Music + Dating = ???

Some people think that the music you listen to says something about your dating style.

I’ve reviewed the two lists of musicians and of them, I have at least once song from the following artists on my computer/phone:

Beastie Boys
The Ramones
My Chemical Romance
Talking Heads
Stevie Wonder
R.E.M.
No Doubt
Nirvana
The Strokes
The White Stripes
The Clash
The Cure
Beyonce
Britney Spears
Eminem
The Beatles
Queen
Oasis
Daft Punk
Bob Seger
Billy Joel
Green Day
Weezer
U2
Sinatra
Madonna
Lady Gaga

What about you? Who do you have on the list(s)? Do you agree with the dating styles?

I…have a hard time arguing with most of them.

Odds and Ends

Just a few links I’ve come across lately that I meant to post and haven’t.

Best Owl Ever! Seriously, I think this owl just beat out Hedwig as my favorite owl.

Yes, I have such things as a favorite owl.

When even someone in Wall Street is saying “the system is ‘fuck the poor’”, it might be time to take a look at how we are managing our finances as a country.

I’ve been spending a lot of time cracking out on Tumblr lately, and one of the things I’ve come across is the We Are the 99 Percent blog. Some of the pictures make me want to roll my eyes and some make me sad to realize what so many people in our country are coming up against and the realization that I’m perhaps a bad day or two away from joining them.

I’m including this link about spiders for my mom.

I went to go visit her tonight and she just had to point out the spider that was dangling from my car. Rude. Better than my most memorable spider experience at her home, which resulted in my jumping out of the shower with shampoo in my hair because I realized that the dark spot on the shower floor was a spider and not my washrag.

What? I’m blind.

I have learned my lesson and Never! Ever! get into the shower without checking it for spiders anymore. 15 years later and I STILL make a shower spider check before hopping in.

To reward you for making it this far, I give you Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles at Torontocon. I want to pet Jared’s hair, for it is glorious in the pictures I’ve seen from this con. I have other plans for what I’d like to do to Jensen…

David Tennant

It may have come to your attention that I am a fan of David Tennant. he was a wonderful Doctor and has even replaced Tom Baker as many people’s favorite ever Doctor.

In fact, some people wish that Matt Smith would go away and we’d get David Tennant back.

Truly, I enjoy Matt Smith and find his Doctor to be quite entertaining.

That said, I wouldn’t object if we got David Tennant back as the Doctor someday…but playing a different Doctor. If he comes back, I want his new Doctor to have a different personality altogether.

New attitudes, new clothing, new catchphrases…because that’s what the Doctor is, to me. He’s always a new old man who is compelled to travel around time and space and fix things.

Ghost Story

Have you read Ghost Story yet? If not, what’s wrong with you?

Went to Unity on the Plaza with Pam on Tuesday for a Q&A with Jim Butcher and to have him sign our books.

His short hair was unexpected, because I’m used to the crazy ass long hair he’s had on his previous book covers.

He was very funny, very geeky and says um a lot. He was nice enough to pose with us while signing our books.

Geeky Dilemma

Aaron calls my evening a nerd’s Sophie’s choice and he’s not far off.

I’m going to a book signing by Jim Butcher tonight with my friend Pam. He is the writer of the Dresden Files books, which are insanely addictive.

Yesterday, I got an email saying I’d won tickets to see Cowboys and Aliens, which I have wanted to see ever since I heard it existed.

Cowboys! Aliens! What’s not to love?

And so came the choice…which to do?

Decided on Jim Butcher because he does signings far less often than Cowboys and Aliens will be shown in theaters.

Sent Aaron the email about the show in the hopes that he’ll be able to get in. If so, he’s buying me a ticket to an evening show next week.

This isn’t even the nerdiest decision I’ve had to make this year.

500

According to wordpress.com, this is my 500th post.

So hi.

I hope you weren’t hoping for a prize or a picture of ponies or something.
