Midway Miscellanea

I got Great Big Sea's "Fortune's Favour" (don't forget the obligatory Canadian 'u' in "favour") last week. I can't stop listening to it.

Most of the vocal music I favor could be termed "odd", at best and is often quite maudlin. There are some bands I like that are more upbeat, but they're uncommon. GBS is currently topping the list of more upbeat bands right now.

Favorite tracks from that album: "Here and Now", "Walk on the Moon", and "Love Me Tonight". They've made the transition to the insanity that is my MP3 player.

Perfectly timed music, in truth.

Stupid network won't let me log in to the parts I need at work. So what the hell am I supposed to do?

Irritating.

An observation while riding my bike in this morning: warming weather must be very nice for streetwalkers.

I crossed into Oakland and passed a woman who clearly was dressed for a specific profession. A week ago, I'd think she'd be worried about hypothermia. This morning, I expect she was just a bit chilly.

It's kind of a game to count the prostitutes on the way in these days. Most I've counted: six in five blocks.

Who the hell turns tricks at 5am? I expect I don't want to know the answer to that.

I'm ready for this week to be over and it's only Wednesday. Doesn't bode well for the rest of today, much less the next two days.
