For Rena, The List

Rena has asked me often what I look for in a dateable, so just for the heck of it (this a G rated blog). Here is my list with explanations. Please note, this list is somewhat facetious and somewhat serious.
1) Be female

1) Must like Foo Fighters, Incubus, and Weird Al. Weezer and QOTSA are also an acceptable answers as is The Black Keys. Actually I don't like Weird Al. Cole and Rena both like Weezer. Therefore, my dateable/significant other must like the Foos. Or at least tolerate them or one of the other bands. Or at least "like" them on facebook for my sake.

2) Vaccines: they don't cause autism and they are perfect against communicable diseases like cooties. Also great for herd immunity (sentence fragment).

3) Be illiterate: this is important. Sometimes I misspell words and use improper grammar (surprise, surprise it happens), if she is illiterate she won't know there are any problems....ignorance is bliss.
1) Be female
4) Not affiliated with a political party or able to have a political conversation if she does lean one direction or the other. I grew up more conservative/Republican. But ever sense college, I have gotten more liberal....even progressive (which in Glen Beck's bizarro world is dirty word). Plus I think conservatives have gotten more ideologically rigid. It's hard to talk about anything if you have black/white, right/wrong, left/right, conservative/liberal, patriot/traitor, us versus them dichotomous thinking.
5) Must understand the "who is the cheeseman?" reference. Cole does, but hates the cheeseman.
6) Must be my height or shorter. OR if she is taller, be willing to get height reduction surgery.
7) Have values, i.e., physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight.
8) Funnyish

Incubus, Seether, and Weezer oh my!

Everyone one has their favorite music. I believe music preference to be purely arbitrary. So when people ask me favorite band I tell them the Foo Fighters. Why they ask? Well, I started out like one of their songs, Everlong. Sometime the Foos can be screamy, but I like them for the energy of the music and the simplicity of the lyrics. Every since Everlong, their music has grown me. I think a lot people have a similar band, their first - like a first kiss. The Foos came out with a new album this spring and my favorite song on the album, Bridge Burning, begins out screamy but ends up normal. Other bands I like have recently released new albums. Incubus and Seether (both in my top ten of favorite bands) released new albums. I just found out that Weezer, who is growing on me, released another album last fall with Hurley from Lost on the cover! How cool is that. Anyway, here is are my top 10 favorite bands. I don't list them in order, mostly because I am not sure the order:
Foo Fighters
Incubus
Seether
Weezer
The Black Keys
Queens of the Stone Age
Rise Against
Jack's Mannequin
Nirvana
Them Crooked Vultures

I've found Kayla a boyfriend. In the episode of Wipeout, Kayla's own people are one of the featured groups of people! So Kayla, who will it be? The Teddy Bear Guy? The LARPer Shadow Wolf the Regulator (at 5 minutes 55 seconds) and the Jedi at ( 9 minutes and 9 seconds).

Kayla, you're welcome.

Here is your psychological question of the day:
