bailey is america’s next top model

Friday, November 30th, 2007

We went to Mer’s studio today, where Bailey was a model for the day. She did well, even though when it was time for the shoot, she all of a sudden shed her crazy Bailey persona for another one.. shy, scared Bailey.. But, after some treats, she was more like cute, confused Bailey, which I guess works too.

good potential band names

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

Hmmm.. not that Mongolian Candidate needs a new name, but since we haven’t played together in like a year, maybe, just maybe I’ll join up with a new band someday.

And if I do, maybe it will be named:

Astronaut Cowboy
Donkeytail Spurge
Rhymes With Desk
Black Squirrel
Burping Otter
The Melikes
Surely Shirley
Benadryl Bailey
Lazy Jane

Any other good names? (thanks stepha for a lot of these)

xmas mix 2007.. sans download…

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

Woohoo!

So, my buddy Brian has created this awesome podcasting solution (that anyone who is audio or video podcasting should definitely check out…)

Anyway, I’m giving it a try for my holiday mix…. This way, you don’t have to download all of the tracks, and you can listen right through your browser! Castfire rocks.. I’m gonna start making more shows, methinks.

Thanks Brian!!

Enjoy!!

happy yangsgiving! and, happy holidays!

two desks, halfway around the world

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

Pius is halfway around the world right now (in Kathmandu)… yet, we both are nerdy enough to take pictures of our desks and annotate them. So far away… yet so close.

music to fall asleep to, post thanksgiving day turkey…

Monday, November 19th, 2007

The days are rapidly getting shorter. Even here in SF, the fall air is crisp and nips at your nose… Last night, a bunch of us got together and had our traditional “pre-thanksgiving dinner” at Kim’s house, and it was sooo tasty.

So, in honor of my favorite eating holiday, I’ve created a little playlist for your enjoyment whilst lying on the couch in a turkey daze..


SeeqPod Music beta – Playable Search

So, curl up on the couch, snuggle up and enjoy.

Thanks Marcy for the inspiration for this post.
