I’ve given in to Last.fm, as I found that it was easy to add a widget to scrobble tracks I’ve listened to on iTunes or via Last.fm (it’s not working for the internet radio stations I listen to on Winamp). So far, I’ve listened to random things, and something I created called “The Muppets Radio.” It’s made for some interesting audio moments, which eventually led to Monty Python and something wacky called Moxy Fruvious. It’s high time I opened up to new music… I’m hoping it’ll help me dare to be a bit more productive and creative around here. If…

This time of year puts me in a very anti-shopping, anti-fake garland kind of mood. No, I will not buy a plastic wreath for my car. #fb # I do hope everyone traveling for the holidays gets home, wherever that is. I plan to spend Black Thursday #notshopping # RT @jianghomeshi "Kate Bush joins me for a rare interview. Full first hour. Today. Q." need to pass this along!! # Ah. #NCIS has Robert Wagner on. Sad memories. # Can I watch the debate on the iPad just to keep up with the merry japes here? Maybe. But still watching…

We’re still humming the theme song… but there are some new surprises and twists, so it was NOT predictable other than a big damn happy ending. Which made me tear up, as I was a big Muppet Show fan back in the day. When it was announced on Tuesday that US TV broadcaster NBC has commissioned a script for a new series of the Muppets, the reaction among critics, commentators and tweeters was, frankly, remarkable. It is rare that a four-decades old franchise can announce a return to TV and prompt such unabashed enthusiasm as well as a total lack…

I’ve resolved to blog more often, play around with the blog design, and all that. I’ve been a little too focused on getting things squared away on the church Facebook page and a little too unfocused on… pretty much everything else going on around here, including blogging. Part of that is, yes, it’s hard to blog on the iPhone from work. I’ll just be getting over that hump however I can in future. Meanwhile, some funny sad, funny ha-ha, and funny weird things, all having to do with right-wing ideology, Paul Krugman, rock-and-roll, and/or humor. New York Times columnist Paul…

Our niece Melissa is coming over for a few hours; we’ll hang out with Rileycat and then head off to see the new Muppet movie, and after that we’ll all go down to see her grandparents and have dinner. She’ll stay with them tonight. It’s a social whirlwind when she comes to town – she lives pretty quietly down in Southern Illinois, so we try to pack a lot of “family time” into her occasional visits up here for holidays. Thanksgiving was a nice time… David’s Aunt Norma did a lovely job as always, hosting 42 (!) people at 4…

I received a call at work from a Renton WA number, and immediatly after got a spam text message. When I called the Renton number back, it was a voicemail saying “Welcome to the Do Not Call database. If you would like to be added to the database, enter your 10-digit phone number.” Note, no “Federal,” no mention of a US governmental entity. So I assume that it was actually an opt-in database for phone spammers, based on a bit of Googling around as seen below. One commenter remarked that it’s probably “out of country” spammers using some kind of…

No wait… This is my Shared Items page, at least. I posted about it before; just realized the “Liked/Starred” items link was tied to the user login. Link: Google Reader – GinnyRED57’s shared items

Be sure to check back to see if/how this develops. This post shall serve as collection station; a trash bucket for the uniformed, poorly-sourced or offensively-stupid comments of angry right-wingers, bigots, racists, misogynists or anonymous trolls. This collection shall become a compost heap of sorts where these comments, as designated by OneUtah authors, will over time, fester, boil and decay until finally merging into a steaming pile of something that smells a lot like the abject suffering, socioeconomic injustice and murder of the innocent wrought upon us by blind obedience to the evil masters, politicians, pundits, corporations, false prophets, demagogues…
