• Made the train. No ticket punch yet. Am irritated to find that condimental.com already exists. Still need to get the sfdc workbench running. #
• Amazing how it sticks with you-the critter this am broke into a great big smile when he saw me. Talk about making my day! #
• Here’s a tip: probably best to avoid the remaindered holiday egg nog at cvs, even though $2 a bottle is a great price. #
• @shobyabdi now you too can wear a sars mask!! Way to be a team player. #
• Metra-train vs pedestrian incident-probably train before mine. We’re moving very slowly through the accident area. Ambulance just left yikes #
• @scootergirl re: josh’s pen - sometimes you don’t know what you’ve got til its gone. A day late. I know I know. #
• The ü65 yo guy in front of me at cvs is really grooving to the ace of bass they have playing in the background. Viva soft rock! #

Dear American Idol:

Two words regarding your rock n roll hall of fame broadcast: it sucked.

Seriously.

Three songs had rock potential: Tamborine Man, The Who song, and Proud Mary.  The others didn’t belong on the show.  You could argue with me about Duran Duran’s Hungry Like A Wolf if you’d like.  I might let you win.

But the show sucked.  The songs sucked.  The performances sucked.  Yeah — David Archuletta’s too.  Every week I wonder what depressing ditty he’s going to sing.  This week was the same.  He’s going to be another depressing balladeer.

Don’t get me wrong: it’s not that I don’t like “Stand By Me” or “Change Is Going to Come” or Bob Marley.  I like these.

But it should be ROCK N ROLL MAN!  ROCK N ROLL!!!

Put some energy into it please.  Send it to eleven.

Thank you.

Regards,
Reid

A co-worker points out that my obsession with The Metra Lottery (which I won again this morning, btw) is a global issue.
