Wed, 02 Apr 2008 05:25:00 PDT
With the start of April comes many burnt blogosphere offerings, but the gem of the day was a nerdlicious new song from MC Chris. He'd been advertising an exclusive preview track from his upcoming album, though given the April 1st release date it seemed unlikely he'd be putting up anything legit. He ended up unleashing a song that won't be on the album, or presumably any other album since the backing track consists almost entirely of samples from the greatest Danny Elfman theme of all time...

Are you frustrated by the limited color options out there for kitchen appliances? Not into stainless steel, white or black? Join the club. Reader Denise wrote to me, asking for some advice: I'm getting ready to buy all new kitchen appliances; hooray! The trouble is, my kitchen is very open into my family room, and my house is quite colorful, with lots of Mexican and abstract influences--and lots and lots of color.

When it comes to working cattle, my philosophy is this: if they need me, I’ll jump right in and start working. But if they don’t, I really don’t have any desire to symbolically “be in the pen”. I will be there if I’m needed. But if I’m not contributing anything to the overall progress, I’d just as soon sit on the sidelines on my keister and do what I do best: be utterly and unabashedly worthless. But I’m OKAY with that!
