The closest thing to a date I had last year was a trip to the Mt. Angel Oktoberfest<\/a> with a neighbor. In fact, it was the closest thing I’ve had to a date since I broke up with my girlfriend the week before 9\/11\/2001. Today we went out to breakfast. Thus, I’ve made it halfway to my New Year’s resolution. If, of course, you count the breakfast as a date. I had to leave so I could help my friend John with his yacht. It turns out he just needed me to crawl under the fly bridge-thingy to disconnect some wires. It didn’t take very long.<\/p>\n

I’m thinking of ordering some old CDs from BMG and I’d like somebody to give me some help. I mean, this is the third time I’ve mentioned Rob Swift<\/b> because that’s the only cool CD I’ve bought in years. On BMG I’ve got the following CDs in my “Shopping Cart”:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Artist<\/th>\nAlbum<\/th>\nNote<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
Various<\/b><\/td>\nLiving in Oblivion 2-4<\/td>\n80’s cheese-music compilations<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
The Psychedelic Furs<\/b><\/td>\nGreatest Hits<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Pet Shop Boys<\/b><\/td>\nAlternative<\/td>\na CD I lost<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Duran Duran<\/b><\/td>\nSingles Boxset 1981-1985<\/td>\nI miss the remixes of “Planet Earth” and “Rio”<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Various Artists<\/b><\/td>\nRed Hot & Rio<\/td>\nI’ve lost TWO copies of this CD already<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
New Order<\/b><\/td>\nRetro<\/td>\nJust because I have all the other New Order CDs<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Control Machete<\/b><\/td>\nArtiller&iaccent;a Pesada, Presenta<\/td>\nJust trying something new<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Fountains of Wayne<\/b><\/td>\nWelcome Interstate Managers<\/td>\nA suggestion from my sister<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

It may be lucky that the web site is broken and won’t allow me to buy these CDs rignt now.<\/p>\n

Honestly, I finally have an iPod with 5091 songs (14.8 days worth) but I’ve been listening to Erasure<\/b>‘s “Pop! The First 20 Hits” repeatedly. I think I should break out into something else, but not just The Pet Shop Boys<\/b>. Maybe Journey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
