Hi, my name is Stereo Mike...

I got a bit done on the apartment closet cleaning. I threw out a lot of stuff that I don't know why I saving in the first place. Pretend that sentence makes sense. Anyway, I think it'll be for the best as I'm pretty sure I'll have a lot more free space. I should have done this when tonya first moved in, but, well, it's too late to dwell on that now.

Among the stuff I found (and kept) was a pair of handcuffs, 12 miniature bottles of single malt scotch and a candle. There must be something we can think of to do with that stuff...

I also found roughly 14000 books that I have not read. Text books, books about magic and chess (past phases of mine), books with misc. trivial kinds of stuff, two Masonic bibles, and a book of Mormon, and my grandfathers chemistry text which is copyrighted 1919. There is just short of zero chance that I will ever read any of these, but I hate throwing out books. I suppose I should take most of 'em down to the library and donate them or something. Do libraries take donations?

My mood continues to be more sour than I'd like, but I am trying to focus on good things and avoid those things that make me cranky. Not altogether easy (especially at work where there are people paid to make me cranky), but I'm trying and that has to account for something, right?

Have a good day, huh?

Mix CD

Also, I'm about 80% done with my Oddball Mix Vol. 2, so y'all have that to look forward to. I thought that I had the basic line-up set, but now I've decided that I want to add in this Ghettobillies song (not my absolute favorite, but still a good one), so that means something that's on there now will have to go. Will it be Liz Phair? Will it be Ween? Will it be the TMBG remix? It's hard to say right now. But something's gotta go. I also need to download little audio clips to help with the segues, if I choose to do this.

Sorry, Sophiecakes, but it will have a couple of songs that are not work friendly. I can burn you a special copy with alternate songs in those spots if you so desire. I think I owe you an extra copy of Vol.1, too, don't I? How much swearing is necessary to make it work un-friendly? I have one song that has one quick instance of "shit" and another that has one quick "fucking". And at least one more that has multiple f-words, so it will probably have to go.

Life's like a movie, write your own ending...

I'm probably the only one here with the Smothers Brothers' Greatest Hits cd, but hopefully you'll understand this:

At the end of the last track (a long, rambling, funny bit), Tommy sings a rather pretty and serious (until the last line) song called "My Quest". Lyrics are like this:

Yay?

I just realized I used "huzzah" as a celebratory word in an electronic correspondence earlier today. I'm pretty sure I once said to someone "if you ever catch me using that "huzzah" word, just shoot me dead." I am now waiting for two to the back of the head.
