Poll CONTINUING THE SURVEY OF IMPORTANT TOPICS.

This is not the best match-up in the world, but it was the best I could do when trying to think of someone to pit against Zeppelin. As far as I go, I do have some love for Dark Side Of The Moon, but then Zeppelin II <3 and it's not even a battle.

OTHER TOPICS ON WHICH MY MIND HAS BEEN OCCUPIED:
  1. Public libraries. I love ours -- they're great on fiction (except the most recent stuff, which you have to fight for, and really old obscure stuff) and good (and getting better) on non-fiction, especially popular non-fiction. They recently stopped charging for holds. They'll almost always buy things if you tell them they should. And it's free! <3 for public libraries.

  2. Digital cable. t. has had digital cable since January (and will only have it for a few more weeks because her deal is ending), and I have developed a real affection for Steven Smith and his stupid untitled rock show. I don't want digital cable myself -- I don't love it enough to pay for it, except sometimes I contemplate all the sports channels and ... but no, I could spent that money on something like, say, more concert tickets -- but sometimes digital cable is delightful. This is on my mind because I spent yesterday listening to Ludo's album You're Awful, I Love You, and I'd never have discovered it if I hadn't seen their video on SURS.

  3. Minor League Baseball. HURRY UP AND PROMOTE THE WIETS, ORIOLES, NORFOLK IS IN DURHAM FOR TWO GAMES IN AUGUST AND IF I DON'T GET TO SEE THE SECOND CATCHER OF SHEP.'S HEART, I'M GONNA HAVE TO CUT A BITCH MELVIN MORA. (I mean, the big club wasn't really using him anyway, right?)
That's pretty much it. I'm boring!

The album I am listening to now is one of my nerdiest guilty pleasures. 20 songs -- some classics rewritten, some originals -- all about cats. We had it on tape as a kid and as I am a nerd who loves this now, I was a nerd who loved it as a kid. It's a happy reminder of good childhood vacations.
