If what I’ve heard is true, these two bunnies will soon be 200 bunnies.
Is that true?

Stratie
I have one song recorded that includes Fender guitars exclusively. A first. I also just recorded the use of a whammy bar for the first time. What a strange world we live in.
They Are Dead to Me
Had they come out and played well last night (and Monday night) and lost I would feel better. No. The Bruins played like cow shit for the first half of last night’s game and never had a chance. The score was never out of hand, but they were never close.
It was not a choke on par with the 2010 3-0 lead. It was not a choke on par with losing game six of the Cup finals last year. It was, however, a monumental suck of a choke.
The hell with them. They’re dead to me.
It’s baseball season.
Go Red Sox.
The End is Here
Two minutes left in the third period. The Bruins are down by two. I may never watch another game.
This sucks.
Hate/Love
I hate the Montreal Canadiens. I hate when the Bruins play like dung in a game seven.
I love a baseball field, and I love a sunset.
Evernote and Other Appy, Nerdy Stuff
A couple of days ago, my wife suggested I use Evernote. I had installed the app on my phone before, but never really used it. I thought it would be cool for grocery shopping lists, but I can’t get any cell signal at the grocery store. Now that I’m a supervisor at work though I find that requests get thrown at me so fast that it s really easy to lose track of them. Gmail helps a ton, what with labels and starring and such, but I am afraid I am going to miss something.
Yesterday morning when I logged into work I brought up Evernote and entered a couple of ideas for additions to the group web page. I had a meeting at 10:00am so I also made note of a couple of emails I wouldn’t have time to get to right away. When I got back to my desk I had Gmail open in one window and Evernote open in another. Between the two sites and questions coming to me in person, over the phone, and via Hangouts, I was able to get to all of the higher priority stuff and not lose track of the lower end things.
It seemed to work nicely yesterday, and so far today it’s the same thing. I had heard that Google had an Evernote of their own coming. I think it’s available. My company is all about Google these days (Gmail! WOOHOO!) so maybe I should use that for bandwagon’s sake. A quick Google search tells me it’s called Keep. Maybe I’ll check it out.
As for WordPress.com, I mentioned that I was trying to set up categories. Wouldn’t you know it, I screwed up the tag to category transfer and now every post I have (all 6,300 or so) have the tag “uncategorized”. So I have begun the slow and painful process of updating each post to include a category and to remove the uncategorized tag. Happy Days. This project will probably run out of gas quickly. We’ll see.
Is Tonight the Night?
So is tonight the night?
Is tonight the night that the curse of the President’s Trophy takes the Bruins out of the playoffs?
Is tonight the night that the team universally favored to win the Eastern Conference gets eliminated by their arch rival after previously holding a 3-2 lead in the series?
After Monday night’s suck fest, my heart and my head are in agreement. I have to say that yes it is.
If the game five Bruins show up tonight they will have a chance. If the game six Bruins show up, it’s time to start booking tee-times.
I don’t want Bruins hockey to end, but after Monday it would almost feel merciful if it ends tonight.
A Song at Bedtime
I mixed a song tonight. A little gift to the universe (gift?) before hitting the sack for the night.
I was listening to the two Jack Bruce/Robin Trower records from 1981. I was sort of digging the whole aging-white-guys-making-a-show-of-being-funky vibe and decided to steal it. The result is this cheese ball of a 12-bar.
In GarageBand terms, I have been trying to keep the different projects kind of similar in that each month is using the same bass sound and drum sound (mostly, as March is using the Drummer function on 9 of the 10 songs). As I was mixing this one though I suddenly felt really, really bored with the sounds I’d picked for April. I switched the muted bass to an upright bass (which I used across the board back in November) and went for a little more of a smaller, more vintage drum sound. The results, again, aren’t that great. I don’t care.
The lyrics are another @floridaman story. This time the drunken fool made death threats to the arresting officers before sobering up a little and changing his tune to bribery in terms of offers to pressure wash their houses. Really. Check out @floridaman. You cannot make this shit up.
Categories vs Tags
WordPress.com lets you put tags on your posts. I pretty much tag everything. I never did on Blogger, so almost everything that was imported from the old blog will be tag free.
When I imported the Blogger stuff it took the few tags I used (cancer being the important one as I tagged the posts relating to my mother’s illness) and made them categories. I didn’t want to break down my posts into distinct categories, so up until now I haven’t made any use of them.
Today though, I found a function in the Tools menu that lets you convert tags to categories and vice versa. I gave it a shot.
This is the first ever post entered directly into the iphoneography category. I can see how blown away you are. The conversion routine said it would keep my old tags. I really hope that’s the case.
Anyway… Here is Patches getting her belly pet.
Mickey
I haven’t posted a random Flickr pic in quite a while.
One of my friends is taking his family to Disney World this summer. He told me today that his four year old son asked him if Mickey Mouse was real or not. Suddenly, out of no where, he found himself faced with what is essentially the Santa question, only about 5-7 years too early.
Look at the picture. Mickey looks pretty real to me. hehe
