Can someone explain this to me? This was WEIRD, people. With bunny heads, among other things.
not-a muxtape update! I'm trying something new... the MeCha-Tape, created by making a folder on Divshare, and sending MP3s to it. It doesn't look as pretty, but you should be able to listen by clicking here, and it should play right through the playlist. The songs this week don't have a theme, I just thought they sounded good together.

To do this yourself...Read more...

"Just like the makeup worn by Gene, Paul, Peter, or Ace!" Man, the 70s were weird.
"Psycho Killer" - the backstory. David Byrne had never heard the Who's "I Can See For Miles"? Also, other classics. If you dig this kind of detail, expect to spend an evening or two.
Job interview: What should I wear? I got a second interview (yay!) for a job that I'm overqualified for in terms of training (yay!) but underqualified for in terms of experience (boo!). Read more...
Do you miss Muxtape? The RIAA killed it before I had a chance to try it out, but if you have your own webspace you might consider giving Opentape a try.

Does anyone here read Miss Manners? Why do people write in so frequently asking how to troll for gifts? Don't they know that she frowns on that sort of thing? Have they ever read the column before?

I guess it is just like people who post on Ask MetaFilter asking what to do about their poorly matched significant other.

The American Wanderer, in All His Stripes I absolutely loved this piece in last Sunday's times by Michael Powell. I would quote the entire piece, but here's a taste:

“Unrootedness is, and always has been, part and parcel of being American,” Arnold Rampersad, a professor at Stanford University and biographer of Ralph Ellison and Hughes, said in an e-mail message. “It is the flip side of perhaps the defining aspect of Americanness, the capacity of its citizens to reinvent themselves.”
Drive-By Truckers & The Hold Steady in Atlanta November 1!!! Elizard and I will be there! Tix are on sale now! I just bought ours! I am excited! I like exclamation points!

Atlanta MeCha mini-meet-up beforehand, anyone?

Pet Peeve #-2147483648 Job interviews. I discussed the owner's blogs with you! What is "not enough enthusiasm"? Do I have to say "wow" more often? Oh, free coffee, that is ABSOLUTELY ASTOUNDING.

Dirty Caller Oh my goodness - This fucker called me at work a couple of times earlier this year. He sounded like he could have been legitimate at first, was asking questions about our organisation, what we did, was breathing heavily, but it could have been someone with a disability or something - we get a lot of disabled people calling up.Read more...
Bunny? That is all. :)

OK, so typing "pasta salad" into a recipe site is like typing "sex" into Google. You get a bazillion results, most of them really icky. I'm trying to make an oil/vinegar based salad, but I have a question.Read more...
I seem to have stopped being an ethical consumer The little green compost bin the council provides has started emitting a cloud of flies when I open it, and it's so yucky I can't face cleaning it. So I've been putting organic waste in the normal bin for the last week.Read more...
I'm going to Ikea for the first time ever tomorrow. It's a bit scary. I need to buy all the furniture for my new apartment. I have nothing. I've downloaded their bedroom planning software, which is also scary to me. This is the thread for Ikea-related words of wisdom.
