MPR debuts a new station today: 89.3, the Current... another choice in alternative radio stations here in the twin cities.
though I'm only 31 minutes into the new station, it is decidedly wonderful, and I don't know anyone who is going to object to listening to some of today's finest artists without the unwelcome interruption of Corporate America.

(you can also tune in to streaming audio on your pc ... check out 89.3 the current on http://minnesota.publicradio.org/)

If you do not already, tune your radio/PC to the goodness, write a check to MPR, and enjoy one of life's most delicious little pleasures.

Barbara and Nathan's Squirrel

(Quoting Nathan Nordlund. Basically, this was the funniest thing I've read so far this year.)

our squirrel is a bastard, though. he energetically removes the insulation from the space in the roof where the insulation goes, making our bedroom cold, and then tirelessly scratches on the thin membrane of cracking plaster that we call our bedroom ceiling. and then, if his wanting to be warm when it's freezing out isn't obnoxious enough, he goes on and eats the poisoned peanut butter and dies in a remote location of the rafters. The odor, however, is not so remote. Then, because there is a hole in our apartment roof that our landlord will not fix, his bastard friend finds his way into our ceiling and picks up where bastard #1 left off.*

* this whole story is actually an allegory for me (the squirrel) wanting to live within the comforts of the indoors and destroying resources and creating inconveniences for others. All of it is true, except the poisoning part. let this be a lesson to everyone.

Microsoft Moment # 0546857

so, I'm sitting here, doing edits today. I'm editing a document called
"peer today, boss tomorrow" (not my title, so refrain from snickering)...
anyway, you know how Windows abbreviates everything? So, yah. When I go between documents and have to look for this document I'm editing, I keep getting thrown off.
Do you think it's because, instead of saying "peer today" or something reasonable, it's because the document name is abbreviated, "pee" ... ???
