      The opposition’s in their road grays, and apparently hovering fogbanks are a standard accessory.

      I’m pretty sure we’re playing the Washington General Chickens. I would assume that means an easy victory, but you never know in baseball.

        Truly. I’m kind of getting over my mom stint. She’s feeling so sorry for herself, and she’s using it to get over on us.

        My best friend’s mom broke her hip in several places, then got a blood infection. She almost died. Now she’s taking daily walks at Library Park. It’s hard to be sympathetic.

                My sister was just complaining to me about my dad today. He’s constantly complaining that he doesn’t feel good. He was sick a couple of weeks ago, but he’s better now. And if he feels like crap, it’s probably because he plunks down on the sofa every morning and then doesn’t move all damn day.

                • lynnzgal Feb 22,2012 8:23 pm || Up

          most of the problem i’m solving right now is about not being able to organize info, and not being able to analyze a problem. so what they thought was a design flaw, as i’m redesigning, turns out it’s a info hierarchy issue. and sure, all complicated by flakiness.

          and no, i’m not saying all stoners can’t organize data. after all, i figured this out one myself…

    Another group of collected thoughts:

    1. Why would OK Cupid give you an option in similar people for those who “desires less sex”? I mean seriously who would ever say man this girl is really perfect but I wish she wanted to bang less? Anyone? Ever?

    2. More hipster should be a sidebar option.

    3. Yesterday I went to Local Butcher in Berkeley and spent 73 dollars on meat. Sslinger, you are bankrupting me one Bar Tartine and butcher shop recommendation at a time!

    4. Their way of going about selling meat I think does the opposite of what they want. They sell by third of the animal, which would make sense, except then short ribs are the same price as a ribeye. It makes the ribeye more affordable and doesn’t encourage me to eat the ofal. The steak I got was quite good tho.

    5. I melted my bag of brown sugar on the stove top because I preheated my oven. Now I have plastic/carmel mess, lame.

    6. New girl fantastic dialog about awesome books “And then you have the Phantom T” “I love the Phantom Tollbooth” “Of course you do, you’re human.”

    7. Gonna make me some pork belly tonight with butternut squash.

    8. Im really ready for my new job to start.

      1. me, back when I was “straight.” I was attracted to women but confused about my gender identity and mostly impotent due to sexual/social anxieties. A relationship with lots of interaction and cuddling with less fucking was ideal for me back then.

      7. I used to enjoy growing butternut squashes in my backyard until we got water meters installed. Gardening isn’t even a break-even enterprise if you have to pay market rates for the water.

    So, online late doing Dad’s tax return. He gets about $100 back, which won’t cover the $1000 he says he needs to fix his car, or cover what he will need to get a new appt since he is moving to avoid getting evicted next week. And he hasn’t started looking for this imaginary new place that will let him move in with no deposit and first month free or very low, and I am sure he hasn’t packed anything. But he said don’t worry because the druggy ex cons he has moved in with him will help him move all of his stuff.

    All this to say that I think Turbo Tax has way too many questions that are obviously not important given the info you have already put into the return…

    • colin Feb 23,2012 6:50 am || Up

      I think that the whole style of tax return software where it asks you a bunch of questions and then fills out your return is a bad design. You always end up with a bunch of ambiguous or vague questions. By the time you figure out what the correct answer is, you probably know enough to just fill out the relevant form manually. I guess if people really can’t do the arithmetic or something…

      • 5Aces Feb 23,2012 7:45 am || Up

        And I think a lot of it is asking to make sure they CTA for the .1% who have a very strange situation or also to give them opportunities to pitch buying the program. But this stuff scares the heck out of people. I have done returns for a couple of people for years. They are close family so it isn’t a business or anything, but they will usually buy me lunch or something after. What amazes me is how scared they are of doing it. I have told them if you can read and answer questions you could do it yourself but they dont want to go anywhere near it.

    Ok, I think I am heading off line in a couple, but a discussion from earlier today and my current spare time project of cleaning up the music collection has me wanting thoughts..

    My collection is all over the place in styles. But I enjoy that. I have everything on my iPod, or in my google music library. I don’t have any playlists unless they were for something else (list for a party, etc). I like that I will be listening and will go from Prince to Metallica to Les Miz.

    Mrs. Aces only puts a limited # of tracks on her devices and usually has everything into playlists. So she will be listening to all hip-hop today, all rock the next time. She thinks I’m crazy and laughs at me ending up having a Disney song next to NWA in the car. I laugh that she-a total impulsive and anything goes dame-wants/needs that order in her listening.

    So what say you? lots of playlists and organization, or more random and every darn sound from your computer in the audio library?

    • DFA Feb 22,2012 10:02 pm || Up

      I get stuck and burn stuff out and then don’t listen to it for years. then I get stuck again.

      • colin Feb 23,2012 6:56 am || Up

        I go into super heavy rotation mode too.

        I don’t use playlists very often, but I almost always listen to a full album at a time. I have very few individual tracks in my digital music collection, because they rub my compulsions towards completeness/order the wrong way. So the end result is that I do listen to blocks of thematically coherent music.

        • SPWC (Gaijin_Suketto) Feb 23,2012 7:23 am || Up

          Hmm…

          I aggressively delete album tracks that I don’t rate at least a 7 or better.

          IMO, there are at most a couple of hundred albums in the entire history of pop/rock that are good enough to listen to from beginning to end. Even most masterpiece albums have a clunker or two to skip.

          • colin Feb 23,2012 7:41 am || Up

            One thing that I find very often is that my favorite tracks on an album will shift as I listen to it more often. So a song that doesn’t stand out on the first or tenth listen might by my favorite on the fifteenth time through. Plus there is the completeness compulsion that I mentioned above. One album that I was forced to overcome it for is “The Oak and the Ashes” by Amps for Christ, which is mostly awesome folk-noise but has like six laughably bad spoken word tracks interspersed throughout the album.

            • SPWC (Gaijin_Suketto) Feb 23,2012 10:44 am || Up

              Favorites do shift, but I know the difference between something that doesn’t currently move me and something that’s poorly constructed in the first place.

            Also, I never use the track rating feature in my mp3 player.

            • SPWC (Gaijin_Suketto) Feb 23,2012 8:33 am || Up

              I wish I could more meticulously rate my tracks.

              An old friend of mine re-mixes the track listing of almost every album he gets, because he’s never satisfied with the artist’s sequencing and hates mood jumping from sad to happy to sad (Tom Waits… I’m looking at you!)

    • AV Feb 23,2012 10:11 am || Up

      i’m with you on random. mostly. all of my itunes is in one smart playlist where the only parameter is that it won’t play a song that has been played within the last x months. (right now it’s at 14 months, because i’m trying to hear everything once. i pile a lot of stuff into my itunes, from all kinds of sources and way different genres just like you. so playlist this serves two purposes: never get bored, and any song i don’t like i delete right away and i know i’ll run across it before i start hearing other songs for the 2nd, 3rd, etc. time.)

      now my records, i have them sorted by genre, and within each genre all the same-band records are grouped together, but they are not alphabetized. this helps me when i’m in a mood for something. like if i’m being all gloomy, i just go to my darkwave box and will be inspired to keep playing records when, say, i’m looking at bauhaus and right next to it is the southern death cult or clan of the xymox something not quite as obvious to remember. if i didn’t sort by genres, next to bauhaus would probably be band of gypsies or something and that wouldn’t really work for home listening. (i have no problem finding my records. i have a nearly photographic memory of where they are and what color the spine is. the only problem is when someone else puts a record away for me, and then yeah, it’s lost for a while until it accidentally resurfaces while i’m looking for something else, like one of those victims of an avalanche that pop out 70 years later when the glacier goes through its full cycle.)

    • PDXAthleticsfan Feb 23,2012 11:33 am || Up

      There’s a bit of genre-separating, but only a few categories – classical gets separated, because listening to classical on random doesn’t work with a multi-track symphony. I have a handful of jazz/blues tunes separate for when I’m In The Mood. And kids music is separate so that I can have it when I need to entertain the spawn. Everything else is in a big collection that I put on random, and it’s all a work in progress.

      A soliloquy of fresh-sounding ideas which would probably be disastrous.
      • 5Aces Feb 23,2012 11:48 am || Up

        And I really want to get to this point I think. I want a spot for the kids stuff that i know they like and I can tolerate but wouldnt listen to on my own. Little Miss Aces went through the Hannah Montana phases-I wanted her to be able to listen to stuff, but inevitably I would be driving with the stereo blasting and We rock the preteen party (or whatever else her songs were called) would come on.

        • PDXAthleticsfan Feb 23,2012 11:54 am || Up

          Mrs. PDX separated the kid stuff out when we were first getting everything on the computer, so it made it easy.

          I have an inkling to do a separate running/workout list, so that I don’t end listening to Johnny Cash while running. As much as I love the guy, 50-60 beats per minute doesn’t work when pounding the pavement.

    I don’t think the radiation has turned my cat into some kind of super-feline, but she did something today that I’ve never seen a cat do; she picked up a can of diet Coke with her front paws, hugging it to her chest. Then she put it down, batted it with one paw, and picked it up again upside down, pouring the bit of diet Coke still inside on my windowsill. Then she lapped up the diet Coke.

            I’m using flushable litter for this quarantine period, because if I put it in the trash it would set off the alarms at the dump. I’ve never used flushable litter before, and I am amazed at how much less trash I had this week. Apparently about 15% of my weekly garbage was cat litter.

            • wacchampions Feb 23,2012 1:55 am || Up

              • Englishmajor Feb 23,2012 1:05 pm || Up

                The stuff I’m using is “World’s Best” brand, made from corn. The vets gave me a bag of it, but they have it at Safeway as well as pet stores. It’s not quite as fine as the sandy type, but it’s not in big pellets like the recycled newspaper I’d been using before. I put about three inches of it in the litter box, with a liner. Two or three times a day I sift through it with a thing like a very large slotted spoon and get out all the clumps, and flush them. They could be discarded in the trash, too, if it weren’t for the radioactivity.

                • colin Feb 23,2012 1:08 pm || Up

                  I use the same litter and flush it, even with non-radioactive poops.

                • Englishmajor Feb 23,2012 1:29 pm || Up

                  The state of California discourages flushing cat poop, because if your cat has the toxoplasmosis parasite (I think that’s the one they’re concerned about) the poop can end up being eaten by sea otters and infecting them. If you’re reasonably confident that your cat’s poop is not infested with anything other than the digested remnants of stinky cat food, no worries.

                  You might think cat shit is something that the California Legislature does not concern itself with…but you would be wrong!

                  SEC. 2. Section 4501 is added to the Fish and Game
                  Code, to read:
                  4501. (a) The Legislature finds and declares that several
                  types of nonpoint source pollution are harmful to sea
                  otters, and that scientific studies point to links between
                  cat feces, the pathogen T-gondii, and sea otter mortality.
                  The Legislature further finds and declares that efforts to
                  reduce the flushing of cat litter and cat feces are steps
                  toward better water quality in the sea otters’
                  natural habitat.
                  (b) Any cat litter offered for sale in this state shall contain
                  either of the following statements :
                  (1) “Encouraging your cat to use an indoor litter box, or
                  properly disposing of outdoor cat feces, is beneficial to
                  overall water quality. Please do not flush cat litter in
                  toilets or dispose of it outdoors in gutters or storm
                  drains.”
                  (2) A general statement that encourages the disposal of
                  cat feces in trash and discourages flushing cat feces in
                  toilets or drains.
                  NOTE – violation is a crime.

                  Toxoplasmosis is dangerous to humans too, not just sea mammals. There’s a Czech dude who’s been saying for 20 years that the parasite can latch onto humans and literally drive them crazy (c.f. Crazy Cat Lady archtype). His work is starting to be taken seriously by other researchers.

                  Huh:

                  Toxoplasmosis was the subject of a controversial story line in the early years of the American television soap opera “All My Children” (1973–1974) in which a then-teenage Erica Kane (Susan Lucci) developed a nearly fatal case of Toxoplasmosis after an abortion. It was later explained to have been caused by the changing of a cat litter box.

                  But fortunately for him, 30 to 40 percent of Czechs had the latent form of the disease, so plenty of students were available “to serve as very cheap experimental animals.”

        True story: I left my keys in the ignition of my car at LAX. the parking person told me to go to the police sub station. There, a uniformed officer heard my story and handed me a slim jim asking “have you used one of these before?”

        After a short demo, I was sent on my way. From the substation tomy car was a 5-10 minute walk. two different drivers of cars stopped me and asked if I needed help getting inot my car.
