AN REM HOLIDAY WEEKEND!

Posted by Infonistacrat on Friday, July 3rd, 2009

I’m sitting here in the Detroit airport, waiting on my wifes plane to get in from Cali, and decided that instead of working, it would be better to listen to some music, write up a post, and have a little fun. I can only take work so long, and besides, everyone else in my [...]

SHUFFLING THE iPOD, DAY 3

Posted by Infonistacrat on Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

Last day in a hotel room for a few days…tomorrow, I am heading home. Sometimes, even with the roughest of jobs, you get a week where the stars align, the universe opens up, and everything goes well. It doesn’t happen often, but when it does, it’s a beautiful thing. And make no [...]

BACK TO THE FUTURE, I GUESS

Posted by Infonistacrat on Monday, June 29th, 2009

Well, I had the new theme up for a bit, but there were a few tweaks I just could not get worked out. Mainly, I simply could not get it to work with Wordpress Stats. There were a few other things that kind of bugged the hell out of me, that I could [...]

A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS, PART 2

Posted by Infonistacrat on Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

Day two of a few of my favorite things. Basically, it’s all about the music I’m currently listening to. One of these days, I’m going to throw the old iPod on random play, and list the first ten songs that pop up. But for today, this will have to do. I actually got the inspiration for the list from my work out today. It seems that somehow, my 44 year old body forgot that it’s supposed to shed the weight it put on in the winter. So, I find myself in the nice position of having to beat the hell out of it…unfortunately, it ain’t working too well. :-)

So, I’m doing three things to try to loose the pounds. First, I’m running, 2 miles 4 times a week. I’m also lifting, much as I’ve always done. Third is that I’m doing a six week program that supposedly works you up to 100 push-ups at the end of the program. Plus, I’m out shooting baskets at night. All of it, I have the trust iPod playing….and this week is some of the stuff I’m jamming to. Enjoy!

    Great choice on the Camper Van Beethoven song. That whole CVB album is top notch

    @jek:

    Ain’t that the truth! I absolutely Camper Van Beethoven music. They have such a wide range of musical style, all with that little twist to em.

  3. Stephen Says:

    Great choice on Complicated Shadows, too. I forgot Elvis could be that intense.

  4. The Fourth Bardo Says:

    I remember seeing CVB in their late ’80’s heyday,they were brilliant. My favourite bit was when they started doing Led Zep’s ‘Dazed & Confused’ with all the portentious chords, then just when the vocals would have kicked in, they veered off into a hoe-down! Had the audience cackling with glee.
