Rice and Carrots and Lettuce, Oh My!

My mother called me at work today (she’s in town, staying with us). She was in the basement asking how to make my printer work.

She mentioned that it smelled musty down there, which it does, a little.

But when I got home, Stacey said there were puddles downstairs, presumably from the rain storm of late.

I went down to investigate, and noticed that one of the puddles was composed mostly of ground up rice, carrots and lettuce. Directly below the kitchen sink pipe.

So… does anyone have a plumber recommendation to fix rusted-through pipes?

Yeah, that seems about right.

You scored as Libertarian. Libertarians believe that you have the right to live your life as you wish, without the government interfering, as long as you don�t violate the rights of others. This translates into strong protections for privacy and property rights, and a weak to non-existent social safety net.

75% Libertarian, 65% old school democrat… yeah, that about sums up my confusion.

For the Code Monkeys

I like Jonathan Coulton, who is a stay-at-home-dad podcaster who writes a song a week (Thing-a-week podcast). I think I’ve mentioned him before. His stuff is sort of a blend of Weird Al Yankovic, They Might Be Giants and Bare Naked Ladies.

This week’s song is dedicated to and any other cubicle-dwelling codemonkeys on my friends list.

Casting Pods before Swine

I really just have to admit to myself that there’s no way to do a decent quality podcast of our Breakfast Salon without investing about $1000.

So, having admitted that, I will now stop doing google, pricegrabber, pricewatch and ebay searches for mixers and microphones.

But what if I search for…

No. No.

NO!

*sigh*

RSS’d

I had a few free moments at the end of the work day Friday, and decided to
play around with RSS and XML.

The end result of which is, if you are interested, you can now get a
syndication feed of TheaterReview.com by adding theaterreview to your
friends list.

Whenever anyone posts a new review, it should pop up.

So, all the reviews of Kudzu Playhouse and OnStage Atlanta you could ever
want… for free!

Found Footage Festival

My friend Josh emailed me to point out that the Found Footage Festival was
going to be in Atlanta this Friday. He gave it a rave as the funniest
hour of video ever. Apparently, this stuff was collected and edited by
two Onion writers who provide MSTK-style live commentary throughout.

For your Friday night:

Posit: Theme Song

Here’s an unofficial poll for everyone:

You are in a movie about yourself starring yourself.

What’s the theme song they play whenever you appear on screen, your
personal “Axel F”?

told me “Brick House”1 for her, and I quite
agree.

I haven’t figured mine out yet.


1 She says not because she is built like a brick sh*t
house, just because she likes the song. I think she’s built like a brick
sh*t house, but either way.
