8351 - Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, a Day of Rest!

Got together with Kev last night, did a classic fart party at my place... pizza, caught up on gossip and family, and watched the extended version of buckaroo banzai. I think that he'll do quite well to be away from his siblings and in-laws for a year. Newt was pretty talkative...he smelled Kev's Zoo, and was investigating him the whole time, alternately nuzzling, sniffing, and bipping.

Yesterday morning when I left for work, the smell of ozone was in the air, and thunder in the distance. I put my palm, cell phone and digicam in a sealed plastic bag, and went to the stop with umbrella as a walking-stick. Before I cleared the D building, it was coming down in sheets. By the time I made it to the bus stop, I was soaked through, save for a circle of only semi-wet the size of my bumbershoot coverage. My natural body-heat dried most of me out, save for socks and shoes, which squished throughout the day. Not the most fun feeling, and I really couldn't take 'em off, because I had some dog & pony shows / trainings to do. I was more than delighted to be free of those foot-bindings once I arrived home.

Jeroen Offerman’s decided to record his own version of Led Zep’s classic Stairway To Heaven. Backwards. He recorded the whole thing back to front giving himself Nevaeh Ot Yawriats and then reversed his version to make it play the right way again.

Someone was kind enough to reverse Jeroen’s reversal again and this is what his tune sounded like before being run backward.

More about why he did it here.
