Adventures of Egoboy

I’m working with the tunes keeping me sane. “Disco Inferno” started playing (no comments about the choice of music. The computer picks it all for me. Honest!). At about 5:50, I realized there was a mix up and it should have been called Disco Infernal. It’s 10:51, and most of that time isn’t especially pleasant.
Fatboy Slim’s “Slash Dot Slash” from his new cd, Palookaville. Apparently he was on another planet for a few years and missed the rise of the Internet followed by the high-tech bubble bursting.
“Personal Jesus” as sung by Johnny Cash on his American IV: The Man Comes Around album. I can’t help it, but I always start laughing when I play this song. It sounds a trifle different from the Depeche Mode classic. The juxtaposition of old school country with serious songs and the flashy Depeche Mode is so extreme it makes Johnny’s version actually very enjoyable.

Tattoo tattoo

I never noticed before, but is that a tat on Michael Phelps (from OlympicGods.com)? I certainly never noticed it in his earlier photos or his cover on Time (although, in all honesty, I wasn’t looking for it).

Which brings up another point, so to speak. He’s 6’3” with size 14 feet. His suits are incredibly small, and there doesn’t seem to be anything popping out. Again, not that I was looking. They must keep the pool cold to increase the speed of the athletes.
