Like the new digs? I thought something a little brighter was in order for our old eyes ruined by years of Duck Hunt and NBA Jam.
So, eight more working days until I blow this popsicle stand and I couldn't be happier. I'm sure there'll be some degree of sadness on my last day though. After nearly four years here, I've made some friends that I'll be sad to not see everyday so I'm sure that'll hit me then. I've warned them all against crying... because that'll make me cry... and then someone will mock me and then asskickings must commence.
This month's Mixtape has a scheduled "street date" for Sunday as part of a musical challenge going on. Markus decided that we should both pick genres we don't particularly know much about and delve into it to find something mixtape-worthy. So, on Sunday, I'll be showing off the world of Jazz while he tangles with the R&B scene. Should be fun.
I'm working my way through this "The Plot Against America" book kinda slowly. It's a tough read as the author has a tendency to twist and tie himself up into these massive run-on sentences. Plus, there's no linear flow as he hops around a lot in timeline by a few days. But the premise is solid. What if FDR's third term never happened and was replaced by an Anti-Semite, Nazi sympathizer in the White House like Charles Lindbergh? Anyone know if Lindbergh was actually Anti-Semitic? I've been meaning to look it up but haven't yet. I'd be more curious to see a broader version of this "What If" story rather than focused on this one family. I suppose it gives it a more personal tone but the wannabe historian in me wants to see a bigger picture.

So freankin' brilliant. And so freakin' weird. Today in class we were talking about classic video game systems when a student mentioned Duck Hunt. That is mind bullets - telekenisis to the highest degree holmes.
Lindberg was not anti-semetic. He was anti-dentite. He did not like dentist. So he would have continued the war since Hitler was a dental freak. That is why he bombed England day and night. The reluctance of proper dental Hygeine in England drove him bananas.
Sounds like the author skipped the word grammatical checker. Or the editor did in fact use the Word grammatical checker. Oh microsoft. Funny guy.
R&B is a toughie. Like do I go with Al B. Sure and R.Kelly? Or Sam Cooke and Otis Redding. Oh the posibilities.
