Ever feel just really<\/i> disconnected?<\/p>\n
That’s about how I’m feeling these days. Politics? Not feeling engaged right now. Baseball? The Cubs :cubs: aren’t making me happy. Work? It’s there. Life? I have a headache.<\/p>\n
The only thing news worthy of the past week that’s held any interest for me is the splitting of Oasis<\/a> with Noel Gallagher’s departure from the band. Of course, this prompted me to put together a playlist in Winamp called “Oasis 1” that, taking its inspiration from The Beatles 1<\/i>, plays all of their #1 singles from the US, the UK, and Australia.<\/p>\n Oh, and Opera 10<\/a> debuted today. I’ve been on Alphas and Betas for so long with Opera 10 that I don’t even know the difference with the real deal. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n It’s just the late summer doldrums. I think we all go through that.<\/p>\n And apropos of nothing, Leif Erikson Day<\/a> is commemorated on October 9th.
