Stuart Copeland from the Police also tried his hand at movie scores. He did work for some cheesy teen movies, I think. It obviously didn't work out as well as it did for Elfman.

His theme song for the equalizer tv show was outstanding

This old man road rages against a motorcyclist and fails. The motorcyclist shows amazing restraint, imo.

Free Pizza on Thursday as I transition away from my current team. Free Pizza on Friday for a project I completed in the just completed corporate year. Ah...Free Pizza!

This Boston dude freaks out at the sight of a sunfish, and spends 5 minutes cursing at it. He cannot comprehend what the **** it is and goes from thinking it's a turtle, to a baby whale, to a flounder, to a tuna. Some funny shit.

One of the world's greatest mysteries. Why do people shop at IKEA? The quality is low, the materials are of the lowest grade. The prices are expensive(even though they might sucker someone into thinking they are getting a steal of a price for laminated cardboard and tin), the designs are poorly thought out, and stores themselves treat you like a lab rat that needs to walk through an elaborate maze before you can even exit.

Yes, you can walk to see something specific at the very start of the store, and not want to see something else. Then you're stuck walking around spaced out mothers of four who are looking at Ikea for ideas(for the fifth time in two months) while their kids are jumping all over the MDF staircases that seem to be next to every bedroom kit and her husband is pushing an oversized cart with the smallest item on it, blocking anyone from passing(along with the 4 others in the same situation within the next 50 feet). A 5-10 minute stop turns into an hour long event. By the time you're near the end, they have all of the furniture you saw on display, in another warehouse like display. So you say, **** it, I'm sick of furniture shopping after being trapped by the IKEA warehouse engineers who have studied from the best prison wardens in all of Israel, and settle on something that looks like it could last as long as you take care of it, but only to later succumb to the humidity of a Chicago summer and watch the veneer start to chip and blister off come 2 months later.

And those shitty beds too! IKEA. It's kept everyone awake.

IKEA has been hit-or-miss for me. I bought a cabinet from there, and while it looks nice, the quality is pretty terrible and broke after a year. Still haven't replaced it though. The bed I bought from there was a bit hard to put together, but it's actually been pretty good for the price. I'm happy with it. My computer desk from there is average... but again, it was cheap, so I don't have too much to complain about there.

All in all... meh.

Honestly, there's some IKEA stuff we have and mainly because it was cheap and fit the needs of what we were doing with it--mainly bookcases and the like. That and we got a gift card as a wedding present.

That and I don't live in Chicago :).

Still, anything important we splurge on and got stuff made out of real wood--not glued sawdust.

Back to random thoughts. On an unrelated note, tripping, falling, and landing on your kneecap on a single piece of gravel hurts like a motherfucker, but you can rub some dirt on it and walk it off.

Racism exists when you don't like blm and Beyoncé.

Random thought 2: black people really do some sweet aftermarket work to Harley Davidsons with the speakers and the tanks.
