I remember reading this Washington Post article last year around the time I became interested in busking. It was, in fact, an inspiration for me. Of course, the larger inspiration was hanging out with Hunter and his busking friends, which lead me to believe that busking is something that relatively normal people do.

It's getting to be that time of the year again. The temperature is in the 70s and it's sunny. Of course, I'll have plenty of time to busk after May 23rd, which is when my contract with Brightcove is up (I found out earlier in the week that they won't be renewing it due to budget constraints).

I don't know how, in my internet meanderings, I came across this quiz site, but MAN is it lame. Just thought I'd share. My favorite up there so far is wat bitch, followed closely by do boyzz think ur hot or a dork. If only 13 year olds reigned over the entire web...

Of course this site still has nothing on the worst website of all time (which my co-workers insist is walthampizza.com), but which we all know is, of course, www.fanfiction.net. If you have some time to kill, why not casually peruse their selection of 8,745 Power Rangers stories, or waste your life away reading the entire collection of over 352,000 Harry Potter fics.

Oh God, did I just say "fics"?

So as I was waking up this parody popped into my brain, fully formed

You better watch out

You better not cry

You better not cross

I'm telling you why


Santa Claus is driving around

He's makin' a turn

Signal's not on

Give him 4 seconds and

Find that he's gone

Santa Claus is driving around

He sees you from his Bentley

He doesn't even wave

He bought it with money from selling the gifts

Of the kids who misbehaved

You better watch out

Better stop quick

Santa has never learned to drive stick

Santa Claus is driving around

I've started a new blog. Here's a quick FAQ.


Q. Why did you start a new blog?
A. I wanted to do a blog with my friend Sheila. She used to write articles in college, but she hasn't written too much lately. The fact that we're 'buddy-blogging' will help motivate both of us to keep posting

Q. Won't the output of THIS blog suffer?
A. Probably. But I'll be posting music files here, once I get my home studio set up again

Q. Okay, so what's the new blog?
A. It's called Hip Devil and it's located at http://hipdevil.blogspot.com

Posts about exponential growth....no wonder no one reads this nonsense!


Anyways, I made a quick 4 question Harry Potter quiz to stump my sister. It's limited to Goblet of Fire (book 4). Good luck!
