I’m too musically ignorant and lacking in ‘taste’ to really comment, but everything I’ve heard from Metallica (up until St. Anger) I have enjoyed. If Bob Rock was involved in making all of their albums through the 90′s and those albums were filled with good music, then I don’t understand pointing him out as a not-smart move. Then again, I don’t really understand what part the producer plays.

Oh, and as usual, I wasn’t aware of them until after all of their original fans completely freaked out over the the new sounds after the … what was it, the Black Album? A co-worker (circa ’97) lent me a pile including old and new stuff so that I could hear how they had lost their way. I ended up liking Metallica all around.

If we want to point out stupid decisions, the whole letting Lars speak in public thing would be a big mark against Metallica.

(Too much blahblahblah?)

Good evening, Pan.

Home from my son’s “winter program” at school. My wife reminded me that this will be the last one we attend as he’ll be moving up to Kindergarten next year.

Also, I’m now fondling my new 32GB Ipod Touch.

On a different note … a musical one !

I really really really should do an “earbuds” on this but …
I cannot recommend enough … The Klezmonauts – “Oiy to the World”.
First … these guys are really good musicians so it’s got that going on.
Second – it’s a copletely differrent sound and arrangement of so many of the tunes you are probably on the verge of getting sick of.
Finally – for the musicians in the crowd … the “musical jokes” that are woven into these arrangements are HI-larious!

The concept should say it all … it is a traditional Jewish Klezmer band doing traditional Christmas songs.

Do yourself a favor and check it out -

I think Metallica released plenty of decent music in the 90s, NS – but didn’t make many smart moves. Bob Rock? Really?

Hair…I am as ever-changing as something that changes a lot.

Currently I am growing it out. It was long and poofy in the summer. I told Kerry that I was going to cut it and she said that I was cutting away my love for her.

Totally cut it anyway. Heheh.

Hrmmm…. Honesty is a dangerous weapon… It falls into the same category as “grenades”. I find that I can be honest with a woman, and they’ll thank me up front, but I’ve found that they will let that answer simmer on the back-burner for a few hours, until after I’ve forgotten the original question in the first place, and they hit you with something like “What do you mean I don’t look good in short skirts?”

Diplomacy. Is. Safe.

One of these days I’ll have to cut my hair, but I’m pretty sure that I’ll take my grandfather’s path and go from locks to butch. In the meantime, I enjoy threatening to keep the queue if I start going bald. It makes those close to me cringe.

Heh.

Then I had to take part of it back apart so that I could shove it into the closet to hide for the next 8 days.

I wish I could still have long hair, but that just doesn’t age well with most guys. The haircuts were just about the only smart thing Metallica did in the 90s.

Bunny, I think hubby’s intentions are in the right place. If you nudge him for his honest preferences for your next hair venture, I bet he’ll tell you.

As true as that may be Van, you still have preferences. Especially if you’ve known the person a long time and have seen them go through different phases.

Maybe I’m a bit weird, but when I like somebody I want them to dress and cut their hair the way they want and not the way I want.

I told my hubby if he wouldn’t tell me what he preferred, I’d cut my hair like my Dragon Age avatar. He just rolled his eyes.

Sorry NS, I just looked creepy with long hair. I tried as long as I could to pull it off. I loved having long hair but it was starting to get in the way of job prospects and any chance of having a girlfriend

we cut pieces out of sheets of metal (4×8 foot steel) and if it is a job for the military, QC has to test the batch of sheets to determine what parts of the vehicle these sheets can be made into. QC will take a small sample of a sheet and put it in the clamp to tell the properties of the metal

I once told an ex that her braided ponytails reminded me of the girls in the “World’s Strongest Women” shows on ESPN. That was it for that hairstyle.

And then sometimes you just make an involuntary facial twitch at a new hairstyle and it haunts you forever. It’s been a long time and Jade hasn’t had her hair done with bangs since.

Believe it or not, sometimes girls want an honest answer when they ask their other halves a looks question. Of course “does this outfit make me look fat” requires diplomacy but ” do you prefer my hair long or short?” requires an honest answer. How else are we supposed to know what kind of gussying up to do to make you happy?

I do, however, try to make things easy ony hubby and generally avoid the “requires a diplomatic answer” questions but he’s a man. What are you going to do? *shrug*
