I "star" programs to give a general indication of what kind of music I prefer, and "star" songs to remind myself of things to investigate in the future. Rarely, I "star'" a particular show that blows me away. You know.

i star things strictly for my own reference. i quite doubt that anyone else ever looks at them.
...if i thought so i'd star things with completely different guidelines.
(i.e. i never star songs that i own a copy of.)

@Therese - I thought this Speed the Plough song was The Monkees' "As We Go Along", at first. Excellent foolery!

coelacanth:

i star lots of episodes. if i particularly enjoyed it, why let it remain stored,unloved, during those times (the minority though they are) when live wfmu is not for me?

I starred my favorite FMU programs. I was starring songs I liked so that I could look into buying the record later instead of having dozens of tabs open in my web browser during a show. But I'm a bit of a creature of habit. I quit starring songs because I still looked for them during a show.

ME TRIVIA: If I hear whistling in a song I try to whistle along even though

a. I can barely whistle
b. I probably have never heard the song that has the whistling

If being able to barely whistle were a mutant power I would be king of the X-Men.

when people cannot whistle it's because that power is being diverted. it's up to you to find your superpower.

i unintentionally but willingly cut way back on my alcohol intake - gradually, starting about 2 years ago. my tolerance has plummeted. it sucks.
i drink 3 beers and feel like crap for a day.
...3 years ago i could drink 12 strong whiskey drinks and people couldn't even tell i was drunk.

Oh, I have a VCR that works that way, but only because I ran out of outlets.

rw i have a small apartment, but i've rigged the electricity pretty well. practically everything is on power strips and i turn everything off when i leave except the refrigerator. i use dimmers too, for ambiance but more to preserve light bulbs.

When I was a kid, I drank three or four beers and had to throw up. Nowadays, it's like sodapop. The evolution of the aged body, I guess.

BadGuyZero:

I used to drink A LOT. Then a few years ago I had a medical emergency and it was recommended that I drastically reduce my alcohol intake. Which I did. After my gallbladder was removed last year I pretty much had to quit drinking. I have a beer/cocktail or two once in a while. Now I drink club soda when I'm in social situations that involve booze consumption.

@BGZ: Well, I have the 1977 original. I have an LD transfer of “The Empire Strikes Back.” But as someone who grew up with the films, “The Force Awakens” solidified my feelings towards “Return of the Jedi”: I don’t like it. So I ditched that flick. I only believe in the original “Star Wars” and “The Empire Strikes Back.”
