So this morning I was driving to work, which is not unusual since I can't fly or levitate or anything cool like that. Anyway, I drove through the U of M campus and was sitting at a stop light, one car from the front of the line, and this guy crosses the street in front of my car. Now, I don't have a problem with people crossing streets. I'm just wondering why it was so hard to walk, literally, the extra 20 feet to get to the light. The light was even green in the direction he wanted to cross. I guess if a person prefers to play frogger instead of taking the extra energy (which really wouldn't take that much) to walk to the corner, that's their choice. Those people should wear helmets, it would be much safer.
On a different note, I was listening to a song called "The Percolater." Obviously it was attempting to simulate a percolator coffee pot, and doing a very good job of it. You never hear songs trying to sound like drip coffee makers, or French presses. Admittedly, they would be boring songs, but a percolator is always used. Hearing an espresso machine more often would be interesting. They make all kinds of sounds. Come to think of it, that would be a great song to write and perform. I think the boring appliances and household utensils should be given more attention in song writing. You never hear songs with refrigerators or stoves or brooms in them. I'm going to start a movement for the fair treatment of boring inanimate objects in songs. Anyone who wants to join me may do so.

I see you got my message. ;)
As a pedestrian, I always crossed at lights, and when it was my turn to go, and still almost got hit on multiple occasions. Why that guy would choose to do that is beyond me. Although I must admit there is a different mentality at the U of M campus.
I'll let my brother know about your idea for music. Perhaps they could incorporate an appliance sample into one of their songs.
