Afternoon random

A few minutes ago, just as I turned the corner onto my block I saw a wild turkey standing on a neighbor's stoop! I didn't crash the car, nor could I park it legally, so I completed the circuit of the block, parked in my spot, and ran to where I saw the turkey. It wasn't there, so I quickly scanned the area: the street (full of afternoon rush hour ( Read more... )

I had a hell of a three week long sickness about two years ago. It sucked beyond belief. It was the first time in years I had to take off three days of work in a row.

I second you on the music listening habits. I tried Pandora, but I find SOMA FM's more limited but human chosen selections and playlist more to my liking. I send them a paltry $2.99 a month donation since I spent the majority of my work day streaming their stuff into my workstation at work and the majority of my alone time at home with one of the stations streaming in.

Very cool on the turkeys.

Did you see the recent story about Wolverines being spotted in the Sierra Nevada mountain range? First spotting since 1922.

How about last.fm?

And turkeys in Boston! How cool is that?

Turkeys are taking over our area! Srsly!

When I moved to E. Mass, I rented a room with a rich selff involved self righteous older lady. You konw the type. (Q: What the hell was I doing moving to Newton? A: It was near acupuncture school in Watertown, and I didn't know anybetter.) Anyhow, I was hauling all my shit into rich lady's house, when I saw a very large bird casually strut by. I went inside and said to crazy lady, "I'm sure my eyes were playing tricks on me, but I think I just saw a turkey in the front yard."

Actually, it turned out to be a turkey.

Pandora is okay. Until you start approving of so much hip hop that they keep wanting to play top 40 shit from like 2003 on your ass. Then you abandon Pandora nad reminisce about the good days. Or at least thats how it worked for me.

PS there is a huge urban chicken subculture in Belmont. Just sayin.

Is it possible that hay you posted about was moldy? Maybe you have this: http://www.cdc.gov/nasd/docs/d001601-d001700/d001609/d001609.html

You could also try listening to Launchcast at launch.yahoo.com. It works kind of like Pandora, but instead of giving you music that sounds like the music you like, it gives you music rated highly by people who like the things you like. (It does have the drawback of having commercials unless you give them money, and only working on Windows with Internet Explorer.)
