OTDOD 11-5-8 - I Don't Feel Like Working Today Edition
by Faux on Nov 5, 2008 6:56 AM PST
Email
PrintFor your viewing pleasure, today's OTDOD will be broadcast in glistening technicolor.
- I don't think we've had quite enough Rock Band Two discussion, so let's hear it. What's your favorite song? Insturment? How do you get it to download songs in the background like I've heard about?
- I'd like to open the floor to questions. There has been pretty good business for this in the past couple days, so why not make it official? Got any problems or questions about your computer, cooking, or just about anything? Let LL solve it*.
- I can't get to youtube videos here at work, so you'll just have to hum Ramblin' Rod's birthday theme (update: smile contest theme - thanks pdb) to yourself instead.
- iku iku is "I'm coming" in Japanese. Discuss.

You don't feel like working?
Well, this is what I woke up to today:
I feel like hibernating until April.
Ohh, snow!
It reminds me of the last time I was in LV.

No shit
That’s literally the only thing I don’t like about living in the Greater Seattle Area. I would love if it snowed more

I hate freezing cold weather.
That is one thing nice about Seattle because it is temperate. I don’t mind driving up to the snow, but I hate when it comes to me.
Live in Seattle, drive up to Snoqualmie Pass, Stevens Pass, or Crystal Mountain, to get my fix.
I love the snow and cold
I dislike having to drive to get to the snow, I love waking up to a fresh blanket outside.

Those sign twirlers work hard.
At least the ones I saw in LV. It doesn’t really work that way on the east coast, where they hire homeless people to just stand with signs on sticks.

Rock Band 2 is my favorite recent game, I think. And it may start challenging for my favorite game ever.
They completely fixed the drum set, which was my biggest gripe about RB1. It now picks up quick hits on the red and green pads, where before I had to drape a tshirt over those pads to increase the sensitivity.
So far my favorite song to play is “Go Your Own Way” by Fleetwood Mac. It’s fun to play on all instruments, and when I was over at my friends house the other day we were all able to step up to Expert, and thus earned our very first band-wide 5 gold star rating. It was epic.
I don’t think the “downloading in the background” thing is going to happen until the Xbox dashboard update on the 19th. Supposedly you’ll be able to queue up 6 downloads and let it run while you do other things.

I sitll can't do Snow on Guitar.
Even on Medium. Stupid back and forth and my fingers just won’t do that for a whole song.
I agree about Go Your Own Way. It’s a easy beat to get, and that’s half the battle.
It's hard to convince people to let you eat them if you're an asshole. - Thingray
The only way I've gotten background downloading to work
Is by doing it outside of the game, through the Marketplace. Queue up 6 songs and just enter the game

Because I started this whole mess...
RB2 Song: Alive by Pearl Jam – Hands down the funnest song to learn hammers and rolloffs from.
RB2 Insturment: Guitar, because I can’t play the stupid drums or sing, and I haven’t had a chance to plug in my bass.
Question: What’s a good way of getting blood stains out of trunk liner material? (Stupid cheap tarps)
It's hard to convince people to let you eat them if you're an asshole. - Thingray
Alive is great fun!
Other favorite songs: Alex Chilton, American Woman, Any Way You Want It, Carry On Wayward Son, Chop Suey, Feel the Pain, I Was Wrong, Lazy Eye, Livin’ On a Prayer, Lump, Master Exploder, Ramblin’ Man, Round and Round, Spirit in the Sky, Spoonman, Today, White Wedding.
So, yeah, pretty much the whole set list. The only song that I really and truly don’t like is fucking “Tangled Up in Blue”. The vocals are impossible, and the drums and guitar are repetitive and boring.

I don't play Rock Band, so I have no idea. But I'd imagine it's a good time. Do they have Sweet Home Alabama?
That would be fun on guitar.
Strangely, no they don't.
I think it might have been in an early Guitar Hero game, but it hasn’t made its way to Rock Band.

No. NFL network requires an ADDITIONAL charge from cable companies for the games.
I still get the NFL network, but thursday nights they just show some random NFL Films stuff with a crawl at the top of the screen saying “Tell your cable company to pay us!” or something to that effect.
Still not a premium channel here, but it’s a hobbled channel; like if Cinemax ran news programs instead of their softcore movies.
I'll be a monkey's uncle
I’m looking forward to the MLB network making games impossible to watch

MLBAM is damn good at what they do
and you can be sure that they won’t make the same stupid mistakes as the NFL Network seems to be making. There’s too much at stake for them, and since MLBAM already makes MLB.tv the best package deal in sports, I would think they’d be reeeeeeeeally careful about messing with their televised product.

by pdb on Nov 5, 2008 9:18 AM PST up reply actions
Yeah, and I think the fact that basically no one's caved to NFL Network's demands
will make MLB reluctant to go the extortion route. The NFL gambled and so far it hasn’t paid off; they’ve just made even more fans angry – first the DirecTV thing for Sunday Ticket and now this weird situation where the Thursday night games are seen by something like 9% of cable subscribers….
People are so used to seeing 160+ games in their local market
that I think if MLBAM did anything to restrict someone’s ability to that much baseball there would be riots. I see MLB Network as the first step towards revising/eliminating baseball’s stupid blackout rules, and I can’t wait.

On top of that,
I don’t think MLB has the pull that the NFL does. The fan base isn’t as rabid to see every game, what with there being 14 games a day and a few thousand games a year.
This confused me too
When my wife is in Cincinnati in a few weeks, we were planning on driving up to Pittsburgh for the Bengals/Steelers game (long story involving my non-football-loving wife having a crush on a huge Bengals fan when she was in the 5th grade and thus still harboring a soft spot for the Bengals), until we discovered that the game is in fact on a Thursday. Is this a new thing?

After about week eight, the NFL Network takes one game a week and shows it on Thursday night as a national game
they typically pick the second or third best game of the week as to incite viewers to lobby their Congressmen to get the NFL Network on basic cable (not likely), but they don’t pick the best game because that would just piss everyone off (and most of the time either Sunday Night Football or Monday Night Football has the rights anyway).
In my experience
most of the Thursday night games are terrible because everyone looks fatigued

This is probably true
but usually they look good on paper
I'm going out there for a weekend
I’ve never seen Cincinnati – It may not be the most thrilling place in the world, but I’ve never been and I’m kinda looking forward to checking it out. I was very pleasantly surprised by both Cleveland and Pittsburgh, I see no reason Cincinnati can’t be fun for a weekend.

Asking LLers a question
I’ve booked a reservation for Canlis this Saturday. I haven’t been there in forever. Is there anything I should know about? Anything I ought to try?
Wear a jacket and tie.
Canlis is one of the few places in Seattle where it’s required. The Canlis Salad is awesome. The view is amazing.

So my department is being treated to a movie today at lunch
I guess there was some huge project that they finished about a month before I got here, and the department that we did the project for is taking all of us, including me who wasn’t even there, to a movie to thank us. It’s The Bucket List, which….meh, but still it’s nice that they’re doing that and it gets me out of work for a couple hours.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
The Bucket List was a wonderful idea in theory
In practice, not so much.
Although in one of his recent columns, Bill Simmons’ wife wrote in the sidebar about her bucket list idea for their aging dog. That, I felt, was brilliant.
Yeah, it seems sorta cringeworthy

I'm a big believer in rewards that both require effort and provide a reward
In the corporate world, it’s so common to just order a bunch of t-shirts or a Subway party sub and call that a “reward”. I’ve always thought that any sort of project recognition should cost the giver a tangible amount (don’t order a gross of commemorative pens at wholesale cost through your office supply vendor, take everyone you want to reward out to a movie or something) and should be something that makes the recipient feel like some thought was put into the gift being given (oh joy, another logo pen….aaaaaand into the desk it goes, never to be seen again).

Anybody have an awesome favorite sandwich I can steal inspiration from?
I hacked down my tomato plants last night (long overdue, really) so today I’m mourning the fact that I won’t be able to have a decent BLT for a long time. My favorite of the season was a soft shell crab (cooked in a 1/4 inch of olive oil over low heat with scads of slivered garlic and red pepper flakes), salt and peppered heirloom tomato slices (I think they were Purple Calabash, for any heirloom tomato lovers out there), thick slices of bacon, some speckled romaine wilted a tad in bacon grease, fresh mayo spiked with some white wine/tarragon mustard on ciabata. ‘Twas heaven and I miss it, so if you’ve got a sandwich obsession, I’d like to hear about it.

Go w/mozzarella and it’s a beautiful caprese sandwich. But with bacon!
I’m going to try this….
Actually...
Preparation
Split a piece (about 3 1/2 by 5 in.) of ciabatta bread (or a crusty roll) in half lengthwise. Toast lightly. Spread cut sides generously with mayonnaise. Cover bottom half with 4 to 6 large fresh basil leaves and a thick layer of 4 to 6 slices firm-ripe Sunset’s Red Horizon or similar large tomatoes. Sprinkle with salt and fresh-ground pepper to taste. Top with 2 slices crisp-cooked bacon. Cap with top half of ciabatta (or top half of roll).

But I agree with the mozzarella.

I am a sandwich obsessive.
Unfortunately I don’t have the time at the moment to outline my favorites. But I will get to it in a few hours. I had to chime in now though because i LOVE the Purple Calabash.
Yeah,
This was the first year for my trying to grow tomatoes and I over did it a bit. I had 6 differant plants jammed into a roughly 4×12 area. They grew together into a tangled gnarly mess. The purple calabash were certainly my favorite. I saved seeds from a dozen differant varieties this summer and I fear I’m going to go nuts trying to choose which to plant next year.

I've done tomatoes every year for about 10 years, and I always do heirlooms only.
Sometimes I grow from seed, sometimes starter plants… one year I had 45 plants. I am the crazy tomato lady.
I hear you.
Funny thing is, I spent my first 30 years thinking that I hated tomatoes. I ended up talking to a guy I know at my farmers market who runs a small organic farm and I found myself eating these little golden grape tomatoes like candy. I had no idea what they were until he told me…I thought they were some kind of pitless plum or something. Since then I’ve spent the last few years trying to eat as many varieties as I can find in the small window allowed. I still think grocery store tomatoes a frigging horrible though.

Nothing like home grown.
We struggled with out tomato crop this year for some reason. At first it was too hot, then we lost a bunch to hard rain and hail.
I think next year I’m going to build a “greenhouse” type structure to protect them.
Man do I love midgets.
I struggled with mine a bit this year too, but only a bit. I did half container half in ground.
I could talk about tomatoes all day. Good thing I have one or two other things to do today.
I may pick your brain when we go to start planting next year!
Man do I love midgets.
And I'll send my wife over to join in the convo...
One of the suckiest things about moving this summer is that we avoided having a garden. I LOVE me some fresh tomatoes. Didn’t have but a handful of cherry toms that I bummed off a friend whose garden I was photographing…

I have to say I'm a fan of the portabella sandwich.
I like it topped with sauteed red peppers and red onions, and with a bit of red oak lettuce. I just make a bit of garlic mayo and spread it on ciabata.

Funny portabella memory
The first time I tried a portabella sandwich was in the early ’90’s at some upscale kind of lunch counter in NYC. I was minding my own buisness looking at the menu when a guy sits down beside me and right away orders the portabella with roasted red peppers and balsamic dressed greens. I looked up and it’s David Byrne. I had what he was havin’.

I have two go-to sandwiches that I make
Both are pretty simple, but are immeasurably enjoyable.
Sandwich A:
pastrami + dijon + garlic spread + onions + baked at 350 until crisp
It isn’t anything terribly complicated, but it’s easy and wonderful.
Tuna Fish Surprise:
Tuna fish from a can (it doesn’t have to be anything too great. Chicken of the Sea is fine) mixed with relish, dijon mustard, either garlic salt or garlic powder, olive oil, salt, and pepper. It’s a wonderful alternative to the classic variations of the tuna fish sandwich. Chopped-up apples also taste good mixed in, if you want to try that.
Curry powder also taste good mixed in tuna or chicken salad, and throw in a couple grapes.
by Kirsten Schlewitz on Nov 5, 2008 10:22 AM PST up reply actions
grapes! Good call
I’ll try that.
Curry powder also sounds like a fine addition.
Can’t wait for lunch today.
It's kind of amazing how many things curry powder improves
My wife always makes a butternut squash soup each winter – she likes it fairly simple (what I call "bland") with just a drizzle of cream on top. I add the curry powder, and marvel at the winter-y goodness of it all.
For reasons I don't know, I have always hated curry. And I love spicy foods.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
You realize you just identified your food-krptonite to your nemesis, right?
I can’t imagine hating curry – probably my favorite food group. Thai, Indian, whatever. Love ’em.
Ok, Ok, my food nemesis? Mayo. That’s part of the reason why I’m so insistent the sandwich above MUST contain mozzarella instead (besides, it just makes way more sense).
Dammit. There's going to be curry powder in an envelope in my mailbox, isn't there?

I simply wouldn’t survive a mayo-based attack. I know, he knows it, the American people know it.

I have not intentionally ingested mayonnaise in several years, and I’m pretty sure I’ve not even unintentionally ingested it. Again, with the exception of chipotle mayo because it does not taste of mayo, thus making it acceptable

My hangover is starting to get the better of me
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
Gonna be a long afternoon
been drinking lots of water all day, had a nice filling burrito for lunch, and still. Let this be a lesson – resist the temptation to go out to the bar for “just one more” after having consumed several beverages at home prior to departure. At least on a work night. Sounded like such a great idea, too.

They advise you never to take aspirin or acetaminophen after drinking alcohol
because it’s doubly hard on the liver. This is why you should never EVER take Excedrin for a hangover, since it has both aspirin and acetaminophen in it.

What Husker Du?
The only album I have of theirs is 15 Songs. I wouldn’t mind checking some more out.
Warehouse: Songs And Stories
It’s pretty epic. Zen Arcade has been talked about here as well – it’s not my favorite of theirs (Warehouse is), but it is widely considered to be one of the best college-radio/alternative/whatever you want to call the genre albums ever. Candy Apple Grey is good, too, and it has the benefit of not being a double album like both Warehouse and Zen Arcade, so it’s somewhat brief.

It's ok
I cried yesterday too, it was dumb, but I am over it now.
AKA Thingray's Fiancee (not a Midget)
That bummed me out too,
but the election being over cheered me back up. Not being political, just happy the political ads are off the radio and TV.
Man do I love midgets.
Yes to the election being behind us
I’ve watched basically no tv the last few weeks because of them
HA HA HA, your Grandpa's an ASS!- Tourette's Guy (R.I.P)
I agree in full.
It’s great not having to deal with all of the negativity surrounding the election anymore.
Yeah, that really put me down
And in addition I received an email from a customer yesterday stating that they would never, ever buy a car from my dealership because of how poorly she was treated. The owner was at the store on Monday, and instead of letting my manager make me an easy deal for this lady, instead he (the owner) decided to show off and write up her deal. She wanted a $250 payment on the car she was buying. It was an $11,000 car, and she had $500 down. He made me go tell her it was $400 per month, and that she had to give us $3,500 down payment to get that. She left the dealership while yelling at me out the door of her car. Fucking owner…
HA HA HA, your Grandpa's an ASS!- Tourette's Guy (R.I.P)
Owners generally should stay away from the day to day work.
Man do I love midgets.
Yeah
My sales manager was pissed. I mean, that should have been the easiest deal we’ve ever had to do. The owner sold cars in the 70’s and 80’s, and has been a store owner since the 90’s. He doesn’t seem to realize that things are drastically different than they were back then, and you can’t use the exact same tactics to sell cars
HA HA HA, your Grandpa's an ASS!- Tourette's Guy (R.I.P)
I know what you mean.
The owner at Mills established the place back in the 70s, back when the only competition was other local stores like Cascade or Kennelly. Now with internet retailers like Sam Ash and Woodwind Brasswind, we have to do things a lot differently. The owner still seems to believe the acceptable margin is still what it was back in 1977 when in reality, it’s much smaller today.
Yeah. He never even pulled up the computer to see any numbers
He just wrote out the figures and told me how to show it to them (which I’ve been doing for 4 years, and haven’t forgotten). Seriously, an $11,000 with $3,500 down does not get a payment of $400 for 48 months. God that pissed me off
HA HA HA, your Grandpa's an ASS!- Tourette's Guy (R.I.P)
And it would have been a good paying deal for me, which makes it all that much worse
Multiple win-win: Customer gets exactly what they want, I sell a car, and make some money in the process (which is tough enough these days)
HA HA HA, your Grandpa's an ASS!- Tourette's Guy (R.I.P)
The owner sounds like a jerk.
Man do I love midgets.
Not at all
He just works car deals like you would expect from somebody who sold cars in the “heyday” of the 70’s and 80’s, where you could treat customers like that because what could they do about it. He’s not even mean about the way he’d do that. In fact, he’s more of the overly generous type that makes you think he’s your best friend while selling the car. That’s all fine, but people these days are educated, and can’t be handled that way when it comes to numbers
HA HA HA, your Grandpa's an ASS!- Tourette's Guy (R.I.P)
With the availability of information via KBB and the ability to gauge the market from Craigslist
you really can’t get away with that stuff at all. Consumers as a whole are for more aware now than they were 30-40 years ago.

That sucks

AKA Thingray's Fiancee (not a Midget)
I've never had one of my customers say anything unkind to me
Four years of sales, and never an issue with it. Until this happened, because I had no way to deflect it. The customer told me exactly what she wanted to do to buy the car, and this was one of those 1% of the time scenarios where what the customer wants is actually simple and feasible on both sides. I tell all of this to the sales manager, and then the owner swooped in and fucked it all up. Thank god he is normally never at the store because I would have quit
