Silly thought of the morning

I'm listening to NPR this morning, and they're talking about Super Duper Tuesday or whatever it is, and the talking head says, "On the Democratic side, with John Edwards out of the race, it all comes down to two candidates: Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton."

And I'm thinking, "Wait a second, wait just one second. Mike Gravel has not dropped out yet!"

Go out and vote, y'all who can today.

The Medium and the Message: The Ipod Screen

I seem to have this weird issue where, when I'm looking through my iPod, I'll see albums pass by and think, "I'll never listen to that again, not when there's much better music on my hard drive waiting for its turn in the iPod queue," but when I actually go to gTunes and start looking through the list of albums, I can't seem to recall which ones I wanted to delete. They all look equally valid to me there.

I wonder why that is. Maybe it's because I'm actually out to take the step of deleting them from the iPod, rather than randomly considering how those songs are cluttering up my drive.

Project 365, Feb 4th: Adult toystore front window

Feb 4: Adult toystore windowfront

It no longer amazes me that there's such a blatant toystore on first avenue right across from Pike Place Market. The place has been there so long we've all gotten used to it, despite the impression it must give to any visitors from out of town, and the Market definitely gets a lot of visitors.

But recently they upgraded their mannequins, and apparently the new ones are as anatomically absurd as the cyborgs that appear in the movies they sell.
