Some people are cool

I should have written this.

Fillmore

I found true assuagement from the banality of music that I've been hearing recently. I saw The Cult last night at the Fillmore and they are truly awesome. It was perhaps the finest rock show I have ever seen, and I've see some shit. First, the Fillmore is quite the venue; you walk in and the band is there, right in front of you, you can clearly see the performers faces, the sweat, the grimaces when a beat or lick goes awry. The Cult are gods of rock. They are the band I would make if I could make such things. Right from the opening, with that fat white Gibson hollow body wailing, the entire drum kit shaking in rhythm, and the singer letting loose, I knew it was my kind of show. My ears are still ringing a day later.

So you know...

Bill Clinton is the man.

Update

I don't know what to write, but I want to write none the less. I find it ironic that I'm writing a wireless Palm Pilot application (a proof of concept) now that I've left engineering. Granted it's a low priority, do it when I have time kind of deal, but it's much cooler then anything I've done in engineering in the last 3 years. I also find it funny how I can tell people the same things I've always told them, but now that I'm a "Product Manager" (pronounced in an echoing, booming voice), they don't ignore me, they listen like I'm Christ reborn. Blows that theory about being a leader before you have the title. You seem to need a title to get attention.

In random news, after three years of searching and aborted efforts, the new sofas finally arrived this morning. No, there's nothing special about them, other then the perverse difficulty, for no known reason, in obtaining them.

I was talking with my boss when his wife called and he put on speaker. I don't know if the English have a brogue, but he and his wife did. "Talk to later sexy" was perhaps my favorite part. That and he uses the word "fuck" with such frequency that I was instantly endeared to him.

Regarding tomorrow's party, it seems we have over thirty positives. It should be interesting.

Not a Good Sign

I decided to stop drinking Diet Pepsi at 6:30 am. I abandoned this plan at 11:30 am the same day.

Now that I'm in marketing, a person stopped me in the hall and said "Aren't you supposed to dress better now that you're in marketing?" I said "This is my good outfit."
