Wednesday
Three down, two in the chamber.

Post-work was coffee night. Tonight, we returned to the Jitterbug… it’s been a while since we’d been there. When and I walked in, Bruce (the owner) looked up and said: “Uh-oh… here comes trouble.” And laughed. Have I mentioned that I like this place? I do. Robert, , Beth, Steve and Larry showed up over the next few minutes. We sat, ate, drank, talked… and did crossword puzzles.

While I was getting something at the counter, Fly By Night came on the radio. I started to sing/hum/whistle along with it. shared something with the group at this point – something that I wasn’t even aware of:

There are mornings when a Rush song will be on the radio when the alarm goes off. These are mornings that I will lay there and listen to the song before getting up and staring my pre-work preparations. I often drum on the mattress to the beat of the song. This I knew…

There are some mornings when I start to nod off and lightly doze while listening to the song. And on these mornings, I apparently play air guitar in my semi-conscious state. This I did not know.

We got a laugh out of this.

NPR/PRI Stories
Bill O’Reilly, of the Fox News Channel show The O’Reilly Factor, was the guest on today’s Fresh Air. Terry Gross was talking with him about his new book, Who’s Looking Out for You? The interview was going well… until roughly forty-five minutes into the show. O’Reilly then accused Ms. Gross of “…a hatchet job…” and trying to defame him because she wanted to read comments of a review from People Magazine and because she was biased (“too lenient”) in an interview that she gave to Al Franken. He then walked out of the studio.

“Curiouser and curiouser,” said little Alice…

Stray Toasters

  • Hallowe’en dilemma: Jonni is performing at the SLC Hard Rock Cafe for their annual Freaker’s Ball. is having a party that night, too. I want to go to m3l’s party; but I haven’t seen Jonni play in a long time. I need to do figure out how to attend both shindigs. Or clone myself. Or find a DeLorean with a Flux Capacitor…
  • MORE construction on Redwood Road. *twitch*
  • Blue Skies Over Dundalk Salt Lake City
  • I discovered some interesting mixed songs last night on Usenet. Among them:
    • Girls Aloud and Madonna
    • Pink and Elvis Presley
    • Shaggy and Odyssey (a 70s band)
    • Black Eyed Peas and Natalie Imbruglia

    Quite interesting, indeed.

  • I actually picked up – and played – my bass for a little bit tonight.

Namaste.
