Ginger sling with a pineapple heart
Jun. 12th, 2004 09:26 amSince Blogger seems to be down, this entry will be livejournal-only for the time being. Maybe I'll crosspost it later.
First of all, happy birthday to John Sidney Linnell, the bottom half of They Might Be Giants. I think he turns 45 today.
Speaking of TMBG, I managed to get that Clock Radio thing running yesterday, and it's pretty cool. I got to hear an interview that the band did, as well as a decent-quality version of their cover of "Savoy Truffle," which is pretty cool. By the way, I just recently found out that that song is about chocolates. Makes sense. Anyway, the Clock Radio does seem to have a bug, in that it would sometimes try to play more than one song at the same time. I seem to recall someone else mentioning that same problem.
I went to the driver's license center to get my picture retaken, and they said they couldn't do it. They'll only retake pictures in cases like disfiguring accidents and major weight loss. The one guy there told me people shouldn't give me trouble with my license photo, since it still looks like me aside from the hair. I agree with him, but at least two people have asked if it was really me. They both eventually decided it was, though, so I guess it's not a really serious problem. I do have to wonder why that rule is in place, though.
