Things discovered today: I have almost half my laptop's hard drive tied up in mp3s. That's a lot of music (and yet nothing compared to the friend who has over 100 days of music stored on an FTP server - my library tops out at about 12.5 days). Thankfully this is not a huge crisis; I've got a 500 gb external drive just waiting for me to pile stuff on it. And it will be an incentive to organise my music in a way that makes sense. For the record, iTunes? Do not ever let it organise your music for you. I've got folders and files with names trimmed for no reason, empty folders, compilations split up into seven different folders - there is no love. None.
My love for McSweeney's Internet Tendency grows with Dionysus: Party Clown. I feel that more of the Greco-Roman pantheon needs to be brought into the 21st-century labour force in this manner. I see Zeus as an aging bouncer in a strip club who hits on all the dancers, Hera as a sorority mom, Athena as the scary librarian who chases all the teenagers out of the reference room, and Apollo and Artemis as high school gym teachers.
Incidentally, it looks like I'm not the only one who thinks that the best way to accept an apology is not to complain that it wasn't loud enough. Way to go, Surrey! I'm really impressed at the way you managed to totally overshadow the events being apologised for by acting like self-righteous bourgeois twits.
