Another guilty pleasure in my life: documentary television. More importantly, those things dealing with history. It always seems to rope me in. For instance, tonight, I watched a special about Nostradamus. To this day, the guy still freaks me out. Granted that in hindsight, anything is possible with his prophecies. Did he predict Hitler? The World Trade Center? The moon landing? On and on. I get a little spooked out about it when I stop to think about it. This is just a taste of my addiction here. Lately, Roman history has been sucking up precious hours of my life. My never ending adventure of feeding my brain goes on.
I surprised myself when I went into the station today. One of the volunteers starting asking questions about the broadcast signals of the two stations. I should mention that we have one station running on AM and the other on FM. Understanding how this all works in the technical sense is something that I have come to understand over years of feverish passion. Today was the first time that I was asked to explain it to some one with slim knowledge of this nearly one hundred year old technology. I think I did pretty well. At least, I surprised myself. I’m no expert, but I think I’m getting pretty close to being a professional.
Muse is a group that has captured my attention lately. I hate getting into the details of how or what they sound like. To me, it’s just good. And might I add, Matthew Bellamy has a tremendous voice.
