stoutfellowOf course, I've heard the song "Mercedes Benz" before. But somehow, hearing Janis Joplin sing it, a capella, with the introduction about "deep social significance" and the little giggle at the end, makes it much funnier.
I like the sound of The Band, but I very rarely have even the foggiest notion what they're singing about. ("I Shall Be Released" and "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" are among the exceptions.)
Pirates! looks like it might be fun, but it keeps crashing on me. On the other hand, a recent post by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rfmcdpei reminds me of the pleasures of another Sid Meier game, Alpha Centauri. I haven't played that in a long time; maybe I'll break it out. (If this computer will run it. There've been a few games which worked fine on my last computer, which seem fragile on this one.)
I bought some clothes at Kohl's today. Now, I'm eternally grateful to them for opening a store near me, thus freeing me from the necessity of buying ill-fitting and low-quality clothes at K-Mart or Target, and I'm willing to forgive them for repeatedly asking me if I'd like to establish an account with them, but somehow the way they reassure me that it's okay when I say "no" irks me.
I've deleted Astronomy Picture of the Day from my friends list. I like them, but they keep putting up extra-width pictures that screw up the rest of the list. I'll just have to look in on them the old-fashioned way.
