Lost Hours of Productivity

Because the Lost One is in the middle of Scribbling a paper for Professor L_______, (Not that he is worried about spending an excessive amount of time on it as its only a three page paper on one of several theories, not a single one of which showed enough signs of sophistication to convince the Lost One they weren't written in crayon) this is going to be one of his shorter posts. The Lost One would like to take a moment to talk about the wide range of entertainment options available to those strapped for the cash. First in the arena of music the Lost One has made two wonderful discoveries (well, one is more of a rediscovery truth be told). The first, is Live 365 a great site for listening to tunes on the net. Its a free service (the Lost One too as come to understand the value of a hard saved buck, he is after all a student) that plays music suitable for any palate, and pays the owners of the music for your guilt-free listening pleasure (ahhh, capitalist bliss). Its really sweet. Be sure to check out Into the Mystic and Sirens of Song, even if you don't stay very long. They are both cool. Secondly, The Lost One has recently become a fan of Paste magazine, pretty much against his will. Its really got a great little music sampler attached to it with some cool songs, and at only $6.95 it's cheaper then buying a CD. The Lost One does have to warn about the rampant Liberalism (Helpful hint: remember the whole instant Karma concept, Looosers) and the "We're too cool to have a business model" attitude that pervades the Mag. Be prepared to deal with stupidity. Kay, on to movies thanks to my older brother(one of the few nice things he done for me, tellingly done on accident), The Lost One now has his very own membership to Blockbuster's new movie-in the mail service which I got to say is pretty cool. Though it is kind of dumb that some videos have a wait attached to them. The Lost One requested The Office first thing and nearly ten movies later is still waiting to get a copy. If you have a very popular movie, you should get more copies of it! Finally, my ubiquitous plug for my links on the right. Good clean blogging fun. That's all for me, Professor L______ waits for no man. Women, yes because they are oppressed. Ok, maybe the odd minority student as well. As long as they tow the party line that is.
