I'm thinking Jon Favreau would guest star as Rod Blagojevich, and it would be one of those what-has-happened-to-professional-politics-in-general-and-the-Democratic-party-in-particular episodes.

I've taken to sleeping on my couch (which is almost a foot shorter than me) the last few nights. For some reason, I feel better rested and am rising easier. Weird.

The awesomely purple suit on the awesome Kevin McDonald lookalike with that awesome mustache and that awesomely hilarious expression on his face.

It's so awesome.

I had to ask my friend the same thing. The answer is yes. Then I looked at it again and it hit me. So awesome.

It's like one of those stare-and-see posters. The longer you look at that guy, the funnier he becomes.

Those things are a massive conspiracy. There is no image there.

They're like those so-called "ultrasound" "pictures".

Anybody want to sign my petition to have "California Pizza Kitchen" change their name to something more appetizing, like "A Pile of Shit on Flatbread," or even, "Get Your Teeth Pulled Here"?

'Cuz, let's be straight here, saying that you're making pizza like they do in California is like saying you stick your dick into a blender. Anybody who's actually tried it knows that it's just not a good thing.

The pizza here isn't all bad. Although one of my friends calls them 'zas, and that makes me want to kill him many times over.

Mammalucco's in Fullerton, CA tells you f*ck off. It's as good as any of the pizza I've had in New York. Of course, it's owned by Italians originally from New York and all their ingredients are shipped from, but still, it's not impossible to find great pizza out here. Of course, now I live closer to LA and good pizza is scarce, but I still go there almost every time I visit my Orange Co. friends.

People who say 'zas can shampoo my crotch.

And Davis, my musician friend hooked me up with a full version of Reason and this little diddy:

Of course, I'm not, you know, a musician, but it's insanely fun just to play around and create beats, ambient textures, etc. It's quickly becoming an addictive hobby.

Pizza here in Chicago is plain awful. Years ago it was pretty good and so we got a good reputation for a while but everyone and their dog jumped on the pizza making bandwagon and now it's all crap. The main problem is that they put way way way too much oil on it so that the condiments float around like garbage in the Pacific. As for stuffed pizza, they hardly ever fully cook the dough and again they use so much oil that the dough is saturated with it. I was on Cape Cod earlier this summer and they had I guess what's called New York style pizza and it was all kinds of goodness.

Hence the 'micro' part of the 'Micron' name.

;)

These smaller keyboards are becoming more popular for DAWs. And like B said, it has MIDI, so I can use the computer to control it, and it also has an Octave switch that can raise or lower the notes on the keyboard.

Nice!

I've never owned a really good MIDI controller. That's probable my next purchase.

Does the M-Audio feel sturdy? Is it well made?

Looks awesome.
