  • I Hate Exercise Addicts

    I don't like working with extreme exercise addicts.  They get so wired from running, or biking, or whatever they do, they get pumped with endorphins.  Then they try to dominate meetings, doing all the talking, bringing in new useless levels of detail no one would get to if the exercise addict were not there.  They love meetings-- when everyone else knows meetings should be held to a minimum.

    Exercise addicts, like all speed freaks, have no follow-through, so don't depend on them to execute the crap they propose.  They also are so wired, they can't remember who proposed what-- so they are idea theves par excellence...They take credit for everything everybody else thinks up...

    IRIS DEMENT

    Saw her last night at the Egg in Albany.  Seemed heavy, depressed.  Made a reference to "getting at least one anniversary," so it sounds like a relationship busted up or something.  She was quite a musician and quite a trouper, though.  I had no idea she was so great on the piano.  One gospel thing she did had an intricate, captivating rhythm.  Many of the things she played were downbeat-- she didn't do a lot of her fast, upbeat things.

  • SUCKY NPR PROGRAMMING

    This morning, an otherwise interesting NPR bit was marred by messed-up sound effects-- many stupidly jokey.  The program was on neurobiology, but the interviewers dropped in all kinds of comedy.  Bongs, whistles, you name it.  Lose this please. 

    Call me a grouch.  I don't like the daily show either.
