The yet further recommendations of Matt

  1. Pandora -- The best internet radio source for finding new music. Props to Summer for introducing me to this. It's hard to imagine I could have gone my whole life without hearing "The Best Ever Death Metal Band in Denton" by the Mountain Goats.

  2. The Three Junes by Julia Glass -- Probably the best novel I've read since Atonement by Ian McEwan. Mad props to Mo-chan for her taste in literature.
  3. Boycotting the NBA after that farce of a championship series. Dwayne Wade shot as many or more free throws than the entire Mavericks team in three of the last four games. That's bullshit. Hook Devin Harris up with the free throws he earned by getting leveled repeatedly by Shaq and the Mavs close out the series in Miami. It didn't help that Avery Johnson had no clue how to get the most out of Marquis Daniels and seemed to think that Adrian Griffin could play the part of Bruce Bowen.
  4. The Opera browser -- I got tired of trying to manage all the extensions I wanted with Firefox. A lot of them aren't compatible with each other, more don't get updated at the same pace as the browser does, and most of the really good functions provided by extensions in Firefox are built in to Opera's base browser. Opera is marginally faster and never crashes. And now it runs widgets (an idea stolen from Apple). My favorite is the BBC news feed widget.
  5. This dude.
  6. Table of Malcontents from Wired.com -- if you ever think you've exhausted the internet's amusement quotient, check this blog out. It's where I found #5 and these crazy covers of the Pixies.
  7. 28 acts in 28 minutes -- A BBC radio show that's funny and quick and that you'd already know if you read Neil Gaiman's blog.
  8. Neurology -- It beats a sharp stick in the eye. It also beats sewing up choads. (No I'm not going to Stanford. I have no idea why I picked that link.)
  9. Studying for the psychiatry shelf exam on Friday.

Is this thing on?

Sorry for the long layoff. I discovered I'm not really as witty as I'd believed and had a rather long drought of post ideas. Going back to what I said this blog would really feature, here's another vocabulary word.
Trichotillomania is:
  1. A week long festival celebrating Native American culture in Trichotillo, New Mexico.
  2. The uncontrollable urge to pull one's hair.
  3. A deviant sexual behavior even more fraught with comedic potential than frotteurism.
  4. The Mexican wrestler Donnie Loa named his penis after.
My next post will probably come sooner than a month from now.
