Years ago, things like this were nothing more than a fantasy, something I'd seen and knew that I wanted to be a part of, but didn't have the opportunities to take advantage of. Now, though, it's a fantasy no longer, but a world that I'm part of. <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2004\/01\/25\/living-my-dreams\/\">&#x27A1;<\/a><\/span><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2004\/01\/25\/you-have-to-wonder-about-the-gift-shop\/\">You have to wonder about the gift shop&#8230;<\/a> <span class=\"today_excerpt\">Something for a list of places to go should I ever visit Los Angeles: the brand spanking (ahem) new sex museum. <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2004\/01\/25\/you-have-to-wonder-about-the-gift-shop\/\">&#x27A1;<\/a><\/span><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2004\/01\/25\/rip-captain-kangaroo\/\">R.I.P.

Within a few days of beginning his drive-through diet, Spurlock, 33, was vomiting out the window of his car, and doctors who examined him were shocked at how rapidly Spurlock's entire body deteriorated. <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2004\/01\/25\/the-joys-of-mcdonalds\/\">&#x27A1;<\/a><\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>2003<\/strong><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2003\/01\/25\/lizette\/\">Lizette&amp;<\/a> <span class=\"today_excerpt\">A while back, while digging through my friend Kory's mp3.com page, I stumbled across a remix he did of a song called 'Breathe,' by an artist going by Lizette&. I downloaded his mix and liked it a lot. Curious by that point, I decided to see if I could track down the original version to see what Kory had started with. <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2003\/01\/25\/lizette\/\">&#x27A1;<\/a><\/span><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2003\/01\/25\/reminder-dj-wdi-mixes\/\">Reminder &#8211; DJ W&#252;di mixes<\/a> <span class=\"today_excerpt\">Just a quick reminder for those of you who may be new to my site, and might not have bounced around some of the rest of what I have up here. Over on my DJ W&uuml;di propaganda page, I have eleven mix sessions available for download as .mp3 files. They range from 22 minutes to an hour and seventeen minutes in length, and from 26 Mb to 88 Mb in file size, so you'll probably want to have a broadband connection (or a lot of patience) to download them. <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2003\/01\/25\/reminder-dj-wdi-mixes\/\">&#x27A1;<\/a><\/span><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2003\/01\/25\/mt-upgrades\/\">MT upgrades<\/a> <span class=\"today_excerpt\">I've just added a new plug-in to MovableType &mdash; SmartyPants. It's a relatively minor thing, but one that's nice to have &mdash; it automatically converts common characters into their typographically-correct versions. I've also hacked into the code to build TrackBack pings as they happen, speeding up individual page requests. <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2003\/01\/25\/mt-upgrades\/\">&#x27A1;<\/a><\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recognizing 20 years of blogging, here are my past posts from January 25<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2040],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16493","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16493","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16493"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16493\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16493"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16493"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16493"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
