What? ?

I was in Barnes & Noble about a week ago because I needed a certain physical book (i.e., not a digital copy). They looked it up on the computer and said "Here it is!" To which I said, "Great, just send me in the right direction and I'll find it." Their response: "Oh, we don't actually carry it, but we can order it for you!" I did, however, get the chance to pull off a fun line. While I was talking to the guy looking up the book, someone asked where the Self-Help area was. My reply: "Doesn't that defeat the purpose?" The inquirer just stood there confused wondering why the employee was laughing... *Sigh...*

No kidding! It's actually hard to find new computer gear that's not COVERED in RGB lighting (some of which has no "off" switch)!

*Pfft!* That's not unusual! ?

This has actually been a battle for me too. Currently, I have WAY too many devices with either some kind of communication (WiFi, Cellular or Bluetooth) along with bright LED's. I now use lights that automatically dim and change color to be more on the "warmer" side towards evening and I have quite a few lights covered with black electrical tape. I also keep my blinds completely closed at night (my lights start to come on before I wake up too) and the only light left (my alarm clock) is set on the dimmest level. My main computer in also in my bedroom so I always turn off the monitor before sleep time. It's helped a lot! Then the stupid time change comes around and now I'm back to retraining my body when to fall asleep and get up again! *Sigh...* ?

Time for some LED Zeppelin? ?

All the other colors were covered with stupid watermarks...

(I know, you were probably expecting me to post Back in Black or Black Dog. Well, I didn't! ?) Actually, even Blue Oyster Cult's Red and Black or Soundgarden's Black Days came to mind as well.

Judging by the lack of dieting around this general area, a nudist camp would be the LAST place I'd want to go! That said, Portland does have a yearly nude bike ride event. Go figure! ?

Ok, so this probably isn't a popular comment, but I would have loved to seen this with some other instrument than a traditional Shamisen (or however it's spelled). The three main players are all very good! Hey, wait... I have an idea! How about adding a guitar??? ?

A nice little positive (albeit cheesy) video! ?

How can you tell the blind guy at the nudest camp? It's not hard. ?

Sheesh Bob! That was pathetic! ? The beginning of that Pavement song is exactly what all parents hear when their kids just start playing instruments together. LOL!

Ah, an update to the 'ol Turbo Encabulator! Nice. ??

Are you implying that he should he have used only one? ?

Sounds like a good time! Don't forget what made Geoff famous though: The Buggles!

Found 'em and now have 'em!

Love all the toys he gets to play with. Daddy wants! ? Does he have albums out or just videos?

Was the cover charge too much on that first video Mesh? LOL!

Gee, I can't think of anything to follow that up with! ?

It's pretty well known that I'm not a fan of Country, but Glen's daughter might be able to change that! Everything I've heard from her and about her is all good.
