Wow. Ray Charles died. That's a depressing thing, when you consider the man's gifts.

On the other hand, at least he got to go surrounded by his loved ones, in his home, peacefully. A lot to be said for that.

In other news, would anyone like to have lunch or something tomorrow?

I wouldn't mind, though I don't know if I could make it lunch. Depends on if they cut me out early again.

Yeah, I understand. I just don't want to commit to dinner in case I have to go to Perimeter and sign the lease and such.

I like having lunch every day.

You said the word of doom. You, my friend, bring this on yourself.

Then spin the wheel, Raggedy Man!

Dammit, stop stealing my smartass replies!

I could theoretically do lunch. I need to hit an Evilly Huge Chain Bookstore sometime tomorrow to magazine up, and wouldn't mind snagging some food if it's on the way. When and where are you thinking?

[bzarcher.livejournal.com]

Probably the Tuttle area, given the workingplace and all. Or down near the Rusty Bucket or Sawmill road. Probably around 12:30ish?

I'll see how things look in the morning and hit your cellphone if I'm up for it. Rusty Bucket didn't impress me so much to make that long a trip out of my way, truth be told.

[bzarcher.livejournal.com]

Not a problem. I didn't mean it specifically, just that area. :D There are plenty of good eats around here, especially if we look towards Sawmill Rd.

Gimme a call if you're up to it, and we'll go from there.

Ray Charles

At least the man can go out with some dignity now, no more commercials. Here in Rhode Island, Ray Charles has been "announcing" the lottery jackpot on the radio... only he's not actually making a new, unique recording every time the jackpot changes. Apparently he read a series of numbers out loud, and they get edited together in the correct sequence for each new jackpot, much like those creepy human/not human recordings you hear when calling up some big corporation.

"And today's jackpot is!.... twenty!... nine!... million dollars!"

It's hilarious, and a bit pathetic. Hopefully that will stop now, although RoboCharles can theoretically keep announcing the lottery jackpot for many years to come.

If RoboCharles can spend the rest of history protecting our Lotto numbers and fighting crime (or people who are actually good at math), I think I will sleep better at night.
