I'm Sirius

Sirius Radio is live in this anti-cable TV household. Let the Martyrdom begin!

What lovely theme parties I should have:
Gospel Brunch
Sock Hop/Drive In
Z French (Canadian) Soupe Soiree
Sinatra Martini Night (oh, perhaps that's tonight, r-spe)

Too bad that involves work. We leave that to JB & CD2E.

And who knew that my genre of music is classified as Classic Punk. And that DHP's Death Cab for Cutie is considered Adult Album (so sorry). And of course, r. nesta would just love the all-reggae-all-the-time-channel.

Anyway, the blog is dead. Maybe our IT department could take a look at the PW site and see how she does the separate topic blogs and ads.

newest item on my ipod

Lightspeed Champion, Galaxy of the Lost EP including a Xanadu cover (as heard at the Denver Contemporary Art Museum's Bloody Hearts party on Valentine's Day)

In another's words...

We have been using slacker radio lately for smaller functions (Having DHP & Rspe over for cocktails? Try The Shins channel) but we still have a fondness at our house for crazy party music mixes. Most everything has been imported into iTunes now including all the tunes downloaded from questionable sources during a wedding prep procrastination (drunk)evening. And no crazy party music mix is complete without a few odd ball covers. I have recently downloaded a few via iTunes to freshen up the mix: Cortez the Killer- Matthew Sweet, Ripple- Jane's Addiction, & Nightswimming- Dashboard Confessional.

Would you buy a book of the To Do list of a Florida schoolteacher who wants to lose 92 pounds to a young Mormon looking for his ideal mate? This seems a candidate for InfoChef's "Why didn't we think of that" list. to do list blog

The same person wrote quirky alone: a manifesto for uncompromising romantics. The definition of quirkyalone seems to fit with many crafters:

"Quirkyalone: noun/adj. A person who enjoys being single (but is not opposed to
being in a relationship) and generally prefers to be alone rather than dating
for the sake of being in a couple. With unique traits and an optimistic spirit;
a sensibility that transcends relationship status. See also quirkytogether,
perkytogether, quirkyslut."

"Perkytogethers: Ahhh, the perkytogethers—the quirkyalone's natural opposite. While there are many people whom quirkyalones can respectfully recognize as not sharing their worldview, perkytogethers impose coupledom on everyone. They are the tyranny of coupledom."

"Quirkytogether: The state of being that results when a quirkyalone enters a long-term romantic relationship."

"Quirkyslut: One who maintains high standards for a romantic relationship, but becomes more flexible for the Saturday (or even Tuesday) night encounter."
