Too late. I'm already on it.

The Easter Bunny's list is still available.

Listen, this tubemonkey shtick is starting to get old. Yes, it was cute for the first 10 or 15 years that you've had it, but it's gotten long in the tooth--you're (over)due for a change in persona.

I found a book for you at Amazon that's supposed to have a million mix-and-match crochet options. Surely you can find something among them that you can start using from henceforth. If not, here's another book that you can look through, by the same author.

Oh, the author also has an R-rated book of crochet people, but I'm not going to link to it. This is supposed to be a PG or PG-13 rated website. Besides the book's not sold at Amazon in the U.S., I saw it on the U.K. site.

Warm regards,

Posting the classical music freebies from different websites is a little like dating. It takes a while to get to know the other person and to be able to anticipate what he or she would do in different situations.

I'm still trying to get to know the personalities of these companies giving away free music on a regular basis. Case in point: YourClassical. I thought that they changed freebies at 2 a.m. or after, but I thought that I would take a look at what they had posted, anyway, before I headed off to bed before the magic hour.

Well, their freebie for Friday--and the last one until Monday (unless they do something unexpected. Reference my first paragraph. ha)--is already up and it's not 2 a.m. yet as I write these words. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that they put up two days' freebies at the same time, the last couple of days, so people had ample time to download them if they wanted them, and would be eager to find out about the next one. Who knows?

It's something a bit out of the ordinary. It's a piece from composer Alexander Borodin, called In the Steppes of Central Asia. The album includes Symphony No. 1, Symphony No. 2, and the freebie, In the Steppes of Central Asia.

Given, in large part, the title of the free piece, I was wondering if it and the rest of the music on the album was even really classical. I really have trouble picturing someone on the central steppes of Asia playing classical music. But, listening to the 6 minute, 27 second piece, I can definitely say that it is. It's heavy on the horns, but except for one or two louder bursts, it is soft horn music. In fact, it's a very nice piece.

The whole album is performed by the Malmo Symphony Orchestra. Jun'ichi Hirokami is the conductor. It comes from the "BIS" label (probably one of Naxos'). You can find out a good amount of other miscellaneous and general information about the album here. Unfortunately, there appears not to be a dedicated webpage for reviews of the album.

I suppose that there's no much left to say, other than to direct you to the YourClassical website which has a streaming button/bar and also a link to the MP3. Look for the link saying "Direct MP3 download link" if you wish to download the free piece. Clicking on that link causes the piece to automatically be downloaded to your default computer drive or smartphone memory.

Here's a Hulu one month free trial offer.

This offer is good for some "eligible" returning subscribers, in case you would have been a subscriber before, as well as new subscribers. If you are a former subscriber who is interested in this offer, you'll need to investigate that more thoroughly, because I was unable to find, in my looking around, any details about that.

The blurb:
Watch shows and movies anytime, anywhere--from current episodes, original series, kids shows to hit movies, we have something for everyone.

The highlights of the plan:
- You can cancel your subscription at anytime.
- Watch new & exclusive series on your favorite device.
- Limited Commercials and No Commercials plans available. Starting at $7.99/momth. Add SHOWTIME to get up to 30 days free.

I hope that the last point is not saying that you have to purchase Showtime in order to get the one month trial "free." Again, I'll have to leave it to others to investigate the details.

Here's the Hulu webpage for the promotion.

I can't find anything here to tell me what you get. I don't know anything about Hulu, so not giving me any info is not a good way to get me to try it.

GtrsRGr8 I know you were joking with this but Thank You for pointing out the second book. My niece is doing a crochet project for school and that book is in Kindle Unlimited so I borrowed it for her.

monkey is very happy with his looks. Perfection can't be repeated, so why bother?

ha. glad you found it helpful. it wasn't specially-priced, though, if i remember correctly--it was regularly priced. guys are not supposed to use the word "cute," but they were.

I'm glad that you have such . . . er . . . strong self-esteem. However, it would be to make us happy, not necessarily you. You see, you post so very often that we see the same ole crocheted monkey over and over and, well, I feel that a makeover is in order to keep the forum from becoming dull.

I had something very interesting happen earlier on an order from Amazon. I was buying Starcraft II: Legacy of the Void since it's on sale. Amazon is showing it as out of stock, but letting people still purchase it, just with no guaranteed shipping date. The price is good (lowest ever) and I'm in no big hurry for the game so I went ahead and bought it.

When I got to the checkout I had a $4.99 Courtesy Credit added. No explanation, and it isn't from some other promo. (I checked my e-mail to see if there were any.) My best guess is it's just a five dollar credit to apologize for the item being out of stock. This made my final price $14.25 with tax and all, making this an exceptionally good deal.

So if you see something on sale out of stock this week at Amazon, try buying it. You might get some extra money taken off!
