A few initial copies of the Flaming Lips' "The Soft Bulletin

5.1" DVD came with the wrong CD. The DVD is their brilliant 1999 release remixed in 5.1 surround. It is quite amazing. The CD along with it was supposed to be a "demastered" version of their 2006 5.1 release as they heard it at Tarbox Road Studios. What mistakenly was shipped was the original 1999 US version. Per a suggestion from George Salisbury I sent my copy and a short note down to the Lips in Oklahoma for a replacement. Today I got a handwritten note from Michael Ivins and the correct CD.

I also got an advance copy of "Crashing the Gate: Netroots, Grassroots, and the Rise of People-Powered Politics" by Jerome Armstrong and Markos Moulitsas Zúniga. Now I need to

find time to read.

I got into the office and my mouse was gone. I email the staff about it and 10 minutes later there is a ransom note on my desk saying that I need to put $100 in a specific locker by 13:00 or my mouse gets smashed. As I didn't have $100 for a cheap old iMac mouse handy, I printed a $100 bill (Thanks to Bill's suggestion, no pun intended). I then cleaned my desk from some junk and threw it in the locker with the bill taped to the inside. Co-worker Joe returns my mouse and is surprised to hear I got a ransom note. He knows nothing about it. So co-worker Nick gets motivated to be my private investigator but as of 16:48 we have no idea who left the note.

At the Downtowner Car Wash in Saint Paul getting an Express Detail. Got to use the gift certificate that Matt gave me for Christmas. Watched the latest Chasing Windmills and I saw a strange item before I paid: Tab Energy. WTF is this, I wonder? Being that everyone is all about the sodas and energy drinks at skholla.com, I had to do my part. I paid the $1.99 for it and I can broadcast that it is a silly drink.
