Yeah, baby! II

Said dial is labeled "Dial-A-Nap."

Yeah, baby!

I just noticed our cheap old vacuum has a dial on it with settings for "LOW," "MED," "HIGH," and "SHAG."

Sept Dances

MAJ: What's this "September Dances?"
Me: No, it's "Sept."
MAJ: Right.
Me: Like, seven. Dances. Sept Dances. Sept.
MAJ: I don't get it.

The good news: I just found a music dealer whose phone number ends 1337.
The bad news: he almost certainly doesn't get it.

Others count successfully

Me: Librarysergeantanderson.
Mike: Fifty-nine minutes.
Me: Excellent. Next time shoot for 119.

Others count down for me

Mike: Is Beth around?
Me: Nope.
Mike: I'm trying to find the senior person. McGhee is next.
Me: Tell him to dismiss us.
Mike: That's the plan.

La Fille du Cadiz

Me: It makes me laugh that there's a jazz band arrangement of this.
Jazzer: Why?
Me: Well, it's an opera.
Jazzer: It's a Miles Davis tune! It's very famous.
Me: Jackie sang it a couple of years ago.
Jazzer: It's Miles Davis!

Another day of counting down

148 minutes.

Is THIS Your Score?

COL: Could be. I rarely look at them.

Bizarre Song Title du Jour

"Attack on Undying Oompah" for brass quintet

City Most in Need of a Map

South Boston, VA

Things the Colonel Didn't Say to Me Just Now

"Oh, God. I'm brain dead!"

Froogle

COL:  Is that froogle like cheap, or froogle like Google?
Me: Yes.

I take it all back

I've always asserted that jazz music has the dumbest tune tiles of all.

I have just found an orchestral piece called Mxyzptlk. The orchestra wins.

A New Level of Procrastination

Should have done: vacuuming.
Actually did: arranged a capella jazz version of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer."

Am I teeming with a lot of news!

There's an arrangement of "I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General" for handbell choir.

You know, in case you needed one.

How's Work?

I'm actually counting the minutes until I can leave for the day. That rarely happens.

Only 195 minutes left.

Because It's Pretty.

Actually, no! By carrier pigeon!

Me: I just sent you a pdf of that.

Guy from Illinois National Guard: Over email?
