  1. Anyone have experience with these? Recommendations? I'm seeing an Ion Profile LP USB Turntable advertised this weekend that will "turn records into MP3s...and play records through your home stereo." Also see something similar for cassette tapes.


  2. these streets

    by paolo nutini, pete wilkinson & sara erasmus

    (performed by paolo nutini)

    cross the border, into the big bad world

    where it takes you 'bout an hour just to cross the street

    just to stumble across another poor old soul

    from the dreary old lanes to the high street madness

    I fight with my brains to believe my eyes

    and it's harder than you think to delay the sadness

    that creeps up my spine and haunts me through the night

    life is good and the girls are gorgeous, suddenly the air smells much greener now

    and i'm wandering around with a half pack of cigarettes

    searching for the change that I've lot somewhere

    these streets have too many names for me

    I'm used to Glenfield Road and spending my time down in Orchy

    I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know

    where'd days go when all we did was play

    and the stress that we were under wasn't stress at all

    just a run and a jump into a harmless fall

    from walking by a high rise to a landmark square

    you see millions of people with millions of cares

    and I struggle to the train to make my way home

    I look at the people as they sit there alone

    Life is good and the sun is shining, everybody floods to their ideal space

    and the children all smile as the boats shuffle by them

    trying to pretend that they've got some space

    these streets have too many names for me

    I'm used to Glenfield Road and spending my time down in Orchy

    I'll get used to this eventually I know, I know

    life is good and the girls are gorgeous, suddenly the air smells much greener now

    searching for the change that I've lot somewhere

    I know, I know, 'cause you keep telling me so

    It's 15 F with a windchill of 10.

    Went to work, home now, and going nowhere

    3. Are you good with directions ?

    Yes

    4. Do you know all your neighbor's names ?

    5. What do you smell right now ?

    The Chex "Puppy Chow" I made last night calling my name over and over and over.


  4. 1. What types of computer games do you like to play, if any ?

    Casual computer games - the ones that are easy to pick up on .

    2. How often do you play these games ?

    Couple times a week. Err, except Mousehunt on Facebook which I play every day because The King demands that I hunt for mice regularly. It's the only way I make gold and collect neat things. :)

    3. What is your absolute favorite game (computer or board game) ?

    LifeStories, which has nothing to do with winning or losing (but all about telling stories from your life.)

    5. Do you feel that board games are becoming obsolete with the rise in computer and video gaming ?

    Not obsolete, no.

    6. Take this quiz - What Board Game Are You?

    You Are Scrabble

    You are incredibly clever and witty. You can talk your way out of (and into) situations easily.

    You are an excellent decision maker. You are good at weighing the options in front of you.

    You're the type of person who can make something out of nothing. You are very resourceful.

    You know a lot of things. Most importantly, you know when people are wrong - even when they won't admit it.

    [Addendum: Can't stand Scrabble, though the description sounds like me. .LOL]


  5. Worst things: driving in the aftermath of a snowfall, the overwhelming grayness, ice, having to go to work when it's snowed signficantly during the night (I hereby request snow days for adults!)

    Best things: being inside a warm home watching snow fall - how it gently covers everything. sweaters, piles of blankets, and that it's different than the other three seasons.


  6. 1. How often do you get sick with a cold? The flu?

    Not often.

    2. Are you the sort of person who goes to work or school no matter how sick you are or are you willing to stay at home when it gets bad?

    I'll stay at home.

    3. How do you treat a cold? What remedies do you like and why?

    Juices/increase vitamin C, warm fluids, zinc, echinacea, and sleep.

    4. What do you do to keep from getting sick in the winter?

    See above and add the occasional neti pot.

    5. What is your favorite thing to do when you have to stay home from work or school?

    Sleep.

    6. Take this quiz - What Vitamin Are You?

    You Are Vitamin D

    You're a naturally strong person. You've always had a lot of endurance.

    You can survive what would make most people crumble. You have both mental and physical strength. You don't do a lot to stay healthy - you just live a pretty natural lifestyle. You stay away from processed junk, sleep like a baby, and get plenty of sunshine!
