American Glutton Baby


I was talking with Ryan today (well, typing on Gmail Chat, which you all should learn about) and he asked me what my first words were. To my gluttonous, American chagrin, I think my first word was either "cookie" or "TD," which is Baby for "TV." Ryan asked if I was sure it wasn't "Triscuit." Yes, Ryan. I'm sure. But I do love the delicious goodness of low-fat Triscuits, I can't lie. They are my staple grain.




Ryan then asked, "you know what I ate yesterday?" which is a great way to get me to list vile things ad nauseum. His response:

Ryan: soy bacon

me: wow. any good?

Ryan: no. i know that some of my advice is suspect and that sometimes people should take things i say with a grain of salt. this is not one of those times. DO NOT EVER EAT SOY BACON. i spent the rest of the night wishing i was vomiting. it was awful.

There it is, citizens. Soy bacon is a bad idea.

It wasn't a bad idea for me to skip my radio show last week, however. I'm sorry I abandoned the airwaves, but I was exhausted and needed to have a Thursday on which I could wake up at 6am instead of 3:30am. I will be back for my show this Thursday, of course, and will play glorious tunes for you. We at WVUD are back to our full schedule, so the show will last for three hours. I'm looking forward to it.

Drip


Last night, we had a ferocious rain. My lovely landlord is particularly proud of the new roof he had put on the building where I rent my apartment. This man is so good and kind. It broke my heart to have to call him this morning to tell him that water leaked into my bathroom through the skylight and damaged (well, released onto the floor, really) some of the plaster on the ceiling. Oh, rain. Why you gotta be like that?

And here, faster than you can be a smart alec and say, "BUT, SARAH, I THOUGHT YOU *WANTED* WATER IN YOUR BATHROOM," are this morning's playlists:

It had just begun to rain as I was nearing home yesterday evening. When I was about six blocks from my place, the rain began simply HOLLERING at the ground. I saw a couple on a far corner get literally hammered with water as they scrambled toward a nearby building. I was lucky enough to be in my car, but felt the sting during my short sprint from car to apartment.


With all of that said, please enjoy this video of the drum battle between Buddy Rich and Animal. Bad pun, indeed.





Please Note:

Next week, all of WVUD's shows will be on the old schedule. That means that Java Time will again go from 6am to 9am. That's three full hours of glorious music, folks!

Box Thursday!


It's Box Thursday! It's the day when my buddy Ryan comes over to take away four million of the boxes I've emptied. I'm nowhere near unpacked, but I have many, many empty boxes piled in the hallway. I'll write more later when I can think of something other than boxes! And Thursdays!


Here are two weeks' worth of playlists. They have nothing to do with boxes and everything to do with Thursdays:

Log for first part of May 3rd, 2007 show

Log for second part of May 3rd, 2007 show

and

Log for first part of May 10th, 2007 show

Log for second part of May 10th, 2007 show

Enjoy trying to read my handwriting on the May 10th logs. The only pen I found in the station was so enormous that it was like trying to write with a pen made from a beer can.
