You know, one of these days I'm going to get all the way to "Document100" on MS Word before I have to restart my laptop for somethingorother.
Right now, I'm up to Document59 (new file for this week's drabble challenge). Document7, Document8, Document23, Document42, Document46, and Document52 are unfinished fics. I'll get back to them someday.
In other news, popular music still sucks. Electronica sections in 95% of record stores suck, provided they exist in the first place. What does a bitch have to do to find a well-managed, well-organized, well-stocked electronica section that's not mostly questionable dance mixes and shitty house music? Damn you, Sound Garden, why do you have to be all the way over in Fell's Point?
In other other news,
plotbunny_tiff and I are too nice for our own good. *waits for the cries of, "That's not news!"*
In apartment-hunting news, it looks like we may have found a winner. All three of us are going down tomorrow afternoon to retour the place. I'm going to be cautious in my rejoicing until after that.

Date: 2006-04-07 05:49 pm (UTC)Sadly, if you want a good electronica selection, you'll probably need to investigate independent record stores in your area to find out who carries the obscure/unknown stuff in stock. For what it's worth, though, in terms of large chains, I've had some limited success in finding industrial music at Hot Topic (mostly Metropolic/Projekt/Dancing Ferret), Tower Records, and the occasional CD Warehouse. Most record stores, though, you're lucky if they even stock the latest Metropolis releases.
I don't know of any independent records stores near you in particular, but should you ever wake up and find yourself in Philly, stop by Digital Ferret. It's run by the guy who runs the Dancing Ferret label and is an old friend of my husband. They've got a really good stock of domestic and import titles, and their used section is awesome. ^_^

Date: 2006-04-08 07:26 am (UTC)We found an apartment complex. We don't have a specific unit yet, but we know the general area where we'll be living. Considering there are something like 200+ apartment complexes in the broad region where we were looking and 30-someodd in the immediate area, narrowing it down to one or two was impressive.
