    Making a mix CD for someone who has never even heard of Neutral Milk Hotel or Cake before is tricky.

  • How old did you think I was?
    She thought you were like, 30.
  • Cake
    How could you not have heard of Cake before?

    You mean to tell me my personality is nine years ahead of me? Damn.

    I think you are off by three orders of magnitude, check your math.

    Is it a mix tape for a lady friend?

    Man has a point, it's like saying you're a better drummer than Meg White.

    Yeah, but it's hard because I have very little reference point for what kind of music she likes beyond her comments about what I play in the car. Instead, I'm just trying to create a kind of "intro" to indie CD. So far I've got Pavement, of Montreal, Cake, Olivia Tremor Control, Best Coast, Animal Collective, LCD Soundsystem, Hold Steady, Apples in Stereo, Ariel Pink, and Modest Mouse on there. Giving her In The Aeroplane Over The Sea by itself on a separate CD as "homework" since she claims to like folk.

    Currently on job search and one of the companies I applied to wrote me back asking to send them examples of my work. For someone applying for a position as a web developer that is a rather bizarre question. What am I supposed to send? Source code I no longer have or that never really belonged to me? And even if I did have it they couldn't execute or use since they wouldn't have the appropriate resources or configurations of the web server? What the hell? Maybe it was just somewhat of a standard reply since it is an advertising company.

  • You might have kept screenshots. I take it you worked mostly on intranet stuff.

    Indeed. The biggest project I did that falls in the category of the job offer would be an internal company logbook I did during an internship. I no longer have the code or any screenshots of it, and if I did they wouldn't be able to use it and the company I worked for at the time probably wouldn't want me to show it around. Also, screenshots are going to be hard to showcase the functionality of any JavaScript, PHP or JSP.

    Maybe I still got some code from some university projects somewhere around, but that's going to be a royal pain to get working again (setting up and configurating a server and database, ugh).

    Maybe some Bombay Bicycle Club for her, they are crazy accessible but still indie.

    Throw some Yeasayer up in there. "Mondegreen" is a ton of fun.

    Does the rain get in? Does it stop your mind from wandering?
  • So pleased that Arcade Fire and The Black Keys won awards at the Grammies.

    I could totally imagine you dating an older woman, Sonic. Then again, for a long time I used to think that you were much older than me.
    How old did you think I was?
    25-28? I was 22 or so when I met you and thought that. Take it as a complement. You are way more mature than most people I know. Even me ;_;

    I dunno... Rym's 'stach looks more to me like a luigi mustache.
  • Would you get into a van with that 'stache?
