Monday
This was a day (at least the workday part of it) that I was glad to see end. Not to say that it was a “bad” day. Far from it. It was just long. There weren’t any real problems, but I was happy to be on the other side of the door at quitting time. Oh, well… that just means that I am one day closer to the weekend. There is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Song of the Day
Get a Move On by Mr. Scruff (You might recognize it as the song in the ads for the Lincoln Navigator)

NPR/PRI Stories
I was listening to WAMU (from Washington, D.C.) since the KUER “Listen Live” server was full this morning.. After a while, I had completely spaced off the fact that I was listening to the D.C. feed. Around 4:00, during the local news update, the reporter was talking about local traffic on “The Beltway.” That got my attention. In four years here, I’d never heard anyone here use that term to refer to any road here. The Beltway (I-695) back home or the “Capital Beltway” (I-495) in the D.C. area, sure. Even the “Capital Beltline” (NC 440) in the RTP, no problem. Here, it’s “the Belt Route.” It was about another 10 seconds before I remembered that I wasn’t listening to a Utah station.

Quote of the Day
From a conversation that I had with this evening:

[22:51] : um……….. i like fishsticks
[22:51] : Well, who DOESN’T like fishsticks?!
[22:52] : the fish
[22:53] : Good point.
[22:53] : i try

  • Spirited Away took the Oscar for Animated Feature Film last night. If you haven’t seen it, you should. Wonderful film and it makes for a great companion piece to Princess Mononoke.
  • What in the Hell has happened to Comics2Film? Last night it was there; tonight… nothing.
  • I think that there was something that I saw earlier today that struck me as “odd” that I wanted to post here… but I have no idea what it was. Should have written it down, I guess. C’est la vie.

Goodnight, folks.
