Talking Heads - Naked

Cool! May I have my nick changed to Penelopez?

Don Cherry & The New Eternal Rhythm Orchestra, Cond. by Krzysztof Penderecki - Actions and Humus: The Life Exploring Force

Printing with an iPad

Haven't seen the Nook yet, but I agree. I'd like something like Kindle but with a good color e-ink display. For "normal" LCD displays I can use the MBP already.

A color e-reader would be very handy for medical, and probably other technical books. Surgery illustrations look moar better when the blood is red

Had a guilty moment listening to Amy Winehouse and her Live in London. Now back to the classic jazz: Stan Getz and Chet Baker - Stan Meets Chet

Count Basie & Oscar Peterson - Night Rider (1978 ) -damn eight and bracket smily- For the bass line involved on the title tune (and for being OP) I thought it was NOHP involved but no. This is the line up Recorded February 21, 22, 1978: Count Basie - piano, organ Oscar Peterson - piano Louie Bellson - drums John Heard - double bass Nat Hentoff - liner notes Val Valentin - engineer Norman Granz - producer

It's obvious you're still in bed or at work in the US, and today is holiday here. Yep, the defuncts day of the Catholic tradition. Not sure it's holiday over there. Anyway, some more Phineas Newborn Jr - Here is Phineas In this one he sounds more like Tatum than himself. Lovely anyway.

Martial Solal - Live at the Village Vanguard French pianist playing solo. I find him interesting (he's kind of post-bop deconstructionist) for a time to time listen. Fred Hersch & Bill Frisell - Songs we Know Sweet delicacy and ethereal notes

After repeating this: Listened to Steppenwolf - Steppenwolf (aka Born to Be Wild) Now back to more nice hardbop by Horace Parlan - Happy Frame of Mind

Yep, that's my usual way to manage stupid tasks which I don't give a damn to do. Remove cook from the equation, add some music listening, and that's it.

Now more Phineas: Roy Haynes, Phineas Newborn Jr. and Paul Chambers - We Three

Good choice too Al Probably my favorite Green's album. Funnily enough this evening after the Donaldson bacchanalia I've been listening to more Phineas stuff: Harlem Blues Now just finished the Be Good Tanyas': "Chinatown" So starting with a very different stuff. Nikka Costa - Everybody got their little something

Yep, a really great album I've been having a heavy Lou Donaldson's jazzy-funky afternoon with these:

That's what I believed, but for your comment I thought it might be different. Here there are some special sweets for this time depending on the area. They make "huesos de santo" (saint bones) and "panellets" (small cookie-like sweets made of almond flour) for this defuncts day. Tomorrow most Christian believers will go to the cemetery to pay respect to their dead beloved ones. Here there was no tradition of dressing customs, nor going over the neighborhood houses doors asking the trick or treat thing, but kids by seeing it in the movies and TV series, have been doing that for the last 5-10 years. Now they even sell plastic pumpkins at the department stores

Do you Americans have a special dinner (a la Thanksgiving) for Halloween?

I got my left eye operated when I was 6. I've been wearing glasses since I was about 3 or the like, more than I can remember. I'm 46 now, and I should be thankful for not developing presbyopia earlier (for a longsighted I'm about 6-10 years late). I've always had pretty good vision using glasses (I'm also astigmatic), and those glasses allowed me to have a very wide vision field. I could read just by moving my eyes. I could even drive looking at the sides back mirrors without moving my head. So heaving to move the head just to follow 40-50 cms text lines in the PC screen is a big no-no. I've got very quickly the far-near thing on the top-bottom sides of the lenses, but the width of field focus is extremely annoying. I suppose I can get used to this, but it's kinda trade off. I probably prefer having to use two different glasses and still enjoying my normal wide vision field than having all-in-one, but being "boxed" into a extremely narrow (for me and my usual field of view) one. I'm rather good assuming things that have no alternative, but this one, which can be probably improved just by using 2 different eyeglasses... Anyway, just a bit of ranting Thanks for being there.

Hahahaha, this is very encouraging fellas I'll give these damn things a few days, weeks eventually, and if I can't get used to them, I'll go the old two different sets route. This thing of the very narrow focus area which makes you move the whole head to read wide text lines, is beyond annoying. And these are supposed to be very good offering among the widest focus areas available

Broken Social Scene - You Forgot it in People Yesterday night before going to bed was listening to this gem, which helped me to feel less miserable: Phineas Newborn Jr. - Back Home

Trying to get accustomed to these damn progressive lenses glasses. I feel old, tired and cheated
