I promise I’m getting to posting the winners of the Recommend a Site, Win a Mix CD contest. It’s just that I’m spending so much time at the sites that were proffered up that it is taking me a while. I have no idea how I will narrow it down to just five.

Good work, people.

1. That if you somehow trained a monkey to live in your stereo to turn the volume up when it gets too low and turn the volume down when it gets too high, and you named that monkey Compressor, it would act much like a music compressor. (The VCB is very wise.)

2. That 100% Whole Wheat Chex and an apple and Highlander Grog coffee are not a good way to start the day. When you are a waitress.

3. There are going to be even more things plugged into this room since the VCB bought a new (well, used) G4 today. With ProTools all up on it. So he can go nuts and mix his ass off. (Yay you, sweetie.)

4. That people are nice. I mean, I tend to forget it when I get depressed. Which I recently have been. I get really detached and don’t return phone calls or emails. I feel like I can’t trust others. Then people go and do things so beyond kind that it sort of turns all that other shit right around. Some people really rule.

5. That I got a sort of promotion. I get to work the night shifts now at work. Which involve high-dollar wines and $20 pan-seared Lake Victoria perch over shiitake risotto. It means a nice, long 6-hour shift instead of a quick fit of tables from 11-1. It means I might can get back on my feet financially after a really muddy last couple of months.

6. Stay off eBay. One doesn’t need two new red Twin Peaks t-shirts in one week. No matter how cheap.

7. Evanescence’s songwriter quit. I don’t know, I overheard it from these two weird industry guys and they seemed pleased that the songwriter for Evanescence was no longer writing for the band.

8. That Six from “Blossom” is back. I’ve seen her in sexy pictures on the interweb. And she has a big butt.

9. That I seriously need to workout in overtime, oh my God, Spring is like already here. I look at my summer clothes and wince.

10. There is a new planet. Now kids are going to have to buy ten of those styrofoam balls when making thier models.
