This carpet was on the floor of my office at work. It's gone now. I came back after a Doctor's appointment last Thursday and over half the room was flooded with grey sewage. The room had too much stuff in it. There are things we have to have on the floor, there's just nowhere else to put them! So we chose fairly well, I think, and we're pretty much in tact, having lost a bit of software, but nothing too horrible.

This week I've had my own office because of it. Kinda cool, actually.

But I better not get used to it, I'm going back to the dungeon (what we call the basement room I work in) next Thursday.

UPDATE: Thursday is over and we didn't move. How long will we wait? January? Thanksgiving? meantime I have a window to look out of at work. Ah, amenities...

Just happened to be walking through east Cambridge and saw this door. Now I need to go back again and see what the little black thing in the middle pane of the door window is.

I saw this from the 70 bus last Thursday and came back to photograph it on Sunday.

Scariest Slumbering Song Ever

The Scariest Song Ever by Slumbering shows that Slumby really does know what's scary.



Slumby herself always seems like she stepped out of a Tim Burton movie to me -- she's Sally all brought to life and living in Los Angeles. This song carries with it the whimsy and humor to make my comparison stick, I think. It has a bit of musichall or maybe biergarten and a subtle but serious jolt at the end. Macabre!

Missing Piece 8 by The Light Dreams

One thing that I really love about some of the Electronica guys at macidol.com is that they really pay attention to their artwork. They understand that visuals can add a lot to a listening experience, and they design their art for their pages accordingly. The Light Dreams has a voluminous jamroom, and there are many really cool pictures accompanying his compositions.

Missing Piece 8 is his most recent addition, and is great, spacy ambient music. I'm going back to find the other 7.
