Closing music … “Candlelight”
So close.
My head may drop off, what with all of my nodding.
Ooo, ooo, and “In the Hall of the Mountain King”!
That one is good also.
Dr. WHo E09 “Cold Blooded” was pretty gooood.
Thoughts UK Deadpanties?
Here some are my Classical Favs:
“Carmina Burana” by Orff.
Bach’s organ pieces, because they are amazing (ie “Toccata and Fugue in D Minor”)
Verdi’s “Requiem”
Handel’s “Water Music”
Pretty standard stuff.
I’m a Mahler girl myself.
Took the kids to their 1st swim lesson today. Looks like it’s going to be a fun 6 weeks!
And really…
Who had Montreal and what am I supposed to sing?
really…
My Heart will Go On or Montreal Macho…
Got it.
Cj – you can either sing My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion or Montreal Macho I get you a link for the latter in a sec.
Never mind, you figured it out on your own
Yeah I listened to the Montreal Macho…
I think my Heart may just have to go on – but we’ll see…
JfS did you get my MP3 file in ze email?
Sad to say my first experience of ITHOTMK was playing this game:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7khL9Ms4ow&feature=youtube_gdata
just wait till it gets past the out of tune blue Danube to hear the beepy rendition of that classical bit of music.
JfS: Cold Blooded was awesome, and the writers are BASTARDS! Shrapnel…I don’t know what I thought it would be… Shrapnel…BAH!
OH, and I’m a fan of Mozart’s Requiem, Beethoven’s 5th and 9th. Schubert’s unfinished (Dear God… it’s Smurf music!), The Planets are good, but I think Jonathan Williams interpretation of them for the Star Wars themes also works (yes, it’s public domain so we can’t shoot him). Moving into more modern, I love Bear McReary’s work on BSG, but it’s hard to drive to…
Oh, and J.S. Bach is nice now and again… so’s PDQ, but he’s lesser known.
Lejon: I agree with much of that. Love Mozart’s Requiem, also love Dvorak’s 9th. If you want some good driving music, I’d suggest Djawadi’s score for the first Iron Man movie.
*tosses in two pennys*
My favorites are Beethoven’s 6th and 9th. I do like all 9 thought. Haven’t gotten a chance to listen to much else.
I don’t know. I also like the occasional Debusey, but mostly because of the Star Hustler guy on PBS…
CP: Fuck You — Lily Allen
reaper: Can’t really go wrong with Beethoven. :)
ditto: ditto
Ditto, I agree, I have all 9 from when the BBC Put them up for free. It is really the only thing that got my interest in classical music to take off.
ditto – I love that Lily Allen song. So great.
reaper: It was Looney Tunes for me. :D
EssBee: Yep. The album is pretty good too.
Went to Phoenix ComiCon this past weekend.
Shot a number of photos. May even post them eventually.
Went to the Barry Bard’s Memorial At the Movies panel.
I have one thing to say:
Despite my loathing for Leonardo de Caprio I think I want to see the following movie:
http://inceptionmovie.com/
heaven help me, I was snared by the advertising.
Apparently the advertising has snared everyone else, for I seem to have slothed the
Oh, yeah – I also was excited to run into Lejon and DanS at Comicon!
Oh that’s right! Sorry Cj, I never caught up with you after that…
Now come on, there’s only one true driving song:
Wagner – “Ride of the Valkyries”
Honesty, you people just scare me some times :)
Ed, I personally prefer Rob Zombie’s Dragula for driving…
I always thought Megadeth’s “High Speed Dirt” was a good driving song.
think Geek is having a dad’s day contest. I (and Vanamonde) can’t enter but you ‘Mericans might want to give if a go
http://www.thinkgeek.com/geekdad2010/?cpg=17520
Was nice to see a new take on an old ‘enemy’ in the Dr Who two parter. Thought the first part was better though, if only because it was more creepy.
Oh and the guy playing the head reptile sounds like the guy who played Marvin the Paranoid android in the hitchhikers TV series.
hiss boo to think Geek.
I agree about hiss boo to Think Geek, Van.
As for Dr. Who, Canada’s about a half dozen episodes behind you. We just saw the vampire episode on Saturday.
CP: Rasputin – Boney M.

So Jack, are you doing anything on October 2nd?
Hi guys – what a day at work . . . UGH.
But Sly B and I just made up for it. We went for sushi, and then went to scope out our new tattoo art. Yay!
I entered Danthol into the thinkgeek contest. Thanks, Bunny.
Rhett – at UB’s of all places?
I didn’t even know that bar was still open!?
Mmmmm sushi…
U.B.’s does seem to be the venue of choice for oldschool thrash bands. I’ve never been there, but from what I hear, I’d think Nevermore was popular enough for more lucrative venues. Maybe not.
Rhett – that might make up for missing this year’s Dream Theater/Maiden show.
Goodnight :mulch:
Nevermore at UB’s? Man, that’s sad. Even Green Jelly did better than that when they were last here.
No really, goodnight.
No no, Good Morning.
Honestly, you people scare….no no, I just used that one.
:)
JfS: Ah, “Toccata and Fugue” was the piece that got me started in classical music. Excellent piece.
Mozart is excellent, of course. My faves are his Requiem and “Rondo Alla Turka” (sp?).
morning pan
to soon?

CPIMM: one of these things is not like the others…
Morning, DP. Boy I did not want to work out this morning . . . BUT, I did it.
Looks like it’s going to be a nice day in Longmont.
I’m catching up on SGU. CP: Sabotage.
COME ON.
any cat lovers interested:
http://mashable.com/2010/06/01/cats-tweet-with-liveblogging-device/
Might educate cat owners that cute kitty is a merciless killer of birds and small rodents.

CPIMM Again: one of these things is not like the others…
Is it the one of Rasputin? Still thriving in the 21st century..
If only I had this much time on my hands:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zX09WnGU6ZY
Vanamonde: He was a tough one to kill, eh?
Yeah, I figured that they be at a bigger venue as well. I think I’m going to get two VIP tickets (meet and greet :) ) for the UB show for me and Teresa, so if you want to be in on that show let me know. They also play in Tucson at “The Rock” another small venue the next day. I wouldn’t be against getting a general admition ticket for that show as well. :)
Heh, I’m guessing if the cat doesn’t move for 24 hours it’ll tweet, “Apparently I’m dead :( “
Hey Deadpan!
Was downtown this morning. Home now.
I discovered my downtown secretary doesn’t understand what a LAN is (which, given some of the other computer issues I’ve had with her doesn’t surprise me – the stories I could tell). When I was downtown, my LAN plug didn’t seem to work so I had to run the wire across the hall and plug my computer directly into the hub.
I e-mailed the secretary to look into it (I’m long gone before she gets into the office). I just got an e-mail back saying they can’t test it as long as I’m signed in on my computer. Huh? How does me working from home, signed into my home network and connecting to Ontario affect a Calgary downtown office LAN connection?
I’ve got a voice mail into her telling her to plug in one of their laptops to test it. We’ll see how it goes.
Got a call from the secretary. I convinced her to get a hold of IT and have them look into it. I really don’t see why that was such a big leap.
(I couldn’t do it myself because technically my dept is renting an office from their dept, even though we’re the same overall company. Gotta love the convoluted big company thinking.)
If anyone misses Tom from BOL he has a new daily show.
CP: Tech News Today 1
I’m obviously out of the loop, reaper. BOL?
Bolivian Orange Lemurs?
Bunny, Cnet’s Buzz out loud. Daily tech news podcast.
But I like Jack version better.
Bad Okra & Lentils
Or Manute Bol?
http://www.nba.com/sixers/features/drive_manute_bol_070807.html
Boiling Oil Liberates
I stood next to/spoke to Bol once when I was in high school. It’s an odd feeling to stand next to someone so very tall. Bol played on the same team (maybe? Maybe it was an exhibition? Not sure. It was 1987 or 1988) at the time with Spud Webb (5’7″). They looked almost unreal standing next to each other.
My team won the state championship and was invited to play at McNichols Arena before a Nuggets game. That was a great experience.

:FTB: ate my Manute Bol story, Jack. Make it stop.
TEB: Buzz Out Loud
http://www.cnet.com/buzz-out-loud-podcast/
Crap, missed that the answer was given. Bad me.
Barnyard Owl Lottery
Booty On Loan
Bunny, I know you’ve told me some of the stories about the office gal.
I, too, am not surprised at the events you’ve described considering what you’ve previously mentioned.
Summer project is going to be to paint the inside of my house.
These are the colors I’m considering. What do you think?
http://tinyurl.com/28shbtp
CW: Why so many songs have been written about Georgia.
Good Morning, Pan!
EssBee: what problem did you have with Sabotage? (I’m sure I had a problem too, I’m just not remembering the ep)
TEB: We in the technical support field feel your pain.
Cj: I don’t know about the green. Perhaps it’ll dry different, but I’d go with something a little softer. Not a pastel, but maybe not as dark…
Cj, in at least my case one color is a good as another.
As stated before “…but I have a penis what do I know.
Black orange lemon
Lejon, the resolution of the crew separation was just BS. After all that, it was just so easy?!
Listen all y’all it’s a Sabotage. Listen all y’all it’s a Sabotage. Listen all y’all it’s a Sabotage. (first thing that popped into my head.)
CJ: I like the the colors, nice complimentary pallette. I’d be careful about putting saturated colors in every room of your house. My preference is have a couple rooms with deep intense colors and the larger connecting rooms lighter more neutral (i.e. more gray). The thing about intense colors is you get the Las Vegas effect, that is you are dazzled by the colors intially but after a while they can start to annoy you. On the other hand, people that are afraid of colors have very drab homes. LOL So a balence is preferable. :)
Thanks Jack, now I have that bass riff in my head.
EssBee: Oh, yeah. That was the fabled “RESET” button we’ve all heard tell about. Completely sloppy resolution, but at the same time necessary. It’d be interesting to see if they use the fact that it was too easy in future episodes, say where those 3 were actually copies of the originals, and have been sent to infiltrate Destiny… but they probably won’t do that…
WHERE’S SCRY????????????

only a contest like this would have some creative person dare to make aunt may a force to be reckon with . and a dino civil war with johah rex is just crying to become a comic book reality plus the dino civil war is just screaming film. jurrasic park where the dino’s pack heat.
A bit close to home, my neice lives in that town, thankfully she’s ok:

looking around the net over lunch and came across this gem:
http://www.reddit.com/comments/cand4/what_is_your_most_groan_inducing_joke/
the varnish joke and replies made me laugh so hard it took about 5 minutes to get through.
OH ESSBEE! I concur 100% on the complete bullshit that was “Sabotage”. That ONE silly fucking episode nearly made me stop watching the series. This fucking thing better improve. I was SO an anti-hater for the first 5-6 episodes. Suddenly..um… I’m starting to lean the other way.
Van: I hate to sound callous, but Thank God it didn’t happen in the States… AGAIN…
OH LEJON! That would be its one saving grace. To explain the ease instead of just “oh we thought you did it”. Maybe a bit of foreshadowing.
Lo Pan: Yeah, I sometimes know how to fix REALLY STUPID IDEAS… sometimes…
CP: Fearless — The Bravery
Busy day here. How is everyone else on hump day?

cool list. agree with all the choices though would have waited till number one for sonny and would have had snake blocker which can not believe that he goes around with that name as a tie for number one.
Unless it happens to someone you know, it’s a statistic.
Sad but true.
I met Bill Austin a couple of times and once actually went to a taping of the Beth and Bill TV show. He was a very very nice man. I feel this is a great loss for us here in Arizona.

And about the colors – I should have specified that those are only for the living room and kitchen areas – not the entire house.
Yikes, Van. I am glad your niece was safe.
Introduced the kiddos to some of the basics of the

They enjoyed making up heroes. It was good.
reaper, I will re-tell the panda joke at some point in the future.
Van: I concur, I am glad your neice is safe.
CJ: I think your plan for colors will work very well for you.
Jack: Panda Express?
Van, so glad your niece is safe!

Just booked another Dallas trip. Dallas in June? COME ON.
EssBee, are you starting up a catchphrase?
It captures my mood and feelings of late. COME. ON.

CP: Dance Commander — Electric Six
Thank you, Lo.
haha, reap.
EssBee: I blame myself for SGU this season.

That’s cool, Lejon. I actually LOVE Greer. I also love the endowed female soldier – don’t even know her name!!
I still dig the show. But dang that episode was whack. I mean, COME ON.
Here’s what I wish: that Lo Pan would tell us how he really feels about it.
Oh, I’m right there with you EssBee. Whack.
I sincerely hope that the ease of the return is an insidious plot that’s going to come back and cause problems later.
Good point – maybe they’ll make something of it. I’ll hope with ya.
Carry on, just sharing this:
http://longstreet.typepad.com/thesciencebookstore/2010/06/jf.html
Dance Commander = TEH SHIZZ!!!! I mean COME ON!!!!! So good.
“Insidious” = “fuck now what? fuck fuck fuck we’ve written ourselves in a hole! fuck fuck I KNOW MAGIC!!!”
I was thinking more like this:
“Insidious” = “brainwashed by advanced race of blue thingies. Returned for violent purpose. Look out, bitches”
Oh, we already know HOT-Senator’s-Daughter has been mind whipped… Rush too, but he’s less susceptible.
I smell the magic.
LOL. Smell the magic. COME ON.
Lejon, hot, really? I’m still a fan of busty soldier.
EssBee: I wouldn’t toss any of the main women on that show out of bed for eating crackers.
In fact, the quadriplegic scientist that they had on there for a while…yeah…
SG:U – Ship of Hot Castaways
HAHA. Crackers. Good point, sir. Good. Point.
A little inside baseball – I don’t know what Leo Laporte’s motivation is with the new tech news show. He steals Tom Merritt away from CNET and puts him in a show that directly competes with Buzz Out Loud.
I’ll pick up the new show, but I don’t expect that I’m going to be keeping two tech podcasts that overlap this much.
Are you missing River Phoenix at all? It just registered to me that we haven’t seen him after the break…
Do you mean Joaquim? He’s not quite dead.
I agree with Nomad’s ‘How to Destroy Angels’ assessment, btw. Good stuff. Other than the female vocalist, it sounds like the next nin album.
My bad… not sure why I thought Lou Diamond Philips was River Phoenix…
And apparently, he came back and that was a bit shocking…
So, it’s really cool that my company has a catering service that serves dinner for 2 bucks every day. I love that. It’s good stuff. Tonight was beef brisket w/corn on the cob and I was really looking forward to it… but….
alas.
I take lunch/dinner from 7:30 to 8pm… the caterer stops serving at 8pm.
So when I get stuck on a phone call that goes over that time frame – boo – hiss – I don’t get dinner! grrrrr
I went to Burger King and scarfed my burger on the way back to work and now I have unhappy tummy. Boo hiss.
