The St. Louis trip for the long weekend was just what the Dr. ordered. Got there late Friday, enjoyed cigars and beer with Michael Weaver and crashed around 3a. The next morning, while waiting for NPulsifer and Gisele to show up, I looked at my phone and discovered four calls from my boss. Tried calling him back, but got voicemail. About 20 minutes later, he called again. The big file we'd been waiting for had arrived, but he couldn't get it to run (shocking, I know). When I informed him I was across the state, he was less than thrilled, but understood I wouldn't be coming in to fix it.
( much more detail on the weekend )One of the more interesting aspects of the trip was taking Dragonet's new car, a Ford Fiesta, on its first road trip. For being so small, I found it fairly comfortable both as driver and passenger, though I don't think I could drive it on a regular basis. The real fun was playing with the Sirius XM radio that came with it. We found a channel that described itself as "contemporary eclectic," and it certainly was. A wide variety of music, with nothing that made me want to change the channel. On the way home, we were treated to an in-studio set by David Bromberg, promoting his new album, which I need to get. And now, here's some tunes for today.
1) Battlement Jaxx (Original Mix), Basement Jaxx vs. Metropole Orkest
2) Empire State Of Mind feat. Alicia Keys, Jay-Z
3) Contact High, Love Jones
4) Ology, Living Colour
5) Stoppin The Love, KT Tunstall
6) Kick In The Eye, Bauhaus
7) Jack-O-Lantern, Supreme Dicks
8) Hold On To Your Dreams; Jah Wobble, The Edge & Holger Czukay
9) Doctor Who Original Theme, Delia Derbyshire
10) She's Too Good For Me, Warren Zevon
injury time
11) Public Service Announcement, DJ Danger Mouse
12) Cage Those Pythons, Dinowalrus
13) Wash Off, Deerhunter
As for the file from hell, it got run Tuesday, and I went in early to get it all finished and shipped off to D.C. for the conference next week. And in early today, to catch up everything else. And then, a weekend with no required activities, besides watching feetsball on Sunday.
