Bright Lights Big City

I just read Bright Lights Big City. It was good. very good.

New York Renaissance Faire - NYC Metropolitan Area

Today I went to the New York Renaissance Faire. We were stuck in traffic for a good half hour, had to park a mile away, and all I got to do was eat a turkey leg.

I can't believe:
1. They charge almost $20 for this.
2. The large crowd.
3. That there is no real difference between this and a street fair in new York except that in an NYC street fair, you can buy irregular socks.
4. There is a fine line between Goth and period outfits.
5. Lots of people were dressed in period outfits. Yes, a lot were employees but the scary part is that many of the people who went dressed up. The other scary part - none of those people were good looking.
6. Outfits from the renaissance show a lot of cleavage.
7. I got freaking carded for a beer. I haven't been carded in a long time, with the exception of the super-pretentious clubs downtown where they card everyone. I imagine that it was because I had a hat on, so they couldn't see my receding hairline. And the lady asked me, "have I been asked?". What if I had said yes. Then again, she did stamp me. For a beer. Ridiculous.

I also took the NJT/Metro North train back to the city. The seacaucus transfer station is nice, but you have to walk a few hundred yards too far to transfer. Totally inconvenient

I like this music

I found this music from some link on the web. Its good stuff.

On The Search for the perfect free netradio

I decided that I need some good tunes at work in order to concentrate. I am kind of sick of what is on my ipod these days as most of my music on there was music I listened to in high school or is one of my roommate's crappy techno CDs.

So I am now on a search for some good net radio stations. I have gone through and set up a launch.com station but I ranked a bunch of songs a few years ago and I don't like that music anymore but it keeps on playing it.

I have used spinner before but that was having some firewall or other problems at the office.

I have also gone through a bunch of shoutcast stations and sometimes listen to radiostorm or kcrw music or the like. Basically, I want music that has modern rock, classic rock, some pop, and also some of that artsy stuff you hear on WXPN.

Please comment with your suggestions.

Also as a small protest when our company moves offices and our cubes get cut into basically 3, I plan on using my workspace for some big speakers and a big subwoofer. Any suggestions?

when is it too late to call someone?

if someone says you call them late, what time is too late?

are there different times for land lines and cell phones?

I think 1:20 am would be too late. But not too late to text message. Yet
what if they are out of cell range so texting is not an option?

Ever have one of those days

You get up early and have a million things to do. But you end up reading the newspaper for an hour. It takes you a while to eat your breakfast. Then you end up sitting on the couch captivated by obscure Olympic sports such as: women's soccer, crew, volleyball.

Of course it feels like it is going to rain so you don't do any of those errands you wanted to do. And now it is almost 5pm and it is a lost day.

Cause really, nothing is as fun as studying for a test 3 months away at 5pm on Saturday night.
