This handy dandy flowchart makes beer selection simple! Direct link here, where you can embiggen view it full size.
The chart totally pegged me - it shows my two official hockey watching beers, as well as my favorites as a reusable grocery bag aficionado.
I was sucked into an article that has nothing to do with my job, but it was pretty darn interesting. The magazine "New Scientist" compared dogs v cats in a variety of areas to see which would come out on top.
The comments are pretty good, too, with people weighing in on their pet of choice. The most humorous comments are in the 'Cat Among the Pigeons' thread.
Thanks to Desert Jeff for sending me this link.
To Fabulous Co-Worker Justin, who sent me another great interwebs find. The literal version of the smash 80's hit, "Total Eclipse of the Heart".
Anyone else remember slowdancing to this at a junior high dance in the school cafeteria?
Regardless, you might remember the whacky video that made no sense. This explains what was going on in all the scenes.
Via its Twitter Feed:
Anti-christ is capitalized as a formal title, lowercase other: "Anti-Christ Bill Williams," "Bill Williams, local anti-christ."
For the titles of most compositions, use quotation marks. If Bob Fosse is involved, use jazz hands.
Oh, if only I had more than one or two months out of the year to wear these. My heater isn't even turned on yet. These are not made for those of us the living in the desert.
But perhaps those of you in cooler climes are interested in adult size footed pajamas!
Or maybe not.
Was Thanksgiving really just a few days ago? Wow. It's a distant and faint memory to me now. I think I'm losing my mind a little bit, but not as much as Memory Man from Friday. That seems like it happened forever ago, too. I'm not sure if that means I actually have punched through the space-time continuum, one of my life dreams, but it works for me.
I didn't get much of anything done this weekend but I had a good time. 'Sall good.
I forgot to pack my lunch today which ended up being fine because I also forgot I have a lunch meeting. Good thing he called to confirm. See - life works itself out on its own without my need to fret over it.
Here's another example of how time and the universe like to work in harmony for our benefit. This ad featuring Tiger Woods ran in today's WSJ.
Later, gators!
For your next book club reading pick:
First, for all my Canadian peeps and anyone who wants to visit Canada:
I don't know if all these files will come through - or if you are even remotely interested - but I was sending one of the tunes out to some of my band friends and thought I may as well post it here.
Our next concert will feature guest trumpet soloist Joe Burgstaller, who has played with the world-renowned Canadian Brass. He was listening in via Skype from New York City and I must say, I thought he was pretty darn cute. Now that's something to look forward to. I must also say, his stand-in/trumpet-double for the evening was no slouch. Anthony Something-Something, ASU music student from Mexico City was fantastic. Wow. I love being around great music.
This is one of the pieces we'll be playing. It's an arrangement for brass band and has Vincent DiMartino on trumpet when he was a professor at U of Kentucky. I was stage crew for one of the Brass Band of Battle Creek concerts back in my college days and was astounded. At the time (not sure how it's made up now), it was a group of college and other music professionals/educators from around the Midwest started by the director of the Michigan State school of music.
