Oh, a new thread, sure.

---

Not that this has a lot to do with music, but I was once at Ye Olde Green Mille in Uptown, Minneapolis, when my roommate let slip the fact that she was proud of herself for being a "lacto-ovo vegetarian."

I said, "But you're eating chicken wings right now."

She said, "Right. So I can vegetables and milk and eggs. And animals that make milk and eggs."

If I was a braver man, I would have pointed out that her definition of vegetarianism seemed to encompass omnivorism, but she was the 18-year-old girlfriend of one of my best friends, so i just drank more beer.

Years later, the same dude had a different 18-year-old girlfriend. I wound up living with them, too. At one point, her dad had some sort of micro-stroke that affected his vision.

She was pretty upset about that, and understandably so. I completely empathized with her -- I had just spent a year living with my parents as my father died of lung cancer -- so I told her that if she wanted to talk about it, all she had to do was ask.

She responded, "You just don't know what it's like to have a sick parent!"

I loved that. To this day, it was probably the funniest thing anyone's ever said to me. I couldn't be upset, because it was just too crazy. I cherish those memories.

Genuine belly-laugh at the bingo/end scene:
-------
oft-used buzzwords/phrases at my shitty office:
"carry the ball" which is obviously interchangeable with "dropping the ball"
"action items"
"upward trajectory"
"emplanement" (to board a plane...really)
"empowerment"
"continuous improvement"
the e- prefix as in e-mail
and of course some conjugation of "shifting the paradigm"

I had a one man buzzword bingo session with myself that came to an abrupt halt one day when I got an email that included the sentence "all action item procedures must meet our deliverable expectations for our e-business sector in this fiscal quarter". That email alone made me complete my card. Unfortunately the boredom was catching up to me, so in my bingo winning fervor, I did a mock touchdown dance, slipped and fell on my chair leg and resultingly knocked over an adjacent cube wall. That was the end of buzzword bingo.

Jonathan Chait, who wrote the LAT piece, is the house Dean-hater at the New Republic, a nominally left-centrist, but arguably neo-con, magazine.

The pick should not be viewed primarily through the lens of ideology (and, once again, all together now, Dean has long been a centrist). It's going to be a primarily mechanical position, focused on building the party at the state and local level. Picking Dean brings along the self-acknowledged risk of gaffes, and he's going to try to keep his head down to avoid them. But message can't be ignored. And his is more outspoken.

My favorite reaction had to be the first time I spent over $100 in a record store (a monumental trip that included the first non-major label CDs I ever bought.) So my bag sets off the store alarm, and the security guard calls me over to the register. After checking to make sure I only have the CDs I paid for, he looks at me with a solemn face and says:
"Son, can I be honest with you?"
"Yes"
"You are buying too much music."

My program put on a kalaoke night, and I made a spectacle of myself, which was quite invigorating, which I felt compelled to do because otherwise I wasn't enjoying myself -- all my friends seemed interested in talking to other people, and I had to get attention somehow. Of course, they all went off paired with someone else, and all this happened in proximity to the ongoing tragicomic saga of me and my complete inability to be in the same room with my crush. So I went home and didn't do any of the things that could've cheered me up, because I had vague feelings of responsibility to schoolwork. Then I ambushed someone in my dorm with my troubles.

And today is bright and sunny and not only do I have no one to share it with, I'll be in a library falling asleep instead.

The nice thing about the west is that we're so racially tolerant of the people in our great world cities, mostly the descendants of those whose nations we invaded, ransacked for natural resources and slaves, and then demoted from an empire to a commonwealth and finally to a series of ghettoes in the outskirts of our great cities.

I downloaded this excellent track that seems to be 1980's electro-rap with vocodered vocals. The tag says it's James Brown's Super Bad Parts 1 and 2 off of the Star Time mix. However, I doubt that's correct because it has absolutely nothing in common with that song. I can't make out all of the lyrics, but the phrases "end taxation" and "Reaganomics" are used frequently. Anyone have any guesses as to what this song is?

Another lyric is "Time keeps on changing / always rearranging / Politicians are aging / What price are we paying?"
-- Miki (mkdeo111...), February 7th, 2005.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Project Future, "Ray-Gun-Omics" (Capitol, 1983). Pop-locking voice-bots critique Reagan's foreign and domestic policies over catchy laser-beam synthesizers. Sweating the possibility that our commander-in-chief will reach for the pencil sharpener and elbow "The Button" -- not an uncommon concern back then -- the chorus wonders, "Politicians are aging/What price are we paying?" (The B-side is a funky/cheesy "Pinball Wizard" update called "Arcade Lover" that anticipates Captain Funkaho's recent "My 2600," so maybe we were just pumping our whole allowance into a "Defender" machine.)

Not so much a joke as it a semiserious hate-meme, though compared to the napalm-caliber hateX0r foisted upon them suspender-rockin' Scottish archduke motherfuckers at the end of '04 it seems pretty tame.

Speaking as a still huge fan of "them suspender-rockin' Scottish archduke motherfuckers", I'm actually kinda glad that ILM hates on them as much as they do. I'm always ill at ease whenever I hear of the heaps of accolades and critical acclaim that band gets, because I would totally die (probably just metaphorically) if the band gets to the U2 level of overratedness, so the fact that you guys are out there to provide a counterbalance to all of that is awesome and means that the band won't get an unfair amount of praise.

As for the Excelsior thread -- eh, I have nothing to add. The last time I was quoted here even as a "straight man" was back when the NHL were still playing hockey, San Francisco was still marrying same-sex couples, the Madrid bombings hadn't happened yet, and you-know-who hadn't officially released their album yet. Not that I mind this, mind you -- just means I'm not to participate in the actual excelsioring involved in Excelsior threads. ;)

I was going to transcribe the dream but it will take too long, so here are the salient points:

1. I had a drink with John McLaughlin of the Mahavishnu Orchestra (so this is more of an ILM dream than an ILX dream)

2. Me and my brother went to see the premier performance of John's new piece - which was about Ruth Ellis (you know, the last woman to be hanged in Britain) but was entitled "June Walter Ellis".

3. The performance took place in a shop with the "musicians" sitting behind counters.

4. They did a version of "Take Me Out" by Franz Ferdinand, another song was written by... Brian Auger!

5. As the last piece of music started, a spotty bespectacled nerd stood up in front of the stage/counter and started offering a critique of the night's performance - saying it was regrettable Mr. McLaughlin was not playing "more notes" and, bemoaning the fact that he was no longer playing "skinhead funk", stated, "Playing six notes endlessly - no matter how well played - is not sufficient." (maybe it was Geir?)

6. Part of the performance involved Madonna getting her head shaved.

7. The music consisted of really powerful and melodic feedback drones which "John McLaughlin" was controlling by means of pedals. He did not have a guitar.

8. The rest of the music was coming from a device which was being attended to by several earnest young men - this device, frankly, was a laser printer.

9. I said to my brother, "Can you guess what age he is?" My brother said "34", but it was obvious he was referring to a piece of musical equipment and not to John McLaughlin.

What a dick because all along I knew that he was banging his proper girlfriend behind my flatmate’s porky butt. “He’s working nights tonight” and other such crap would come from her mouth and not once did I feel she deserved the truth because she was dim enough to be humping him anyway.

WHEN B.E.E. GOT UP TO GET A DRINK MY FRIEND SWIPED SOME ENVELOPE OFF HIS TABLE AND WALKED OUT. IN THE ENVELOPE: A JON SPENCER CD, SOME VAMPIRE FANGS AND A LETTER FROM HIS AGENT. WE WERE PSYCHED CUZ NOW WE KNEW HIS ADDRESS (TRIBECA) AND WE DECIDED WE WERE GONNA FUCK WITH HIM. WE DECIDED TO EITHER:

1) TAKE A CLOCK APART TO ITS TINIEST BITS AND SEND HIM ONE PIECE A DAY EVERY DAY FOR LIKE A YEAR FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY
2) TURN HIS PROMO PICTURE INTO A JIGSAW PUZZLE AND SEND HIM ONE PIECE A DAY EVERY DAY AND THE LAST PIECE WOULD BE HIS FOREHEAD AND THERE WOULD BE A BULLETHOLE IN IT!!!!

WE THEN DECIDED THIS COULD BE SEEN AS "THREATENING"

although I have no idea what the 'Drafgon' thread is all about, everytime I read this post from Ned:

Alex and his flock of drafgons
Flying over the land
Killing maidens and saving monsters
He fights with dragon laces
And the drafgons land on the Capitol in Washington
And they utter their war cry
Of "HURRRRRRRRRRRRRRGLE."
And vom on the lawn

I can't help but sing it in a viking/dwarf style drinking song, and it's a hilarious bit of writing.

I adore Gear's hate for Reality Bites. One sample of many:

---

a couple of years ago a friend of mine invited me to a party he was going to. he picked me up and we drove to a house in Silver Lake. We walked around back and into the back yard. There was a porch that required us to climb up some steps, to where we saw a handful of smokers outside chattering away. We reached the steps and we heard a guy say, "Coffee and smokes, man, that's all I need." A girl replied, "Reality Bites, right?" He replied, "Yes!" She said, "AWEsome..." Another guy chimed in, "Fuckin' great movie, dude." And all three said, "Yeah, seriously."

My friend and I looked at one another, shrugged, and turned around and left.

also fuck this movie for assisting the impression that every emaciated fuckwad with a) anger management issues, b) a stringy goatee, c) rudimentary guitar skills, and d) the occasional "life is sort of crazy" phrase accompanied by a faraway, deep look is some sort of charismatic shaman.

13. Speedy. When he turned up in Suicide Squad he looked about thirty and wandered around in combat trousers, red t-shirt and domino mask being a military-advisor version of Green Arrow. When I was small i thought this was ace. I'm still a bit disappointed by the fact that he's essentially been characterised as "He has an addictive YES ADDICTIVE personality, for I NIGHTWING could NEVER be A JUNKIE and neither could Aqualad."

At the very least you get some one-liner like "I can see how Hal might have become ADDICTED to his power, I can see it BECAUSE I USED TO BE A JUNKIE." or "I know a little something about PROBLEMS myself on acount of I USED TO BE A JUNKIE." or "I hate pusher filth like you scum BECAUSE I USED TO BE A JUNKIE." or "I understand the concerns of the liberals, I was once a liberal myself in that I USED TO BE A JUNKIE." or "Pass the salt Speedy YOU JUNKIE."

I thank God every day to have been born in an era of widespread major-seventh chords. Seriously. What the fuck was wrong with
everyone before 1900? How mathematically dogmatic and emotionally stunted do you have to be to deny the chord-dom of the major
seventh? I like to imagine a bunch of folk and music-hall musicians sitting around going “all this major-concert-hall pabulum is so
manufactured. I wanna get into something really abstract and experimental, you know, like major seventh chords.” (Later: "that

Let's be honest here. We all know that Don Johnson is talented, nay, divinely gifted. His performance in 'Miami Vice' was what I like to call a 'Miami Virtue,' and as for his voice-acting in the flawless 'G.I. Joe: The Movie?' "Golly!" is all I have to say about that.

Could there have been any doubt that this man's voice was an untapped well of rugged ululations meant not to grace the lowly auditory canals of mankind, but to overwhelm and silence the archangels and the godless alike in repentant tears of joy and rapture?

I think not.

Do yourself a favor. You must. I implore you. Buy 'Heartbeat [IMPORT],' and...live.

I think the article raises some interesting questions. When we hate our iGods, are we hating the player -- or are we hating the game? And just what is the game in this case? An Orwellian mash-up of post-meta Monopoly tokens and spent Russian Roulette shells? Each of those cigarette-sized data-bricks is, indeed, a sort of cyber-cancer, dangled like Proust's carrot just out of reach for the twixter-hipster whose veins pump jet-fuel. Also, when the dogs do smell her, will they smell alone?

There was a physics teacher I had for GCSE too, who I didn't hate exactly, not until I realised he would be responsible for me failing
physics. I once had to explain to him why Neptune and Pluto weren't going to crash into one another as he claimed. He kept pointing
at some solar system diagrams, talking as if I was stupid and showing me where the orbits cross. Trying to teach a physics teacher that
the solar system is in fact 3 dimensional was much more difficult than you'd think. There was a test question he had the wrong answer
for that involved getting the solar system diagrams out too, we had to name the nearest planet to Earth. In the news at the time there
was something about either Mars or Venus being visible in the sky, making that one the most likely to be nearest. There was another
planetary debate that followed, about how they don't all go around the sun in a straight line like in the picture, and that the planet he
was claiming to be closest could be the other side of the sun at the moment whereas the one I claimed to be closest was near enough
for us to be able to see it. Oh, and there was the time I asked him if he was sure he meant the 15th century, and not the 17th, which
resulted in him writing out all the centuries on the board, "The 0 hundreds were the first century, the 1 hundreds were the second
century", and so on. Being a slow writer this took him about 10 minutes. I know I was probably the dislikable smartarse of the class
for correcting him all the time, but it got to the point where everyone else just wanted to pass this subject and loved any chance anyone
got to point out he was an idiot.

*spoilers spoilers spoilers*
not the shot on its own, but the entire sequence it's embedded, is in look and speed and content anti-narrative (in terms of the actual narrative): instead it's an interrogation of another story — actually here not as "fiercely inadequate" as jean seberg or lee in other movies — which "abstracts itself" the more you think of it afterwards (into a kind of generous cartoon of Grand American Narrative of Possible Freedom or something), and in fact "cools off" the rest of the story, or rather, contextualises it in a broader way

it's a long way from godardian technique now (and lee was always a long way from godardian politico-tic), so you could say it's spike's own as a device to play with now, but the role of that section — yes yes also a scorseaholic's hommage to last temptation's best known coup — is somewhat like i think what farber is getting at, re godard, in that passage

in other words: you have the story and it clips along, until these bits where the director takes out a flipchart and some coloured magic markers and interrupts the plot proper to bulletpoint "wider" stuff (in breathless, it's actually pre-politico-godard, that's part of farber's specific argument, semi-relevant maybe to 25th hour's "post-political" lee maybe, in an upside-down way but i'm too tired to work that bit out)

How come sarah wont go out with me?

As you all may know, Sarah, a girl here, has won my undying infatuation due in no small partto here intrest in the playstation game Vib Ribbon. I sent her a email, with a link to pics of the game's sequel... to no response.

Now people, why is it that this girl wont give me the benifit of the doubt? Just ask Mike Hanle y, I'm not grotesque. When I shave my head, I resemble David Justice (hey, that ryhmes).

I just want to reward her for her good mind. I really think she seems super. I mean, a date can have motives of horny evil. My motive is not like that. I'm motiuvated by a need to let her know she is a champion, by treating her as such.

Maybe she thinks men are bad.

ARGH!!!!!

It just makes me love my job more when people are screwed up. I work with the mentally ill and the mentally retarded. They are a simple folk, I aspire to "let go" like they do.

They're like the wind. They're liiiike the wiiiiiiind...........

I'm not creepy! I'm child-like and tactless. People tend to confuse the two.

And of course I'm going to blurt it out here. It's good conversation. I mean, if I REALLY wanted to date her, I'd be A) creepy, because I don't know her B) desperate, because I don't know her and C) Stupid, because I don't know her.

The real question is, why does she not entertain the mild flirtatiousness? Do I write sucky? Do I write like a sucky looking man?

And on the topic of crazy and retarded people, I think it not at all condisending to call them "simple folk". It's just not. A spade is a spade. More so, I like them that way.

But if the man who implied that the "simple folk" statement was the source of the rejection had intended his statement to mean that Sarah doesn't like simple people, as opposed to impling that I'm a jerk for making such a rude remark, then God bless her. Anyone who wants complicated people in their lives should be dragged out of there independant film channel viewing rooms and shot.

Is Sarah too scared to talk on the topic? Perhaps I am a demon for asking this question. Perhaps it brings up dark water from the poor girls depths. Who can say?

Happosai!

A penis is just one of those things. If you make the decision to look at someone's penis, particularly the penis of a famous person, you are kind of obliged to pass comment in one way or another. You can't simply acknowledge, without judgement, that there was indeed a penis and then go on with life. It is a trap!

From the Daily Telegraph:
The Queen: Have you been playing long? Eric Clapton: It must be about 45 years now
By Neil Tweedie
(Filed: 01/03/2005)
Pundits pronounce almost daily on the workings of the Queen’s mind, but few people really know her likes and dislikes. As of last night, however, there is at least one certainty: Her Majesty has quite clearly never been a fan of virtuoso electric guitar.

This fact became painfully obvious as the monarch engaged in conversation with some of the greatest exponents of the art produced by Britain during a reception at Buckingham Palace celebrating the country’s music industry.

And what do you do? The Queen meets Eric Clapton

It started when Brian May of Queen pointed out that it had been his honour to play the national anthem during the rock concert held at the palace in 2002 to mark the Golden Jubilee. “Oh! That was you was it?” replied a surprised monarch, before moving swiftly on to Jimmy Page.

Quite a lot of people would swoon in the presence of such a talent, but the Queen managed somehow to control her excitement. “Are you a guitarist too?” she asked of the Led Zeppelin megastar, as if addressing a member of the 1st Haywards Heath Scouts Band. He nodded.

Eric Clapton was taking no chances and, shaking the Queen firmly by the hand, introduced himself by name. “Have you been playing a long time?” the Queen asked, obviously none the wiser. “It must be 45 years now,” replied a non-plussed blues giant.

Next was Jeff Beck, like Clapton and Page a former Yardbird. Her Majesty was duly informed of the fact. “We’re all from Surrey,” added Clapton, grasping for some point of commonality. Luckily, the Queen had heard of Surrey. Clapton was philosophical as he munched his canapé.

“It’s great to meet her - and it doesn’t matter at all that she did not know who we are or what we do. I wouldn’t expect her to.” Some 500 guests were invited to the reception, and all except Geri Halliwell managed to turn up on time. The former Spice Girl breached protocol by arriving 40 minutes late — and, more importantly, after the Queen.

Phil Collins, who was also present, recounted his meeting with the Queen during a tribute concert for Nelson Mandela. “Before the concert she told me ‘I hope you’re not going to be too loud’. “Her only comment afterwards was ‘yes it was actually’.”

1. Thou shalt not lollygag in the middle of the sidewalk when I am hurrying to work or scurrying therefrom.
2. Woe betide he who fails to tip their bartender for they shall know much gnashing of teeth, wailing and lamentation.
3. Thou shalt not volunteer details of your ailments and sickness to me when I barely know thee. Verily I will add thereto if thou heedest not this advice.
4. We cannot get off the omnibus or the elevator machine until thou gettest out of our fornicating way, imbecile. The Lord shall surely smite thee down.
5. If thou insist on speaking loudly into thy telephonic device on the omnibus and sharing thy sexual vices or thy familial vicissitudes with me, I shall smite thee heartily and the Lord will curse thee and cleave thy tongue to the roof of thy mouth which will make it hard to drink thy soda which thou shouldst not have on the omnibus anyway.
6. If thou canst not refrain from high-fiving in my face and great ourbursts of braying like an ass when quaffing thy ale, I will remind thee by crushing thy testes like the millstone crushes the corn.
7. When a maiden does not suffer thee to juggle her bosom or pinch her or endure thy kisses, thou shalt not infer that she is a Sodomite lest thou wishes the Lord and I to get all Biblical on thy stupid buttocks. Also, do not hate the men who lay down with other men for they will teach thy wife many important things and help thee look like less of a Philistine.
8. Pray to the Lord but thinkest not that He will suspend His laws just because thou hast fucked up.
9. Beware the man who would divide thee from thy neighbor and thy brethren by claiming the Lord is on his side alone. The Lord does not like to be told what He thinks or what He will do and some day the false prophet shall have horned toads, embers, burrs, pine cones from Lebanon, and the horn of the eland violently inserted into his rectum for displeasing the Majesty of the Creator.
10. If thou needest a list to regulate thy behavior and knowest not how to desport thyself, thou art full a fool and this list may not change that overmuch.

Boy: (out loud to the girl) Wow, look at that, my ipod tag says Beastie Boys but this song is by Jimmy Smith.
Girl raises eyebrows
Boy: I know what happened here. This beat is very similiar to a Beastie Boys one, perhaps they sampled it. That's why I mistagged it.
Girl: Oh.
Boy: Do you ever have problems tagging?
Girl: I don't worry about it.
Boy: I could help you tag, are you on your way home?
Girl: I don't know you.
Boy: You could get to know-

Q. Do Hair and Nails Continue to Grow After Death?

Your Guide, Michele Baskin-Jones From Michele Baskin-Jones,
Your Guide to Death and Dying.
FREE Newsletter. Sign Up Now!

A.
Many people believe that a person's hair, fingernails and toenails continue to grow after death. Despite what you may have read or seen in the
movies, this is false. Once a person has died all growth of the hair and nails ceases. After death the body dehydrates and the skin around the hair
and nails will recede a little making it appear as the deceased's nails and hair have grown. However, it is only an optical illusion. The nails and hair
remains the same length as before but more of it is exposed due to tissue shrinkage.

Vince Neil is presented with the opportunity to remake himself in preparation for one ultimate goal: a grand finale concert that could re-launch his career.

Vin plays Michel Foucault in "Foucault To Lose".

Set in 1970s San Francisco, Vin Diesel plays brilliant French philosopher Michel Foucault, forced to assume the identity of a gay man in order to infiltrate the notorious bathhouse scene. A serial killer is at large, murdering senior members of the Republican party in the style of mid-18th Century French regicides. Only one man - Foucault - is able to deconstruct the semiology behind these slayings.

a former roommate of mine was prone to using our land line to talk to his girlfriend who was in the Peace Corps in Africa for an average of four hours per day. This was troublesome because my other roommate and I sometimes needed to use the phone, and chatroomie would fall asleep with the phone by his side, tucked against his ear. Eventually it became so bad that whenever the phone rang, he would emerge from his room, grab it before we could reach it, and say "hello?" whilst walking to his room. Most of the time it was in fact his girlfriend, but sometimes it wasn't and he would sheepishly give one of us the phone. In the end she dumped him from Africa because he was "too clingy". We found him in the vacant lot next to our apartment building burning a few possessions she had given him, including some CDs. I advised him--too late--that rather than destroying the CDs, he should have sold them. He put his hand on my shoulder, narrowed his eyes, and hissed, "If my love dies, so do the CDs." I accused him of being "goth" and he made a move to smack me. I ducked and managed to flip him over and neutralize him with a quick blow to the solar plexus. As he gasped for air, I told him I felt bad about his ordeal but if he tried that again, "I'll make a necktie out of your spinal column."

okay, I started embellishing somewhere in that story, but it's basically true.

Well-known San Francisco software company - two employees were having an affair. Somehow the married man's wife's SISTER found out how to access the entire company's email and send out this bizarre missive to everyone that worked for the company, including European satellite offices etc... hundreds of employees:

"When they started the affair he put us through emotional and mental abuse- he lied to everyone, his prior boss and co-workers, his friends, his family and himself. B--- and J--- have been in a relationship- he and her have stated that they love each other- they have put us through enough. They lie, they have ruined a family unit- 3 children and hurt their mother deeply. We have a daughter, she is 6 (5 at the time of the affair)- and he has taken her with his boss to continue this affair- while still living at home with his family. She has visited her home and said it was a small house, she has a black kitty, she has heart shaped pillows, and power puff posters (2), she has a heart lamp which glows red, lots of make-up, she does not like to eat fat things, and her daddy gave her a massage. They (B--- and J---) have been to a motel, dinner, lunch, on outings, and romantically involved. This is beyond the professional work ethics and should be recognized as such..."

The woman, naturally, walked out of the office and never returned.

If you know the Lord, nothing will shake your faith. It is true that the man with an experience is not at the mercy of a man with an argument. Take for example a little boy who is looking at a heater. His father warns him that it's hot. The child says, "O.K. I believe it's hot." At that point, he has an intellectual belief that the heater is hot. When his Dad leaves the room, he says, "I wonder if it really is hot?" He then reaches out his little hand and grabs the heater bar with his fingers. The second his flesh burns he stops believing the heater is hot. He now knows it's hot! He has moved out of the realm of "faith" into the realm of "experience."

In comes a heater expert and says, "Son, I have a B.A. in the study of heat. The heater is definitely not hot. I can prove it to you." The child would probably say, "Mr Expert, I don't care how many B.A.'s you have. I know that heater is hot -- I touched it! I'm not in the realm of belief, I'm in the realm of experience. Goodbye."

If you have touched the heater bar of God's love and forgiveness, if the Holy Spirit has "born witness" that you are a child of God (Romans 8:16), if you have received the Gospel with "power, the Holy Ghost and much assurance" (1 Thessalonians 1:5), you will never be shaken by a skeptic.

I heard something about VW having "ideas" about electic cars that couple up, to each other, so only the one at the front needs to use power (I don't know how this would actually work).

This is the way to go, you see. All the cars couple up, and little doors at the front and back open up, an aisle forms, and they become trains. Those tense, rude, stressed drivers get up, stretch, and go to the buffet for a beer.

A final note to the Republican leadership in the House and Senate: You have to pull out all the stops. You have to run over your chairmen if they're being obstructionist for this niggling reason and that. Run over their egos, run past their fatigue. You have to win on this. If you don't, you can't imagine how much you're going to lose. And from people who have faith in you.

Bill Frist and Tom DeLay and Jim Sensenbrenner and Denny Hastert and all the rest would be better off risking looking ridiculous and flying down to Florida, standing outside Terri Schiavo's room and physically restraining the poor harassed staff who may be told soon to remove her feeding tube, than standing by in Washington, helpless and tied in legislative knots, and doing nothing.

I didn't start watching the show until the Josh Dodes band was already gone. But when I saw the Battle of the Bands episode between Harlow, Soulcracker and Flickerstick, I was hooked....on Flickerstick! They were awesome compared to the other two. Soulcracker always sounded so tinny – and what's with the guitar strings sticking out all over the place? And Beastie! How many bands out there have a guy (that's not the lead singer) that doesn't do anything but run around the stage? Harlow wasn't as bad as people make them out to be, but I'm not in to gloomy goth type music anymore. Then there was Sutton, always sitting with his legs crossed, speaking to his bandmates with this condescending tone. I got so nervous watching the last Battle of the Bands show, because VH1 really stacked the show with signs that Soulcracker was going to win. I had to keep telling myself that there was no way that Flickerstick could lose cuz their live show was too unbeatable. Fortunately I was right! I have to say that I saw Soulcracker perform live here in Detroit. I was at a Friday night boat races party at a club on the riverfront, and I knew that Soul was scheduled to perform there on Saturday. While my sister and I were walking around, we saw Sutton and he stopped us and gave us tickets to the show. We talked to him for a little while and he was very nice (and a lot cuter in person than he looks on the show). I told him I was interested in hearing them live, because I thought they sounded like crap on the show. Plus I was going to be seeing Flickerstick at another club in Detroit 2 weeks from then, and I would be able to really compare the 2 with my own ears. Well, we went to the Soul show the next night and they were fun to watch. There is a lot more interaction between Sutton and Beastie than you saw on the show and they're quite entertaining and seem to be having a great time. AP is animated as well, but Ramsey is pretty boring. Some of the songs are all right, but when the show was over I could barely remember most of what I'd heard. Nothing really stuck with me. I figured that if they at least sounded better than they did on the show that could only mean one thing – that Flickerstick would sound really good! AND THEY DID! They're show was one of the best I've ever seen! They are all great performers. The club they were at had no air conditioning and it was about 92 degrees outside and probably over 100 inside. But you hardly noticed because you couldn't take your eyes off of them. They came outside after the show to sign autographs, be photographed, etc. and were very down- to-earth and polite. I think they may be a little shell-shocked with the popularity they are experiencing so suddenly as a result of being on the show. I just hope they continue to write great music and become the kind of big stars that they wish to be!

Iraq was fucked long before he got into power - largely because of the British influence on its soil and the British desire to implement a Monarchy when the Iraqi people did not want one - especially not one with oil loyalties to a foreign power.
Saddam did do some things consiered forward thinking by the West at the time... equality for women, access for females to university, no need for women to cover up etc - things largely frowned upon by neighbouring Iran and also Saudi Arabia et al.

As a dictator, however, he was right up there - let's make no mistake about it. A horrible and dangerous man - his crimes were repulsive - both towards Iran and his own people.

The difficulty comes when you have squaddies coming into the country and running riot. I met one who actually told me it was great to "liberate" Iraq because the women were no longer under islamic rule and could burn their head dress.... uhm... what an idiot. But these are the people in charge of the country now and, inevitably, Islamic extremism from neighbouring countries has now entered Iraq and made it even more unstable.

But this is getting a bit off topic - yes, Saddam was a monster. I don't think many people will miss him.

when in csi: scoobydoo and the old ones actual real cthulhu breaks through from an eldritch dimension to menace you, he graps the top of his hideous tentacled and indescribable face and and rips off what proves to be a rubber mask and underneath it is caruso

Meanwhile, a beautiful simplicity:

---

Oh where can I get my cock sucked?
Where can I get my ass fucked?
I may have no money,
but I know where to put it every time

Well, I asked a young policeman
if he'd only lock me up for the night
Well, I've had pigs in the farmyard,
some of them, some of them, they're alright
Well, he fucked me with his truncheon
and his helmet was way too tight

I went to the diner for lunch and I wanted pie. The waitress said they had three types: "bluebeddy, cranbeddy, and apple." I never had cranbeddy pie before so I ordered that. Guess what? It wasn't cranbeddy. It was CHEDDY. Plain ol cheddy pie. Damnit.

I admit I've only been vaguely paying attention but it looks like longtime strongman Askar Akayev is out. I've sorta been wondering how long it would take the various Soviet-era dudes who installed themselves as presidents in the various Central Asian republics would last. Hmm.

The main problems are with the XML library files used by iTunes. XML is just like HTML in that if a single character of code, like a "[greater than symbol]", is missing/corrupted then the entire file after that point becomes unreadable. Considering how often your iTunes library file is modified/updated this is bound to happen eventually.

The best way to prevent this is to periodically BACKUP your iTunes library file. Find out where it's hiding and make a dated copy that you can roll back to if your shit gets fucked up.

And backup your playlists too, as they will also go bye-bye if your library file calls it quits.
