Mmm-mmm, good!

Sorry, no pic available, but a quick product endorsement, here: Trader Joe's Horseradish Hummus. Man, oh man. Why has no-one ever thought of that before? It's like a Seder in my mouth!

Laborless Day

Apologies for the spotty posting schedule this week - work and other related worky things took a lot of my time and energy and goodwill. Curiously, to counter the bad vibe I got from work-work this week, I took on some more work to calm me down and cheer me up... namely, the promotional site for Kalliope that I mentioned earlier. Anyhow, now it's done and live, so go over there and witness the magic that is Flash (as well as the neat stuff that is her writing and drawing, which is the whole point of the site in the first place).

Please tell me if there are any glitches that pop up on a computer that isn't a Macintosh, which is all I currently have in the house. That's right: I'm putting you to work. Suckers.

Anyway, have a good rest of your three day weekend. If I have the time or inclination, I'll see if I can get a new Weekend Listening up. In the meantime, in honor of this particular Holiday, I recommend checking out the first installment of a new comic adaptation of Studs Terkel's Working, over at Walrus Comix, also neat.

Feeeeeeeel the stress

Ugh - tough and anxious couple of days with work. Apologies, but it put me in a mood not conducive to Rambling, or interacting with he universe in any way other than quiet fuming.

Want. Need. Now.

From Rolling Stone online:

"Five Genesis albums from their Peter Gabriel era are being re-released in a 7-CD/6 DVD box set on November 11th with 5.1 DTS sound and hours of unreleased material. Their landmark 1974/75 “Lamb Lies Down On Broadway” world tour was never filmed, but this collection does have a complete performance from Belgian TV in 1972 and their appearance on Midnight Special in 1973..."

Won't you all kindly save up your money and send a copy to your old pal, Dave, in return for providing you with a daily dose of Rambler? Or, if you hate the Rambler - agree to buy me a copy, and I'll go away.

Flash! Ahhh-ahhh!

In the process of putting together a quick and 'simple' site in Flash for Kalliope, to help her promote her work and upcoming appearance at the Baltimore Comicon. I usually don't hop-to to do free web-work - hell, I usually drag my ass when I do paid web-work, but I bear a good part of the weight of her decision to attend, and seeing as how she's putting all of her money into the table fee and the cost of printing her comic, the least I could do (the very least) was put together a little web brochure for it.

I should be done later tonight. And by done, I mean, 'totally fried.' Man, Flash gives you them great results, but each page finished takes a chunk outta your soul...

BTW: Thanks, all, for attending the party at Beadboard Manor on Saturday. You'll be pleased to know that I've fixed the doorknob...
