Day Five is a happy day

Well, I was willing to work longer today, but the big boss decided to pull the plug and send everyone home after I'd been there for 5 1/2 hrs. It didn't exactly break my heart. Now I'm home, I've got time to myself when I'm not falling asleep, and don't have to work tomorrow.

*pop* Time for cow vodka. Well, it may be 4:30am for you, but it's Friday night for me. I've got the replacements playing on the headphones. Life is good.

I really should get caught up on replies and comments and such, but honestly I haven't had the attention span of a hummingbird on speed lately. I need to find an new irrational fascination so that I have a reason to be distracted, vacant, and unproductive.

Ohio's State Ballet is having a voter registration drive (See Link). Hey, if churches can tell their voters how to vote, other businesses should be able to at least get their patrons registered to vote. And don't even think about telling me a church is not a business.

It's kind of like going to see local folk music but the losers and the people with steady incomes have opposite places. Speaking of which, it's been way too long since I've paid tuition, child support, and sundry car payments for someone who's blessed with a body I will never have (in any sense of the word).

Rave

I realize I haven't properly raved yet. So I must.

My nice little portable mp3 player (IRiver H120) is a jewel. I've only got it about 20% full right now, but it still has all kinds of music on it (maybe 20+ CD's). I quickly learned the controls, anyone who says they're too complicated needs a) clue or b) life. The basics are easy and you rarely have to even look at the display. Despite working in a very active situation I haven't had any problems with skipping or harddrive damage, something that I was concerned about with a harddrive player. Compatibility with UNIX, USB harddrive is so utterly cool. Don't get a proprietary piece of shite. If it can't be seen as a harddrive on your system don't buy it. I wear a belt all the time so the belt case is perfect for me. It's better than a clip, because if it was a clip I would have knocked it off by now.

So why did I decided to rave now. Well, I was sitting at my computer listening to the music on the headphones (because it's almost 6am, you have to be quiet). I decided to walk over to the fridge and get some ginger ale. Then a good song came on and I danced like a maniac before sitting back down. It was then I realized that my music has followed me at work, in the car, at home and not stopped except for when I took the headphones off to deal with something (or to plug it into the car player). For a music freak this is teh cool.

Now if I could just write things when they came to me at work, in the car, etc. I might actually produce 1/20th of the things I've thought of.

might be my first meme

Yanked from tronella among others:

There is a huge chunk of you that I don't even have a clue about your first name. I don't know how old a lot of you are, or where you live, or basic normal things.
This is the problem with LJ, we all think we are so close, and we know nothing about each other. So, I'm going to rectify it.
I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. I promise, I will not make fun of you, or say who asked what.
I then invite you to do the same. Remember, seriously basic stupid questions, don't be embarrassed, you would be really shocked what I don't know about you.

Ask two even. We're not charging on a per question basis.
