Today...
The used bookstore is calling my name. Can I resist? Nope! And I don't even want to try. Curling up by the fire with a good book is much easier when there are books. -
CDO
Is OCD in alphabetical order, as it should be. -
Twang!
George Strait's latest is called Twang. It twangs alright. Like a broken guitar string. George is getting old and this CD shows it. He sounds like a grandfather trying to use current slang. The words might be right, but they still really aren't right. KWIM? Even the most wonderful grandfather in the universe does not sound right using phrases that ( Read more... ) -
Darryl Worley's Latest
I got "Sounds Like Life" as part of a birthday present from a friend. (Thanks Mary!) Finally I ripped it to my laptop and I've been listening to it. Lotsa good dance music on it. It would be a thumbs up. -
Why is it?
I used Add/Remove Programs to remove iTunes and I still had iTunes data floating around in my computer. The configurations that were giving me trouble were not removed, so when I did a re-install, I had the same problems. It didn't fix anything. It just annoyed me. The Microsoft Uninstall clean-up tool did not work. I ended up downloading a fancy, ( Read more... ) -
I Hate iTunes!
I do not want to have my music folder sorted out by iTunes. They use an alphabet that I do not. They can't keep all of the songs together in a single folder named according to the album. I don't want to have three of the songs from an album filed in a completely different folder. I want the album kept together, dag nab it! -
Wassermusik
I have three different copies. Three. One by The Academy of Ancient Music, one by The Academy of St.Martin-in-the-Fields and one by the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra.
Can anyone guess what my absolute fave classical music might possibly be? Anyone? Go ahead, take a SWAG.
It might possibly be The Dance of the Sugarplum Faeries. It could be the 1812 ( Read more... ) -
Form or Function?
A forum I hang out on underwent a cosmetic overhaul. The engine underneath is exactly the same, they just stuck some new graphics on top. The new graphics are larger than the old ones, so I have to scroll more to read the same number of threads. My screen real estate isn't occupied by content, it's occupied by graphics. And they aren't even ( Read more... ) -
Bad Management
I used to take pride in working for an ISO 9001 certified company. We were all regularly given training on how to produce quality software and the like. Never, ever, should one person have to pull long shifts and 'save the day'. That's a fast way to lose certification and you just don't get quality like that. You can't. If you've been pulling a 72 ( Read more... ) -
In the Kitchen at Lightfoot
A good friend treated Bud and me to dinner in the kitchen at Lightfoot. We got to eat what the chef chose to prepare for us. Yum, yum and double yum. I hope I can remember it all. Fresh french bread, with tomatoes and olive oil and herbs. So fresh, you could taste the garden. Amazing. Then a ham and corn chowder. Crunchy corn, not mushy, with ( Read more... )
