More Music

Saturday. Saturday morning, Dad, D[1] and I went to see "Cars". Not a bad movie, of the "city slicker goes to the country and learns valuable lesson" type; some of the characters - notably the Judge - approached two-dimensionality. jeriendhal has a pretty good review here; I do have to point out that the protagonist's name was Lightning (not Speed) McQueen.

After the movie, I told the others to go ahead home; I had some shopping to do. (The theater is only a mile or so from Dad's place.) First stop was a visit to Barnes & Noble. I decided against buying books, for various reasons, but I did want to pick up a few CDs; details under the cut.

( Music )

I was hoping to find an album by the late Desmond Decker Dekker ("Israelites"), but no such luck; I'll have to hunt for it online.

(Oh, yeah. Second stop was a visit to a nearby restaurant for a gift certificate for Dad's birthday.)

Fooled You, Notepad!

This is interesting. Despite appearances, it is not political. If you have a Windows XP machine, open Notepad and type the words "Bush hid the facts". Save the file and close it. Then reopen it.

The explanation is here.
