Recently my girlfriend started making me lunches for work every day. Not being a normal part of my routine, I forgot the lunches about half the time which made her very angry. Much more angry than I thought was normal, but that's another discussion. This blog is all about my awesome method of food conveyance.

In an effort to make myself remember my lunches, I bought this fancypants lunchbox from Costco.  It's very stylish, with lots of nylon and velcro and bungie-type cording. it also came with a steel thermos but fuck that. We have a soda machine.

I am double blogging. Oh noes! I will be thumbed down. So feel free to thumb me down EXCEPT....I will not know about it.

Just wanted to explain my previous blog, in case it was confusing. Blog ratings are no longer visible and I was bitching about it. If you don't like my bitching feel free to thumb me down, because it will be hurtful to me in a karmic sense. But not a  psychological one because I will not know.

So officially we can't handle negative feedback. Well done! No I am not the 'thumbs down' fairy but I did use it to indicate blogs I liked or didn't like.  Next we can all jump rope without rope, because we don't want anyone to feel sad if they can't really jump rope.  I would say I'm going to stop blogging for a while as a protest but I don't think that would have the desired effect.

Holy shit! It looks like the Kindle 2 is out. I have to get my hands on one of these things and try it out. I wasn't too into the Kindle 1, you know the whole 'new technology always sucks' thing. But now, once the price comes down from 'astronomical' into 'high orbit' range, I may look into getting one of these.

I thought a couple people around here had the Kindle--any comments on this damn thing that's going to change the world forever?

So I am going to tell you something. you don't really care, but I am going to tell you anyway. I was a band geek back in the school days.  I also have a fairly good memory--not photographic by any means, but I can remember some really weird and precise shit. As a result, I have most of the music from 'Music Man' committed to memory. My senior year I played clarinet, bass clarinet and saxophone in the pit for that musical. I don't remember how many rehearsals and shows we had but it was enough to sear pretty much every lyric in the show into my head.
