So, at 9:30 this morning, as I was on the bus to work, my dad called me to ask me about furries. I am totally serious. I'm not sure what's more terrifying, the fact that my dad assumed I would know about furries, or that he was right. (Background to this - apparently some super-creepy dude my dad met while working a previous job several years ago has apparently been arrested on charges of pedophilia, and it turns out he's a panda furry).

To balance out that moment of utter weirdness, on my way to 7-11 on my lunch break to buy a bus pass, I found a five dollar bill all by it's lonesome in the middle of the sidewalk, so I used it to buy delicious organic fairtrade chocolate bars and shared with the rest of the department.

Also, you know you are a nerd when you are ripping concert DVD audio tracks from the commandline in Linux. It's actually fairly simple, but the order of chapter tracks on this DVD does not appear to be the same as the tracklisting on the case, and at least two tracks have disappeared off somewhere (it's an eight track DVD but attempting to rip higher than six results in a huge encoding of all the tracks). Still, omg omg omg, live VNV Nation = epic win (I bought Reformation 01 and seriously, one CD and one DVD of live tracks, and another CD of unreleased tracks and remixes was totally worth $20)
