You get some interesting shit on the Cake station. A lot of Beck, for one.
Do you get any Moby?
I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

Not that I remember. Other than Beck, there was a lot of shit that sounded like it had been on Dawson's Creek, unexpected Gorillaz, and a lot of Fratellis.

Coding and Sleeping
yes, I know we are WAY behind the curve on this
Heck our component stereo only has RCA jacks. It's around 18 years old. The speakers (Boston Acoustics) are around 25 years old. That shit never dies.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have neither a stereo nor any speakers. Luckily I live alone, because I just wear my iPod around the house.

Our stereo is ancient as well.

The new stereo doesn't have a tape deck. Stereos with tape decks still exist, but, really, the iPod dock was the primary motivator behind this one (not to stream Pandora; that was just something I figured out one night after we got it). So the old stereo is going to the community Up For Grabs day. (Once a year, in the auditorium of one of the churches, there is a swap meet called Up For Grabs day -- as long as you bring 2 things [obviously you can bring more], you can peruse all the other stuff people brought and take home as much as you like. Last year Tim got a perfectly good LCD monitor for his computer.)
Somewhere there is a portable boom box that has a tape deck, in case we have a sudden need to play tapes.

Our wings are not tired.
So, our company is in GREAT upheaval right now, which I can't go into. It's been hell.
BUT I though you'd appreciate this: we have all new marketing people and the new director scrapped the entire Polar Bear campaign immediately. Not only did we hear from the FDA that we should not use "put pain into hibernation" as a selling phrase, but the new marketing director was like, "Polar bears don't hibernate! This is idiotic."
Hahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahaaha

Now I want to come up with wacky marketing plans for this: Give pain an atomic wedgie! Go ahead, pain; make my day! [Note: may be a copyright issue.] This product will fuck pain UP, for real, man!
...this is why I am not in marketing.
but the new marketing director was like, "Polar bears don't hibernate! This is idiotic."
Hahahaha, nice!

I know it's 2 YEARS later and all, but I am definitely chanting "ItoldyousoItoldyousoItoldyouso...." under my breath.
