]]> Comment on MuteMath in OKC by Micah McMillan http://micahmcmillan.wordpress.com/2009/10/27/mutemath-in-okc/#comment-679 Micah McMillan Thu, 05 Nov 2009 02:12:18 +0000 http://micahmcmillan.wordpress.com/?p=2180#comment-679 UPDATE: So I seem to have let more than "a day or so" go by since posting this. Hehe. At any rate, the MuteMath concert was good, Cori and I had a lot of fun. We both took the smart way (or wimpy way) and wore earplugs during the show, since we were only a few feet away from the stage. Actually, for anyone who's never tried earplugs at a small concert, they make it easier to hear the music without all the extreme bass and reverb you usually get at live shows. As with most MuteMath shows, there was plenty of hi-jinks from the band members--including the drummer taking one of his toms into the crowd and doing, getting folks to hold it above their heads, and then him literally standing on the crowd. Very entertaining, to say the least. I definitely recommend MuteMath to anyone, and you should check out their live show anytime you get the chance (even if you have to wear earplugs to do it).

My wife says your point is that all the women pictured (including the Barbie doll) are sufficiently similar to be lumped together, while Greta Van Susteren is the stand out because she is maybe not as pretty. But, just to be clear, that's NOT what my point is with this post; and Greta does "belong" because she fits the general Barbie-esque description of being a blond (arguably) attractive female. Jethro, I’m not sure if I’m missing your point, or if you’re missing mine…

Secondly, my point is not that these women literally look like Barbie--just that Fox employs a lot of blond attractive women who can jokingly be referred to as "Barbies". Any post with this many pictures, and so little formal exposition is obviously open to a bit of interpretation, but please don't take this post too seriously folks.

Mattel has always styled Barbie according to the latest fashion trends - the original 1959 Barbie's hair was styled after Lucille Ball's, y'know. Every year they update the doll with the latest fashions and hairstyles. Female news anchors tend to lead the pack rather than follow, fashion-wise. So it's more that Barbie looks like THEM than the other way around. I think you’re arguing the tail wagging the dog.

Yes, I do own a Wii (though I haven't played it for over a year, since Smash Bros. came out); I love Xbox Live (streaming Netflix, video downloads, arcade titles and games on demand, multiplayer for Call of Duty and Halo...); and I think Natal will be cool to see in action--hopefully it's not just a gimmick that dies, but something that developers fully utilize to create a more fully interactive entertainment experience.

But there are some times where it can be glassy and easy. If you want a day like that for learning it's best if you go on a strong N or NW. NE and E are very choppy so don't go then. But I guess the best learners wave is folkestone, but it's a very nasty place with lots of chavs. The best surf at joss for tides is 2 hours before high tide. Joss bay is quite friendly. The surf crew there are nice at they have surf lessons too. the surf at joss bay can get quite choppy, so it is quite hard to learn how to bodyboard or surf there.

The competitive side of surfing and bodyboarding aren't nearly as good as the adventures that you can get surfing the world. Because if you start competing to much the only pleasure you'll get from the sport will be by beating sumone but the real fun of surfing wont be there.
