My downstairs neighbors got Rock Band over the holidays. God help me. They seem to favor Should I Stay or Should I Go and Say It Ain't So -- or maybe those are just the ones with bass lines that I really pick up on. I don't tend to hear much of the singing, but bass and drums carry. Someone (Wendy? Jane? Dean?) suggested I go down there, knock on the door and fling my bra at whoever is performing when it gets too loud, if only to make their heads explode. So far it hasn't been that bad (and bras are expensive, yo), but I'll keep that in mind.

I am also quietly obsessing over Linked In -- something the rest of the internet world has known about forever, but I'm just getting into. It's proved the most effective means of tracking down people I used to work with in Hong Kong, which makes it worthwhile right there. If I can actually use it to get jobs or sources, so much the better.
