Stuff

While skating on the Schuylkill River Trail last night, I heard a piper in the woods. That's piper in the 'I'm glad he's at least 100 feet away' sense.

I got sunburned at work today. This is not a bad thing. Any job where you can get sunburned is a good thing, right?

I have now ridden every single type of rail vehicle that SEPTA operates in regular rail service, and at least one that it doesn't (at least not for the next ten days or so). Well, I'm not sure I've ridden on a train pulled by the ALP-44, but that doesnt count.

Music Ramblings

I don't believe in excessive categorization of music. I currently have the following genres on my MP3 player (number of artists in the category):

Bluegrass (8)
Celtic (2)
Classical (5)
Country (13)
Folk (25)
Jazz (26)
Rock (32)
Soundtrack (2)
World (1)

I feel like I could combine Celtic and World into World. The Soundtracks are FotR and TTT from LotR, but I'm not inclined to merge them into Classical, though I could. The question is, do I need to create a Pop group to take a few things out of Rock and Folk. I have definitions of both Rock and Folk that I understand and I think are fairly consistant, but I'm open to change. Thoughts?

What is my collection missing?

Three in One Night

I've got 60-90 minutes daily on the train getting to and from work. I've finished re-re-reading Cryptonomicron. Should I read Snow Crash, The Baroque Cycle, or something else (I've only ever read pieces of Dune and Narnia, which are the things that come to mind as series to start reading)?
