Pin the Tail

What’s on my nightstand?
Ernie Pyle’s WAR, America’s Eyewitness to World War II, by James Tobin
The Mythical Man-Month, Essays on Software Engineering, by Frederick P. Brooks Jr.
Dreams from My Father, Barack Obama…oh yeah, it’s SIGNED too…
How to Be Popular, Meg Cabot…oh yeah, it’s SIGNED too…
Hello Kitty Candy Shop

What ink captivates me?
For free, I’ve been reading The News-Record of Greensboro, North Carolina online because they seem to have an editorial board that is willing to write detailed endorsements.
The Wall-Street Journal, aside from their conservative editorials, has captured my attention. Of particular interest was a recent article about congressional earmarking which led me to some hideous, easily found, information about Indiana’s congressional earmarking of tax dollars correlating to election years– in hotly contested congressional districts. Yick.

What’s in my ear?
Lately: Regina Spektor…thanks to David Phillipy of the BCT Board
At the moment: Earwig…thanks to the enigmatic Rick Dietz
In my car: Grizzly Bear, T.V. on the Radio…thanks to Landlocked and Jonathan Richardson (Early Day Miners and man-about-town)
In my squeezebox: Astor Piazzolla…because daddy can’t get no sleep at night

Movies?
Okay, so I had Brazil checked out from The Cinemat for about 5 weeks until City Councilman Steve Volan actually called to scare me. If you work for government and haven’t seen this film you’re insane.

T.V. Shows?
A new friend has gifted me with all the episodes of The Office which make me laugh and terrified at once…is it based on County Government?
