August 2011
I've essentially been away from work for 2 weeks.
And I really don’t want to go back.

jeromewasntbuiltinaday:
When a nation’s politicians (*cough* Ron Paul *cough*) derive their economic policies from a pseudo-intellectual fiction book, I think it’s safe to assume we have a problem.
Capitalism is failing, the evidence is present; but I guess Randians are too lazy to pick up a book with real economic equations and empirical evidence (*cough* Capital by Karl Marx *cough* ),...

That is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.
To be able to do that I would need to pay $109 to upgrade to PrintMusic.
Which I will not do, because I don’t ever use notation software! I need it for this week, and that’s it!
I hate everything.
All I want to do is go from 3/4 to 4/4.

Using Finale for the first time in 3 years.

scottmcrissman:
It’s kind of annoying.
But there was a free trial of NotePad. I’ll survive.
You’re a Sibelius guy?
I don’t really have much cause to use notation software at all. I am definitely not a composer. I learned Finale in my Music Tech class my sophomore year and haven’t used it since.
But pretty much everyone I know who does compose, arrange,...

shecallsmeartemis:
Why wouldn’t a prospective employer have the right to employ the person they deem as the very best for their team? Oh, you want THEM to sacrifice quality for the sake of some arbitrary definition of “equal opportunity?”
There is nothing equal in the sense that someone is hired based on their age/sex/nationality/personal beliefs/culture over someone who is hired based on...

How is it that I can be an intellectual Christian and not feel the need to shove it down peoples throats or call people stupid and closed minded for not believing what I believe. I can pull scientific data all day long from molecular biologist to support creationism. But I don’t bother to get into the arguments because I respect other peoples opinions. You can believe...

Don't get me wrong, I love Harry Potter.
But I’m just really lazy and I’m probably not really going to exert much effort with this Pottermore business.
Maybe the next time I’m sitting in Starbucks or Panera and have run out of things to look at on Tumblr.

We need a debt ceiling that Congress actually has to hold itself to.

There's still you, there's still me.
“…I keep wishing I could think of a way to… to show the Capitol they don’t own me. That I’m more than just a piece in their Games,” says Peeta. “But you’re not,” I say. “None of us are. That’s how the Games work.” “Okay, but within that framework, there’s still you, there’s still me,” he insists....

At some point between now and… who knows when… I must have knocked an at least partially full and open bottle of water off my bedside table.
Into the gift bag with the books I got for my birthday, since I obviously haven’t put them away yet.
So I just reordered The Romantic Manifesto and Ayn Rand & the World She Made. And I’m going to pretend like this never happened...

Scott: I found a goldfish in my bed earlier
Scott: and I haven't eaten goldfish in weeks.
Me: there is a jar a peanut butter jammed between my mattress and the wall.
Scott: HAHAHAHAHA
Scott: oh god.
Scott: no one will ever love us.
Me: Hahahahaa
Me: ever.

Apple now has more cash than the U.S. government.
via CNN Tech
Unlike the U.S. government, which is scrambling to avoid defaulting on its debt, Apple takes in more money than it spends.
Imagine that.
“We don’t let the cash burn a hole in the pocket or make stupid acquisitions,” CEO Jobs said last fall. “We’d like to continue to keep our powder dry because we think there are one or more strategic opportunities...

I have mixed feelings about this. In my head, it would be a really great opportunity to do something like Daft Punk did with TRON: Legacy or The Chemical Brothers did with Hanna. Radiohead would be cool (or just Thom Yorker or just Jonny Greenwood), too.
Danny Elfman does cool stuff, but I really have trouble seeing it with anything other than a Tim Burton movie, and it all kind of sounds the...

Those Suzanne Collins books are pretty good?
I kind of feel like I did reading Harry Potter for the first time. I’m tearing through them and having a lot of trouble putting them down.

I think it’s cute that you think you’re going to read any of those other books before you read Mockingjay.
I know. I’ll probably read Mockingjay as soon as I finish Catching Fire. But it still belongs on the “to-read” list, right?

Celebrities shouldn't be allowed to die.
When they do, they infiltrate every corner of Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr, and I find it annoying.

Reasons to Hate Chesapeake, No. 2
The Starbucks near my house is only open til 9pm.
What use is that to anyone? Sometimes I don’t even wake up til 1pm.
