Of all the holiday that I don’t celebrate Ash Wednesday is my least favorite. First of all it is hardly a holiday, I don’t know what you would call it, but it doesn’t resemble most other holidays. As far as I can tell the only thing that happens on Ash Wednesday is you get ashes on your forehead and you start Lent, which is also not a holiday, but is something. Anyhow I have always found Ash Wednesday to be very disconcerting. I always forget about it at first and then when I realize the ashes are not an accident I am always surprised by the amount of people who “celebrate” this holiday. Last year I did give up the Live Straddle for Lent and I think I should give something up this year as well, I guess I will give up hedge bets. Done. If you don’t know what a hedge bet is, it is a small bet that is allowed in some poker games that is meant to just take up one of the possible bets and reduce overall cost of playing. Anyhow I am done with them for 40 days and that will probably improve my play!
This Hot Chip album was pretty good. Its techno flavor reminded me of my old raving days, but it was definitely more mainstream (like Fatboy Slim or something). I probably owe it another listen which I will try this weekend. BTW my second listen of Daughtry was not as good as the first and I might be removing it from my ipod. One day soon I will list every album on my ipod just for fun. I give Hot Chip 7.5 out of 10.5,
