For [info]lampetia
List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.

1) Obsessive archivist: I dislike sending most files to the void without first making a backup copy.

2) I'm a bit of a parrot. This extends not only to vocal traits but mannerisms as well.

3) Night sky. Hold reverence for, yeah, that. It's our future, you know. (So is the day sky, but you can't see beyond it.)

4) Grins should be as good as smiles, or at least I'd like local viewers to think so of mine.

5) My appearance no longer matters to me, for its reason no no longer applies to others.

6) The seemingly quirky music I love will always be in my library in spite of any present or future peer pressure.

7) My aunt was my favorite person. I'm striving to figure out exactly why.


Tag seven people to do the same.
[info]amicablebitch, [info]aubreyrhea, [info]calliste, [info]mearth, [info]mindwalker, [info]nexussix, [info]orangenish

May l[uck|ove] be with you.

Now immune to spoilers, I can resume internet viewing.

I enjoyed the read.

I especially like the dialog and how it plays so well between characters. That's a major re-read element for me.

Thank you, J. K. Rowling, for the nice "little" side trip away from the mundane.

My biggest hope is that they will shoot the next two movies together. I don't care much about the release dates.

... there's going to be a movie or series of movies based on a popular book or series of books with "[Unabridged]" tacked on to its title(s).

When you see that happen, buy stocks in that company; it has long-tail interests.

Lindsey Buckingham's Go Insane
http://www.amazon.com/Go-Insane-Lindsey-Buckingham/dp/B000002NJW

A bit of a quirky and catchy trek, placing the sound in solitude.

and

Planet P Project's Pink World
http://www.amazon.com/Pink-World-Planet-P-Project/dp/B000005RW7

Precious accidental power abused and spread as the psychic abilities of a mute, vindictive child. If you were around for the '80's, you might have heard "Behind the Barrier." It is neither the whole nor the best of the album.

Please note: Season two, of The Office is a great buy if you like the show. The deleted scenes are as relevant as the broadcast scenes, which gives the DVD twice the content. My only wish is that they undeleted the scenes as a special offering.

How is The Office relevant? It has a Christmas episode. There, how's that?

How is the music relevant? Awesome is an 80's overused term for "great" and That's The Way [That] It Is is an 80's tune. Cronkite retired from CBS Evening News in 1981, a year before the release of Uriah Heep's album which contains the song. His trademark was ending the news with "...And that's the way it is:", followed by the date.

This guy was alive long enough to make this video:

Hey Atheists!! pt.2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7xcL0rezTc

I'm personally surprised by any additional seconds he lives beyond that, due to his own thoughts.



This guy responded to him pretty well:

Even a satellite was moved in space so it could be used in the search.

From the article:

"I admire his effort, I truly do," Winters said. "He has a lot of intestinal fortitude. He comes from the city without a lot of outdoors experience, and he was thinking on his feet, he was very meticulous. ... He had a strong will to survive."

Tilly and the Wall's - Bad Education reminds me a lot of an upbeat version of Liz Phair's - South Dakota and Dead Shark combined -- more so the South Dakota on the Secretly Timid bootleg but, still similar.

I heard them on Letterman last night. Good draw. I like their sTomPy sound.

This is an example of raw fear. One of the things that makes it funny to me is that he's doing his best to self-censor within the confines of his communications and broadcasting experience. The other thing is the good humor interaction of both the news man and the reptile man.

I'm pretty sure one of you posted a link to this, but I recently saw it recommended from digg again and it still makes me roll with laughter!
