I love my Mac, but I'm glad we have a windows laptop for the occasional thing that doesn't support MAC (Netflix, for example - mine was the last machine before the supported ones).I also need to say that my sister still has our childhood Apple IIGS at my mother's house. It still works after 24 years. She boots it up on occasion to play her original game of Bard's Tale. Her characters have so many points that any monsters that show up die when they look at her rather than fight, but she's never shown any inclination to try to finish the game.
Sweet of you to say, Larry. Some might call it obsessive. If you throw math or logic or music in front of me I have to solve it before my brain can move on to something else.
I count it when I need to, but mostly I can feel it without counting.My sister likes to say "Hey Sarah, can you tap out 11/4 time for me?" because she knows that I will sit there until I get it down. Then she sings OutKast's "Hey Ya" and commends me on my fine hand tapping.

They really did craft some beautiful pop songs.
Incidentally, there's a whole sub-genre called "math rock" which is played by people who like to spend more time counting than singing.
Sally - The time signature tells musicians how to count how many beats are in a measure, like whether it should sound like a driving rock beat or a country swing, or a waltz. In a pop song it usually stays consistent, so it surprises your ear when it changes in the middle of some songs.
Another good example is the Beatles song "We Can Work It Out" which changes really distinctively mid-chorus.
Live & Let Die -- Paul McCartney.That's a lot of "in", now that you mention it.
Oh, very cool!
Larry is apparently wearing a rotting fruit hat under his Santa hat.
I wouldn't wear a fruit hat around the yogurt monkeys, that's for sure. A person could get hurt.
I could swear more of his stuff was set here, but I'm trying to remember which books, other than Ten Indians. He's been here since the early nineties.
I can't stand her music, but now that I've read a little bit about her and realize she was a performance art student, I get what she's doing a little more. I can dig the shock value, if not the tunes.
At least you saw them, Lori. :)
I've never been an Anne Tyler fan...Madison Smartt Bell's pre-Haiti stuff feels more real to me. And John Waters' "A Dirty Shame" was filmed in my neighborhood!
Seattle deserves it, Lori.
I don't assume anything about Catholics in general, but I don't generally expect the Vatican itself to approve of the Simpsons.In other news, the Rev. Fred Phelps has condemned Lady Gaga. Maybe he'll start picketing her shows for a while and forget about picketing the funerals of soldiers.
Well, some of this stuff sort of plays to your image. Eightstone Press's "Smile, Hon" series definitely plays up the seedy character of the city. I had a piece of non-fiction published in the crime issue about when our pizza guy was mugged in my old neighborhood but turned the table on the mugger.And the Atomic Books reading series is pretty punk.
I'm really surprised by this.
That cookie pie sounds excellent to me.
Yeah, having taken friends' advice and gone with Snapfish, I'm a little annoyed that it makes you sign in to see them. I spent HOURS getting them in order and captioning too, since it downloaded them all out of order. Argh.Can you not access them at all?
