Things that need to come back into style:

1. Hats. God damn, if hats were in style and it was acceptable for a woman to wear them indoors, I wouldn’t ever have to waste time trying to tame my mane again. That would rock. I love hats. I would wear them all the time if it was acceptable. I’m thinking about starting a trend and wearing them even though they aren’t cool. Around here the only people who wear hats are old black women going to church on Sundays.
2. Sitting around in real coffee shops (i.e. not Starbucks) listening to beat poetry and slinging back espresso.
3. Plain Vodka Martinis. No, I do not want an “Apple-tini” or anything else that isn’t the color of water. If it can’t be eaten with an olive, fuck it.
4. Badminton. Yes, I want to whack the shuttle cock on a Saturday afternoon.
5. Ballroom dancing. I want to be able to go to a club and touch someone when I dance. And by touch I don’t mean grind my pelvis into their ass. I want to go out and tango or jitterbug or lindy or ramba.
6. Tea time. Everything should stop at 3:30 and we should get a breather to sit around, chat, drink tea and eat a bit of a snack. It’s rejuvenating. Seriously.

Things that should go away forever:

1. Reality TV. This includes American Idol, So You Think You Can Dance and all other shows that are basically Star Search with neon lights and less baton twirling.
2. Ruffles and frills. I hate ruffles and I don’t want to wear them, ever. Everything seems to have ruffles. Fuck that pseudo-gothic 18th century thing.
3. Over-educated, post-graduate, under-employed blues.
4. The “New” INXS and other bands that try to get new front men suck. Just get a new guy and rename your band you asshats. Institute and Audioslave seem to be doing just fine with it.

I like bagels. A lot. Bagels fucking rock.

I don’t have a bagel right now, but I wish I did. That would rock.

You know what else rocks?

Me. I fucking rock.

I rock Sunday Nights on Mango Radio. I had a show yesterday. It was… well, I had a show yesterday.

You can find it on podshow. I hate podshow, but I am trying to get more listeners, to do so I have to branch out into a place where my show is searchable. Thus, podshow. I like podshow more than pod-o-matic as pod-o-matic doesn’t even let me upload a show. Fuckers.

Here are some linky links:

It is neither fun, nor exciting, but I still rock. I talk about holograms in my last show. I talk about holograms poorly quite frankly. When talking about holograms you really need pictures. Podcasts fail to have pictures and I won’t be caught dead in a video-cast. Anyway, I explain how to make a hologram with a laser pointer. Mmmm… laser diode. Laser diodes aren’t as awesome as transistor lasers, but they are still neat.
