i had wild boar for lunch on saturday. it was v. good.

hey bill — as it turns out, we are bad people.

i love iTunes music sharing. one, because it lets me listen to music that i don’t own — the beforementined Melissa, a little bit ago, and now eighties Michael Jackson — but also because it gives me endless fodder for mocking the students with laptops. because, you see, iTunes lets you assign your computer an arbitrary name for sharing your music. currently in the lineup i see, among others:

• ????
• allison’s musicccc — – the extra C’s stand for cwality!
• B is for Bethlehem (1949 Songs/5.1 Days) — that’s nice, dear
• Brightly Colored and Shiny — finally, a name i can support!
• Eric Ottesen (A REALLY random collection) — listen, you do the sharing, i’ll do the determining of what’s “REALLY” random.
• If you want to listen to History lectures, rock on.
• In Societ Russia, the music listens to YOU (AIM: [someid]) — one of my favorite naming trends is putting your IM handle in there. presumably so people can IM you and go “my god, your music collection is so fucking excellent that i want to have all your little babies.”
• old punks never die, sadly — i’m pretty sure that’s max’s computer…
• So much to do…So few people to do it for me. — amen.
• Thom’s got yah ass (aim: [someid]) — well, that’s good, as Thom’s apparently got no spelling skillz, and will need a career to fall back on after he flunks out of the Harris School.
• and my favorite advert-bearing title, Visit policyforum.blogspot.com — i can’t wait to open up *your* music collection and listen to all those fabulous dance hits like Henry Kissinger singing “I Wanna Sex You Up” and Sandra Day O’Connor’s “I Touch Myself.”

… oh, shit. that last bullet point gave me a really unhappy mental image.
