This is a really good article. It’s amazing to think how far we’ve come that information like this is readily available to the searching public. 🙂

Disabled girl plays flute with one hand
•October 6, 2013 • 1 CommentDisabled girl plays flute with one hand.
More importantly, disabled girl plays CUSTOM BUILT flute. It was made for her by a member of my community band whose name is Woody Wood. Well, his real name is Clarence Wood, but who wants to go by Clarence?

I could totally see this working. All that stretching and pushing of physical boundaries. *grins* I just wish I could do more yoga and not just by myself.

Devin Townsend (and why I dig him)
•September 21, 2012 • Leave a Comment1.Juular –
The first song I found by Devin Townsend. Totally awesome.
2. Feather (edit) –
In contrast, this was the second of the first two songs I ever heard by him. Diversity is Devin Townsend and Devin Townsend is diversity.
3. From here, I bought the album “Deconstruction + Ghost” (2011). Here is the orchestra tracking video that DT made as a preview to Deconstruction:
4. Juular and Feather are both on this one, but another favorite is, “Stand.” – (at least try and make it through the first 4 minutes)
4.5 Transitioning between those two, we find ourselves with “Ho Krll” –
5. Another favorite then, deeply in contrast with “Stand” is “Blackberry” – (and this one is complete with subtitles!)
6. From THERE I moved onto his album, “Synchestra” (2006). There’s this one song, “Vampira” that is absolutely hilarious – Well, at least the video is hilarious
7. Synchestra is made of pure win. Another great song is “Notes from Africa.” – And this is why we learned arpeggios in band . . . lol –
8. The next album I bought was “Addicted” (2009). The song, “The Way Home” is what I play when coming home from big trips –
9. From there, I bought a couple of songs from his album, “Infinity” (1998). This is, “Wild Colonial Boy” – (it’s a bit of a fast waltz, you could almost say)
10. Devin Townsend’s “Ziltoid the Omniscient” (2007) is more fun to listen to on Youtube than it is to own – but I did buy one song – “The Greys” –
11. From here I found the album, “Ocean Machine” (1997) – One of my faves is: “Voices in the Fan” – make sure you listen to this song in its entirety –
12. And then the album, “Physicist” (2000) – and my favorite is “Namaste” – a complete difference from the last one. 🙂
13. He’s just released another album called, “Epicloud” (2012). And so its music isn’t yet on Youtube, though there is one that DT posted showing himself dancing in. It’s really really funny. The song is called “Lucky Animals.”
Oil Spill Problems Continue
•April 22, 2012 • Leave a CommentOkay, so I haven’t updated this blog in a while, but I figured that I should at least share with you one of my newest interests. Call me paranoid, but I have some pretty good reasons not to trust the people in charge, and neither should you.
Are you aware that the problems caused by the oil spill in 2010 in the Gulf of Mexico by BP aren’t resolved yet? Are you aware that it’s actually getting worse? That people and animals (ground and water both) are dying and suffering horrible complications?
Articles like this would have you believing that all is well or getting better, but that’s not the case at all.
This time a year ago, nearly 100 dead dolphins had washed up on land. What’s that number now? Mutations are being found in all different kinds of marine life. People are getting sick and staying that way. And the media is ignoring it, because “We, the People” apparently don’t count for squat anymore.

I hate answering questions like this
•June 21, 2011 • 3 CommentsQuestions without a response will receive no score.
* You observe one of your co-workers stealing items from the Store during one of your shifts. What would you be MOST likely to do?
Continue with what you are doing and report the co-worker later.
Stare at the co-worker so he/she will know you are watching him/her.
Pretend not to notice what the co-worker is doing.
Go find your supervisor and report the co-worker immediately.
Ask your co-worker to stop stealing.
* You are re-stocking shelves when you notice that some of your co-workers are standing around talking when they’re supposed to be working. What would you be MOST likely to do?
Leave the co-workers alone and wait for a supervisor to interrupt them.
Politely wait until they finish their conversation and then suggest that everyone get back to work.
Stop working and go tell your supervisor that associates are not working when they are supposed to.
The next time you see your supervisor, tell him/her that associates are not working when they are supposed to.
During you next break, talk to other co-workers about your concerns.
Take a break from work and join your co-workers’ conversation.
* I make plans and stick to them.

* After an unusually tiring hour, you notice that there are only 10 minutes left on your shift and you have only unloaded 8 of your quota of 12 product containers. What are you MOST likely to do?
Keep working at your current pace and make up for it by working faster tomorrow.
Take a break; you.ll never make it anyway.
Work faster; you might not make quota, but you will get close.
Ask a friend who has made quota to help you.
Keep working at your current pace, and let your supervisor know that your quota was set too high.
* I always double check my work.

I can’t tell you the number of times that answering questions like this has cost me a potential job. I don’t know how to answer them and I think it’s stupid to base the entire process on this alone. If I can do the job, and answer things right on the job, why can’t that count for anything? AGH.

•June 13, 2011 • Leave a CommentRecently had an appointment with an independent psychologist in order to get an outside opinion on my Asperger’s diagnosis to see if I can qualify for Social Security.
At the end of the meeting, he said, “Some people’s presentation of Asperger’s is more subtle. No offense, but I’m surprised that it took you until your 20’s to get diagnosed. Yours is a very obvious case.”
So that’s two doctors on my side (one is a MD and the other is a Ph.D). I’d say it’s definite.
In other news, I added a new link: Burning Organ Fanfic Database.
