Thursday, March 31, 2005 Why we're not moving forward on the accessibility of BMW hybrids (verbatim from Reed): how about a (expletive deleted) BMW hybrid that Reed can afford. Leasing costs more than financing because the banks feel that the prius is 'too much of a risk' yet the car barely depreciates at all and hybrid technology is said to be 'all there will be' in the future. Recently the radio told me that college educated black women make something like 10% or 15% more, on average, than their white counterparts. There's affirmative action for ya. "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." I suppose the upside is that it's a step towards full equality. Pendulum left, pendulum right, pendulum center. Monday, March 28, 2005 postEaster The box was so silly I had to buy them (and I've always sorta liked animal crackers):  Saturday night's party was fun despite the fact (and perhaps because of the fact) that my beverage of choice for the evening was Nyquill. Barre Libre's second encore around 3 got me on my feet. Recently, I learned that although a degree of implied warranty is created upon the sale of all goods (by U.S. law), the transfer of blood and other human tissue is classified as a service and not as goods, such that it is impossible to literally litigate over "bad blood" unless some express warranty has been created for the specific transaction including a guarantee as to the quality of the material (I mean, service). some recent drawings:   Saturday, March 26, 2005 no update blogger wont allow me to update my earlier post, but for anyone who can't see the party invite below, you can check it out here. I suck at promoting my gigs My excuse this time is that I've been sick and swamped. Since yesterday evening I slept 16 or so hours. Please come out in support of sick lil me spinning tonight. I'll be the green-looking one with the records.  Wednesday, March 23, 2005 serendipity Serendipity is that restaurant on 57th or 58th street, all the way on the east side by the tram thing that goes to Roosevelt Island, which serves those awesome frozen hot chocolates and frozen mochachinos. But this really has nothing to do with that... Last week I went to the very unknown goodwill thrift shop in downtown Brooklyn, where I randomly ran into Robbie (aka DJ Gerald McBoingBoing). Monday night I was on the Q train going home and walked down to the front of the the car because some seedy mofo was eyeing my iPod, and there was Josch standing there, in the same subway car, reading Dante's Inferno in Italian. This evening I was at the Virgin Megawhore in Union Square. First, I was looking at records when some random dude offered me some of his hearty gift certificates. Apparently he was not planning on buying very much, the gift certificates were about to expire, and he was leaving the country tonight. After many different random and not random meetings with this dude within the confines of the store over a 2 hour period, I ended up getting about 25% off the records I bought. The discount was retroactive in the end, for reasons not compeling enough to go into here. I got Supergrass is 10 and Super Furry Animals: The Singles among other things, on vinyl. Those 2 were the bulk of it. And during all of this, I ran into Josh in the Megawhore, and then I went to class, and when I came home, Josh was in my apartment, watching Silence of the Lambs on TV with Rah. Monday, March 21, 2005 ... Lately I just don't have very much to say.    horse & garb courtesy of Merry Parker; guitar courtesy of whoever decided to throw a cheap guitar onto the subway tracks; glow frog courtesy of Paris Bogdanos; Friday, March 18, 2005 amateur night Hugh Hefner refers to New Years Eve as 'amateur night', because most of the people who don't come out during the 364 other nights of the year go out that night and act rowdy and stupid. Well, I think I've officially found 'amateur night' part 2: St. Patty's Day. No wonder I never go out on that day of the year. Last night was purely incidental (and I didn't set foot in a bar). Why do amateur night people feel it's necessary to do things like paint their faces and wear silly hats? And what's with it taking forever to get a cab in midtown? Wednesday, March 16, 2005 the imperatives My post of yesterday was misleading. I actually have been doing TONS of productive things (because I'm just too driven and neurotic not to), but just not the most immediately important things. Sure, it's awesome to have a spic n' span apartment, but on the list of 18 things I must do, nothing cleaning-related made the cut. Today: making dents in list. Tuesday, March 15, 2005 Lately This week I'm techincally on spring break (from school, at least) and so far I'm making the most of it by not doing much in the way of productive things. The rest is WELL needed and the apartment is now almost museum pristine. Friday we went out for Josh's birthday and drank so much wine and tequila that we could hardly move the next day. It was really great seeing Reed again. Saturday Rah spun the best room at the Rubulaud party and blew everyone away. I danced lots. Sunday was a day of eating and recovering and falling asleep during Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla. Monday was Shakey's Thrift On where I gave and got a bunch of good stuff. Today I checked out the new left wing bookstore/coffee bar in the neighborhood and then I took photos of the bedroom.     (more pics on flickr) I'm also designing new business cards for myself. interface Yup. Blogging via flickr is just as irritating and inflexible as I had imagined. It didn't give me any control over where the pic is placed or what size it is shown as (unless I go and edit the post after the fact, and change the parameters in the tags they put in) ...And the posting part didn't work the first 2 times (said it failed), but then on the third try it posted 3 copies of the same post. Yick. Posts here will be 100% organic from now on.  Originally uploaded by Scramberlee. I found this lamp last week. It needs to be rewired and needs a shade, but otherwise, it's beautiful. Yesterday I found some matching mirrors with pretty wood frames that are like mirror images of one another, and I placed them behind the bed, sort of like a headboard. It only sounds a little kinky. This is the first time I'm using the flickr interface to create a blog post because I'm using a pic that I already have on flickr. To do it this way always seemed lazy and just ultimately not ideal, but I am always open to being wrong and perhaps I will love the convenience of this and always do it this way from now on. More later perhaps. Saturday, March 12, 2005 Rubulaud tonight come out! Thursday, March 10, 2005 no longer 76 trombones  much more repugnant than sno-balls  It has been a completely insane week (full 7+ day week; it's not all about any one thing) and I am and have been completely exhausted and experiencing almost perpetual headaches or other physical and psychic discomfort for the majority of it. But I'm not unhappy. No further details will be written here. Smile! Wednesday, March 02, 2005 just cause vs. just 'cause. if you ever use the phrase "just cause" in the presence of any friends who are currently in law school, they will think that you are referring to some sort of legal grounds/defense rather than the notion that you are doing something for the hell of it. ...and then you might be asked something like: "just cause for what?"; the question implying that there must be a gravity and importance to something that you had actually been taking quite lightly. Now I'm starting to really understand why they all lose their minds whilst in law school. Tuesday, March 01, 2005 reaching the public Last night I fell asleep on the couch and woke up around 3 and went into the bedroom and turned on my little antique AM radio and listened to the rebroadcast of the Leonard Lopate show. His guest was some very successful advertising dude with a norwegianish accent (it was after 3, what do you want from me) who was talking about all sorts of interesting things. The most notable thing I learned is that apparently children and teens make something like 80% of consumer decisions in their families in terms of brand choice. Holy shit! Now if that isn't the power of youth. Also of note was that the new standard in advertising these days is to appeal to all of the consumer's senses. It seems that old school adversiting and branding are no longer sufficient. Now the goal is to inundate and please and condition any sense that is accessable and if you're not doing that, you're lagging. I've been going through old digital photos and deleting the bum ones and have found so many shots from the past that should be flickred. Hmm, "flickred". Perhaps it'll eventually become a known term, like "googled".
