My Interests

/a"A lot of people don't realize what's really going on. They view life as a bunch of unconnected incidences and things. They don't realize that there's this like lattice of coincidence that lays on top of everything. I'll Give you an example, show you what I mean. Suppose you thinking about a plate of shrimp. Suddenly somebody will say like plate or shrimp or plate of shrimp out of the blue no explanation. No point in looking for one either. It's all part of a cosmic unconsciousness." -Miller (Repo Man)

52.5 Goes Facebook

Clay has a page, the store has a page and 52.5 has a group. I'm not too sure about the effectiveness of the store page, so we may end up with just a group page. Group pages seem to offer more in terms...

Ripped off

I had at least 7 CDs stolen from me yesterday. I'm 99% sure that I know who did it. The thief paid for several CDs. (Lesson learned : just because they buy, doesn't mean they don't steal.) He came bac...

Sub Underground?

Someone just came in and asked if we had any "sub-underground" music. I said, "What is that, another level of underground?". She said that it was just that. She pointed out the Mountain Goats and said...
