I've been thinking about a few different posts for this place, and instead of cranking them out old-school style, I'm mulling them over.
A few months ago, I was "tagged" over at the hockey blog and asked to name my top five songs of all time. I can't possibly do that. I named my top five songs by bands starting with the letter B, and I pledged to do a top five for every letter of the alphabet, but that project ended before it started. I was gonna (and still might) try that over here.
I haven't bought very much new music in a long time. I don't have disposable income, so it's a real treat to buy a new record. When the new Radiohead was "released", I downloaded it and didn't pay anything. I know. I know. Lame. That's not the point. The point is that after probably 40 listens, I keep having different responses to it. Not all of them are good. Eventually, I'd like to write something about that.
Without further ado (or as my friend Kevin says, further "adieu"), I'll use the cheapest of cheap tricks. The old "Here's what's in my cell phone text message inbox before I clean it out"
These are some of the better ones. The names have been changed to protect the innocent

Many of these are from the same two or three people, and many of them have some reference to some joke, but it's sort of fun to share them with folks completely out of context. For the record, I have no idea what "cksw" means.
Here's my favorite, which came after I failed to return a large number of voice mails and text messages:
- Are you hibernating, watching hockey and drinking guinness, growing a beard and reminiscing about Throwing Muses shows past?
That's it for now. I'm also going to immediately work on a post about my latest Scrabble tournament.
