thoughts of the day
- The new Andrew Bird
album (Noble Beast) came in the mail yesterday, a full week in
advance of its in-store debut. It’s terrific. And I applaud
the structure: the first song is titled “Oh No” and the
final song (which bears some resemblance to the first) is called
“On Ho.”
- The media reports of yesterday’s truly impressive A320
ditching on the Hudson continue to praise the heroic actions of
“the pilot.” Doesn’t everyone know by now that
such airplanes always have two pilots?
- Making up fancy-sounding names for small, medium, and large
drinks is a trend that has to stop now. I noticed that Panera (ugh)
has a coffee size called “largo.” We know from music
class that “largo” is Italian for
“broadly.” Care to guess which size cup that makes it?
a great lil coffee joint i know still goes with small, medium and large.
