Alexander Pope heralds from the grave
I got an email from Alexander Pope today.
Can you believe my disappointment when I opened the email to find only spam? I was really hoping that I'd have a chance for enlightenment first thing this morning from a man of the Age of Reason. Bummer.
At the same time, my iPod was synching (or syncing, since they're both correct... but for some reason I prefer to use "sync" as the home-base verb and "synching" as the transitive. They're shorthand for "synchronization" [or synchronisation in area affected by the British Empire] so if you're another concerned reader who thinks about these kinds of things, please feel free to use any combination that you prefer.)
As I was saying, my iPod was synching and seems to be working after plugging it in overnight to the new power adapter that just arrived yesterday. I had iTunes opened and on random, and right after I received the email from Alexander Pope, Arrested Development started their early hip-hop in my ears with "Fishin 4 Religion."
Oh, Alexander, you should have received more attention in the Da Vinci Code (book and movie).
P.S. It's been a long time since I've listened to the "3 Years, 5 Month and 2 Days in the LIfe of..." album. The "Everyday People" remix is still cool, but damn those commercials for making me think of stupid Toyota every time I hear any version of that song.
