NP: Various Artists, CMJ mix (MP3)

So I sat on a charter bus for about 18 of the last 36 hours, and all I've got to show for it is a box of BBQ sauce courtesy Jim Curtin's mom. I've got an idea for something that will read like actual journalism about the game itself.

Anyway, I could have made it into the office for about half the day, but I'm feeling like staying home was the right choice. I'm getting to the bottom of a couple of nagging issues, like why AOL thinks I'm a spammer and why my computer, fresh from its network-dropping recovery, started to imagine it was actually connected to the wireless hub without actually having an IP address.

After a morning full of sleep-deprived exasperation, I opted for the old uninstall/reinstall trick, and that seems to be working so far.

The most amazing thing about yesterday, despite the inherent 70s-ness of Arrowhead Stadium, was that I actually went all day without a single drop of coffee. I almost tried to extend that into today, but that was really not going to happen.
