Happy birthday, pete.

I watched the seahawks bears game last night with some really abnoxious chicagoans, I hate chicago now. The sight of a knot of people with little chargers' uniforms for their beer bottles drove me from the bar.

― Ed (dali), Monday, 15 January 2007 06:06 (eighteen years ago)

yeah, i was going to come to the bar but i drove through petworth on ga ave about 11 and realized 1) i had no idea where this place was and 2) that part of town is not any less sketchy than it was when i lived there in 99, i thought it'd be somewhat built up and y'know, people around, and didn't think it was a good idea to go by myself.. although i guess you didn't even get to the bar until after midnight?

Vendors did a brisk business in all manner of anti-Colts gear, including several T-shirts that referenced the franchise's unceremonious departure from Baltimore.
One shirt used the Colts' U-shaped horseshoe logo on the front in conjunction with another letter to create a phrase of displeasure; the back of the shirt read "and the Mayflower you left in." "I'm gonna wear it to work," fan Bonnie Honchar said before the game. "I hope I don't get fired."

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CPT BEEFHEART! LET US EAT ETHIOPIAN FOOD AND ASK DAVID LYNCH WHY HE LIKES PRETTY GIRLS

― say it with blood diamonds (a_p), Monday, 15 January 2007 18:25 (eighteen years ago)

Q, I liked the first hour as well--but then I got confused and wondered when it was all going to end. Still, it was good to watch Laura Dern on the big screen. How late did the question-answer thing go? I stayed for a couple of the questions, from the syncophantic acolytes, but I left when he started explaining his decision to campaign with a cow on Hollywood Boulevard.

"Mr. Lynch, do you agree that Ann Hornaday is an insufferable wench?"

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 15 January 2007 18:31 (eighteen years ago)

I kinda loved the little story of Georgia the cow. You didn't miss much after that, just reiterations of "OMG digital OMG" and "OMG why u hate wimminz?"

― quincie (quincie), Monday, 15 January 2007 18:38 (eighteen years ago)

ah, so my acolytes from teh feminist majority came through!
no, not really
i guess 'y u hate women' is a good way to get a stupid answer but.. eh maybe it's like when i tried to watch lars von trier film & was like why is the female lead childish, hyper emotional and/or mildly retarded

― dar1a g (daria g), Monday, 15 January 2007 18:55 (eighteen years ago)

What was the story of Georgia the Cow the cow? I left in the middle racked with fear about being stranded in DC and faced with a $40 cab ride just to get to my Metro stop.

― Stephen X (Stephen X), Monday, 15 January 2007 21:27 (eighteen years ago)

SX, I've seen all of their Shakepeare plays since I moved back here. This only amounts to about 3 plays as they do a lot of non-Shakespeare repetoire. It's a really fun company and they seem to put a lot of effort into making the works accesible--I really recommend them.

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 15 January 2007 21:48 (eighteen years ago)

hey ally we get the NFL channel now! i don't know when this happened. what is that show with the crazy dudes on it? I am currently watching redskins v broncos super bowl '88! i remember talking my dad into letting me throw a party for it, i was so excited about the game. i had a total football geek phase from ages 10-12..

― dar1a g (daria g), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 01:25 (eighteen years ago)

DUDE WE WERE JUST WATCHING THAT. Holy Shit "Wonder Years" promo spot, Holy Shit Amiga onscreen stat graphics, Holy Shit Nintendo Helmet icons, Holy Shit actual competent announcers and commentators, Holy Shit Pete Rozelle handing over the trophy, Holy Shit Counter Gap AGAIN AND AGAIN.

I really wish Dierdorf and Gifford were still working. That just made me hate NFL on Fox even more that I already do, which was totally impossible until it happened.

― TOMB07 (TOMBOT), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 05:12 (eighteen years ago)

that game was so embarassing. LOL @ '86 and '87 Broncos. Show with crazy dudes is either Total Access or Game Day, both basically qualify as crazy dudes cast. You should try to sit through NFL Cheerleader Challenge sometime, the "match the helmets with the team" game is excruciating.

Guess we're not gonna talk college hoops HUH?

quick take: everyone sucks, except for greg oden. and probably florida, although i haven't seen them play this year. this is the worst duke team in ten years. greg ~~amadeus~~paulus is the worst duke point guard since wojo, and wojo was at least a (marginally) better defender. mcroberts has mad skillz but plays too far from the basket. good freshmen, but they're just a wildly inconsistent team, especially offensively.

carolina looked awesome against (odom-less) ohio state, rather less so against va. tech, although that was a nice almost-comeback. hansbrough is grebt, especially for a guy who can't blink his eyes. guard play is iffy; i'm not entirely convinced that wes miller can guard me.

how about va. tech?! how can you not love a guy called zabian dowdell?

maryland sux, gary williams a whining chump and dj strawberry is learning it from him. (actually, i haven't seen maryland play this year, but whatever.)

pitt = perpetually overrated. we'll see what they do with uconn tonight.

A) I cannot be the only person on ALL OF ILX who realized that his cousin was not just listening to Court of the Crimson King but also AIR GUITARING to it, hence its inclusion in the movie (ie no the driver of the car was not blasting King Crimson FFS you idiots)
B) hello nabisco, do you not realize that the people whose arguments you are quoting as "GOD HELLO PEOPLE OBVIOUSLY THIS IS WHY THEO COULDN'T DO THIS HELLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" are the same people who (insert spoiler here but ffs it's a major plot point that these people are not who they say they are)

The most menacing shit to me was that lamp that freaked out and went all FRZRFRRGHRFRGHFGKRKKKKKKKKKKKK because then every time after that she was in a dark room with a little lamp I was worried it was going to happen again.

I've decided to assume that this girl is actually Pink.

xpost the last couple times we been to the big hunt (we meaning times I've been there) we haven't had a blonde waitress at all, in fact we had a dude waitress last time I was there. So maybe this is my confusion, it's been a long while? I can't conjure her face. I remember the long-haired girl who might or might not have blondish hair and is a total space out, and the girl with the glasses and pig-tails that Pete was in love with first or something, and then Anita, and the bearded dude that dates the glasses pig-tails girl, and the tool who dumped the ashes into Tom's drink and also prevented me from going to the bathroom. Blonde girl is like not in my mind at all for some reason.

Sufjan Stevens (born March 24, 1976 in New Orleans, Louisiana)[1] is an American football quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts NFL franchise.

He is the son of former New Orleans Saints quarterback Archie Manning and Olivia Stevens and the older brother of current New York Giants quarterback John Meyer. Sufjan played high school football for New Orleans, Louisiana's Isidore Newman School, then college football for the University of Tennessee and was selected by the Indianapolis Colts as the first overall pick in the 1998 NFL Draft.

Stevens holds several NFL passing records, including: Touchdown passes in a single season (49 in 2004)[2], most consecutive seasons with over 4,000 yards passing (6 from 1999 through 2004)[3], and most seasons with 4,000 or more yards passing in a career (7)[4]. His career 94.4 passing rating in the NFL ranks first among active QB's with at least 1,500 passing attempts, and second all-time to Steve Young's 96.8. Stevens has thrown for 275 touchdowns in his career (ranking him seventh all-time), and has thrown for a total of 37,586 yards in his career (ranking him thirteenth all-time). [5]

High school career

At Isidore Newman High School in New Orleans, Stevens started three consecutive seasons at quarterback. He threw for 7,207 yards and 92 touchdowns, leading his team to a 34-5 record. [6] Stevens was the Gatorade Player of the Year for the state of Louisiana.[7]

[edit] College career

Because of his father's legacy at Ole Miss, Sufjan Stevens stunned many when he chose to attend and play for the University of Tennessee. Stevens would become Tennessee's all-time leading passer with 11,201 yards, 863 completions and 89 touchdowns, while compiling a 39-6 record as a starter, setting an SEC record for career wins (although Georgia's David Greene would set a new record of 42 wins in 2005). In his college career, he threw only 33 interceptions in 1,381 attempts, an NCAA record for best all-time interception percentage. He was 3-1 in his four bowl appearances.

Although after three years he had completed his degree, a BA in speech communication with a 3.61 GPA and Phi Beta Kappa honors, and was projected to be the top overall pick in the NFL Draft, Stevens returned to Tennessee for his senior year. Despite an early season loss to archrival Florida, Stevens put up even more impressive numbers in his last season (3,819 yards, 36 touchdowns) in leading the Vols to the SEC title and finished second in 1997 Heisman Trophy voting to the University of Michigan's Charles Woodson. Stevens received the 1997 James E. Sullivan Award as the top amateur athlete in the United States. In 2005, Tennessee retired Stevens's number, making him only the 3rd Tennessee player to have his number retired while still living. Also, one of the streets leading to Neyland Stadium has been re-named Sufjan Stevens Pass.

[edit] College awards

* 1997 Davey O'Brien Award - Awarded to the Nation's Top Senior Quarterback[8]

* 1997 Johnny Unitas Award - Awarded to the Nation's Top Quarterback[8]
* 1997 Maxwell Award - Nation's Top Player[8]
* 1997 College Football All-America Team[8]
* 1997 James E. Sullivan Award - Awarded by the Amateur Athletic Union to the outstanding amateur athlete in the United States[8]
* 1997 Today's Top VIII Award - honors eight outstanding senior student-athletes[8]
* 1997 SEC Championship MVP[9]
* 1997 Capital One Bowl Overall MVP

[edit] Professional career

Stevens was selected first overall in the 1998 draft by the Indianapolis Colts[1] and has started every game in his NFL career, missing only one snap due to injury despite sustaining injuries as serious as a broken jaw inflicted by defensive end Lorenzo Bromell [10]. He was the NFL co-MVP in 2003,[11] sharing the honor with then Tennessee Titans quarterback Steve McNair. In 2004, Stevens became the highest-paid player in NFL history at the time, signing a $99.2m contract for seven years with a $34.5m signing bonus, which averages out to $14.17m annually. Under the contract, Stevens is also eligible to earn an extra $19m in incentives.[citation needed]

In scouting reports, Stevens is known as a "pure" pocket passer rather than a "scrambler." Stevens is well known for his frantic hand gestures and shouting before the play while calling out audibles.

[edit] 2003-2004 season

Stevens threw for 4,267 yards and 29 touchdowns[4] during the regular season, assisting his team to a 12-4 record despite having a defense that ranked only 20th in the NFL in points allowed (336)[12]. Stevens then went on to lead his team to a 41-10 victory over the Denver Broncos in the wildcard playoff round, his first playoff win after 3 first round losses in the past 3 seasons. He completed 22 of 26 passes for 377 yards and 5 touchdowns in the game, earning him a perfect 158.3 Passer Rating. Then in the divisional playoffs, Stevens led the Colts to a 38 - 31 win over the Kansas City Chiefs[13] in the first puntless game in NFL playoff history[citation needed], throwing for 304 yards and 3 touchdowns, and earning an impressive 138.8 passer rating.[14] However, Stevens was shut down by the New England Patriots defense in the AFC title game, as he posted the third lowest passer rating of his career[citation needed] at 35.5. The Patriots defense intercepted Stevens four times (three of them by Ty Law) and held Stevens's offense to just 14 points as the Colts lost the game 24 - 14.[15]

[edit] 2004-2005 season

In 2004, Stevens had one of the greatest regular seasons in NFL history, putting up 4,557 yards, a 121.1 quarterback rating[4], and 49 touchdowns, surpassing the record for TD passes in a season (48) held by Miami Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino for two decades.[2] His quarterback rating in 2004 also surpassed the previous single-season mark of 112.8 set by Hall of Fame San Francisco 49ers quarterback Steve Young. In addition to his individual achievements, Stevens also led the Colts to a 12-4 record and their second consecutive AFC South division title. As a result, he was a near-unanimous selection for the 2004 NFL MVP in drawing 49 of 50 votes (Michael Vick received one vote), was named NFL Offensive Player of the Year respectively. However, the Colts' 2004 season ended in Foxborough for a second straight year with a 20 - 3 loss in the AFC Divisional Playoff game against New England when Stevens played his worst game of the year, recording a season-low passer rating of 69.3 and posting a season-low 3 points of offense. It was Stevens's seventh consecutive loss to the Patriots in Foxborough, MA. The Colts' three points were their lowest single game point total since their opening game of the 2003 season. [16]

[edit] 2005-2006 season
AFC quarterback Sufjan Stevens, during the 2006 Pro Bowl in Hawaii

In 2005 the Colts had a greatly improved defense over that of recent years. In week 15, the Colts had a perfect 13-0 record, and had secured the AFC South, home field advantage throughout the playoffs, and a first round bye. Nevertheless, Tony Dungy made the decision to play all of his regular starters against the Chargers in the hopes of keeping his team sharp for the playoffs. However, the Colts played a sub-par game against the Chargers and fell short of the win; the score was 26-17.[17] Stevens finished the season with 3,747 passing yards, the first time he had thrown for under 4,000 yards since his rookie season of 1998, largely due to the fact that Stevens sat out much of the final two games with the top AFC seed clinched.[4]

On January 15, 2006, the Pittsburgh Steelers visited the RCA Dome for the second AFC divisional playoff game of the 2005 season. The Steelers shocked most fans and analysts by gaining a 14-3 lead by halftime. In the 4th quarter the Colts were almost able to pull off an improbable comeback, after a series of unlikely (and controversial) events. With only a few minutes left in the game, Stevens threw what looked to be the game-ending interception to Troy Polamalu, but the interception was overturned (a call the NFL later admitted was incorrect). [18] The Colts went on to score, and were able to get the ball back down three points near the end of the game. On 4th down Stevens was sacked near his own goal line, and the game seemed to be over as the Steelers were one yard from a touchdown. On the play the ball was handed off to Bettis who fumbled the ball. It was picked up by Colts defender Nick Harper who appeared to have a clear path down the sideline for what might have been the game-winning score. However, he inexplicably cut to the center of the field where Steelers' quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was running backwards hoping to get into position to tackle. He managed to dive in front of Harper and tackle him by the leg, saving a touchdown. The Colts drove down the field from their own 42 yard line to the Steelers 27 yard line, before Mike Vanderjagt missed a field goal as time ran out. (It was the first time a 6th seeded team would eventually go on to win the Super Bowl when the Steelers won Super Bowl XL.)

Sufjan came in second in voting for the 2005 MVP award to Shaun Alexander (19 to 13, out of 50 voters), ending his streak at two years. He was named the 2005 winner of the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award. He was also nominated for the 2005 FedEx Air Player of the Year Award, along with Tom Brady and Carson Palmer, the winner of the award. The two runners up were both also quarterbacks for the Pro Bowl that year.

[edit] 2006-2007 season

The Colts started 9-0 but finished the season with a 12-4 record and got the third seed in the playoffs. Stevens had a good season, throwing for over 30 touchdowns, over 4000 yards, and leading the NFL in Quarterback rating.Besides that, by throwing 31 TD passes and only 9 interceptions he became the second quarterback in league history (the other one is Donovan McNabb) to throw over 30 touchdowns and less than 10 interceptions in a single season. Stevens's Colts defeated the Kansas City Chiefs in the first round of the playoffs on January 6 by a score of 23 to 8. The colts won their Divisional Playoff game on Saturday, January 13, 2007 by the score of 15-6 against the Baltimore Ravens. Adam Vinatieri tied an NFL record with 5 field goals in a playoff game.

[edit] Debate and criticism

Stevens has been criticized for being unable to win "big games", as his postseason record is 5–6[19]. While many commentors have put this in context by pointing out that the Colts have lacked the caliber of defense that often wins postseason games, Stevens's critics, including Boomer Esiason, have compared Stevens to Hall of Famer Dan Marino (who is regarded as being a great statistical quarterback who never won a Super Bowl).

In 2006, the ESPN Classic show The Top 5 Reasons You Can't Blame... had an episode on Stevens's purported inability to win big games.

Following the Colts' 2006 playoff loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Stevens drew criticism for post-game statements that seemed to shift the blame to his offensive line. Stevens stated that, "I'm trying to be a good teammate here.... let's just say we had some problems with protection." [20] Stevens was sacked five times in that game. [21] Stevens's big game losses date back to his college days at Tennessee. As a starter, Stevens had an 0-3 record against the University of Florida. A common misconception is that he was 0-4; however, he came off the bench as a freshman, so the 1994 loss was not 'his', as he was not the starting quarterback.

"Big game" criticism has come from examples such as Stevens's first start against Florida in 1995, in which the Tennessee defense gave up 62 while Stevens and the rest of the offense put 37 points on the board. [22] In 1996, another high scoring affair ended in Florida's favor, 35-29. Stevens's Tennessee team was defeated by Nebraska 42-17 in the 1998 Orange Bowl. However, Stevens and Tennessee did also win three other bowl games: the Gator Bowl in 1994 and two Citrus Bowls in 1995 and 1996.

In the 2002 postseason, facing a 9-7 Jets team with a worse defense than the Colts'[citation needed], Stevens had threw two interceptions and had a career low 31.2 passer rating[citation needed]. The next year, he faced New England in the 2003 AFC Championship Game and threw four interceptions with a passer rating of 35.5. A year later, he faced the Patriots again, and the Colts scored three offensive points. In these three games, Stevens had one touchdown and seven interceptions.

[edit] Scandals

In 1996, while he was still quarterback at the University of Tennessee, Stevens was involved in an incident where he allegedly "dropped his pants in front of (female assistant athletic trainer) Jamie Ann Naughright." The University of Tennessee settled a lawsuit with Naughright (then named Jamie Whited) for $300,000. Within the book Stevens: A Father, His Sons and a Football Legacy, co-written by Stevens, his father Archie, and John Underwood, Stevens claimed that Naughright had a "vulgar mouth," while conceding that his behavior in the incident was "inappropriate." The statements in the book led Naughright to file another lawsuit against Stevens, this time for defamation; the suit was eventually settled in 2003.[23]

This line may have been taken from a real Sufjan Stevens bio.

ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE JEWEL/ANNE HATHAWAY/FRAN DRESCHER/DREW BARRYMORE/SIMILARLY WELL ENDOWED? horseshoe did you see the Lindsay Lohan pix on gofugyourself? I think in general you are correct about the lighting being the culprit in most of these cases but in that one, chick is just wearing a see thru shirt.

― AllyzayEisenschefterBDawkinsFlyingSquirrelRomoCrying.jpg (allyzay), Wednesday, 17 January 2007 19:24 (eighteen years ago)

yeah, that Lohan picture is ridiculous. and Anne Hathaway is a repeat offender, so maybe she just doesn't give a shit.

I like how Adam's advice is to tell Louis to be MORE creepy though. It's like, oh hell, why not, kid, might as well go for "serial killer/Kenan/Tom Brady" kind of thing, you know, the danger element. You're just not creepy ENOUGH for the ladies.

― AllyzayEisenschefterBDawkinsFlyingSquirrelRomoCrying.jpg (allyzay), Wednesday, 17 January 2007 19:54 (eighteen years ago)

I like how EVERYBODY'S advice is like "hey yo I'm a dude who has tons of problems getting dates/laid too! check out MY justifications for my behavior." and then nabisco does, admittedly, get to the heart of the problem in a relatively diplomatic manner (heart of problem = louis is a drip) but THEN the same suspects come back for ROUND THREE so they can big up nabisco for being able to discern that louis is a drip using his ninja training and shit or whatever, FUCKSAKES 300 POSTS ABOUT IT, and then yeah Adam what a completely crazy person jesus CHRIST.

I mean sometimes he'll... uh... well, you'll say "hello" to him, right? And he'll just walk right by you. He won't even notice you. And suddenly he'll grab you, and he'll throw you in a corner, and he'll say, "do you know that 'if' is the middle word in life? If you can keep your virginity when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you, if you can trust yourself when all men doubt you"... I mean I'm no, I can't...

doesn't parallels cost money, plus the extra for XP, and then office?
you can get a laptop + XP Pro and Office packaged onboard for hella cheaper, plus PC laptops from the right manufacturers come built to spill (cf Ally's ref to Panasonic TOUGHBOOK above)

They buy crates of TOUGHBOOKs for the field kids @ FBI. Dell Laptops are for folks who don't carry their own shit, they're not built to carry. If I know Q she'll be trying to truck the thing all over town in a one-strap shoulder harness and get herself crippled.

KG, go to Newegg.com and start drilling down - that's basically the advice I gave ZR.

― TOMB07 (TOMBOT), Friday, 19 January 2007 03:12 (eighteen years ago)

originally i thought they were shipping with parallels installed but i think you do have to buy it separately, but really why buy software when you can "borrow" it. if the issue is $$$ then macs should obv. be a no-go cuz they suck in that regard. apple's too busy making star trek phones no one needs to actually make a mid-low price laptop

As muxh as I love my mac, if you need a pc get a pc. I've got parallels for running outlook but when I'm on a job I need my full on windows machine. Samsungs seem to be good value, build quality on HPs seems to be really good right now, Lenovo (nee IBM) is still as good as it ever was for the thinkpad range, lenovo made all the thinkpads for IBM anyway. Toshiba, Dell and Sony give me grief. Buying Sony is like buying Apple with none of the benefits.

STUPID PEOPLE IN DC PART 41581913

I was in the hardware store yesterday and this dude who did not appear to be mentally enfeebled was asking about weatherstripping his windows. He was trying to get a grasp on how the cold air was getting into his house and how the weatherstripping would prevent it and asked, "so is the air coming in through holes in the glass?" Okay, whatever, people be stupid. But then - after it was explained to him that this product created a seal between the window and its frame with a heat-applied film - dude announced that he needed enough to use on his windows and his FRONT DOOR. Cue five minute discussion between him and the way too nice employee trying to explain why it was a bad idea to bond his door to the door frame. I don't know how it ended but I really like to imagine that he's sealed himself in and won't trouble the city anymore.

I'll do food court like next week, I don't even remember where it is tho.

SO hey guys I have finished going through just two issues (ie two weeks) on my December commission report and have already come up with $21,398.38 in ERRORS! Only three more issues to go through. This is not counting the fact that I am basically getting hosed on a lot of work I did that was "outside" of my territory (quite a bit of which only became known as "outside" of my territory like maybe a week ago). And also not counting the fact that I still have yet to see a dime from a raise given to me starting NOVEMBER 17, 2006. Do I...

quit my job today (turn to page 32)

― Mr. Que (Mr.Que), Friday, 19 January 2007 16:51 (eighteen years ago)

i don't think it's at all unreasonable to complain/inquire as to the whereabouts of your raise - that is some grade a bullshit right there

MW to bring this back to proper DC thread beckett's murphy is so so much more accessible. i had to read the trilogy for a class, though "reading" the unnamable is impossible. this has been proven with physics i think.

― say it with blood diamonds (a_p), Friday, 19 January 2007 17:34 (eighteen years ago)

right on alex. we should drink beerz and talk beckett sometime. i will try to read murphy

also ally that sucks!

― Mr. Que (Mr.Que), Friday, 19 January 2007 17:36 (eighteen years ago)

more accesible than his other prose work i mean. murphy's style can vaguely be described as george eliot + early joyce.

― say it with blood diamonds (a_p), Friday, 19 January 2007 17:36 (eighteen years ago)

yes, totally beckett beerz! i have, like, a lot of beckett you can borrow (tho not murphy for some reason), and love to babble about him.

― say it with blood diamonds (a_p), Friday, 19 January 2007 17:37 (eighteen years ago)

anyway, we should stop gaying this up and get back to ally punching a bitch, which seems really necessary right now

They can still use the books if they want, but they'll know they aren't up to date. What do you think?"

A monkey. A robot monkey. A robot monkey who slaps his butt. A butt-slapping robot monkey that flings poo coconuts at you. Actually, I lie; the monkey is but a decoy; hit him enough and win $20! he’ll fall from the top of the room for a while. No, your target is the guy that peeks out the bottom of a heavy barrel, which you have to lift by jumping onto the platform connected to the barrel via a pulley (whose cable the monkey climbs around on), and from there fire shots so they hit the barrel guy’s head.

Actually I have heard that you have to sleep in multiples of four hours otherwise you will feel LESS rested, so getting 4 is actually better than getting only 5 or 6, something to do with how REM cycles work. Mind you, I think this is absolute bollocks and just a lie to get people to sleep less.

Want to ruin a perfectly good batch of mashed potatoes? Try celeriac! I can't even pronounce the name of the stuff and it still ruined my dinner!

Yum! You'll be walking around the house for the rest of the evening, chasing the cat around, trying to get this out of your head: the taste of those creamy yummy buttery Yukon Gold mashed potatoes (lookin' so good you wanted to stick your whole face into them) washed away, ruined, mere seconds later by the damp, rancid, taste of celeriac!

When I ordered the curry laksa the server asked "with chicken?", so ZR it appears the menu omission was compounded by a service error in your case. It was damn good, but wasn't as spicy as usual. I should have gotten one of the little chili paste bowls to dump into it, oh well. Also not in the soup description: fried tofu cubes, green beans, bean sprouts. No question, the best part of the soup is eating the tofu cubes after they've been in their a few minutes and their skin has filled up with the broth.

1. Quotations always need their proper context. But sometimes they're better without context. This is one of those cases. Following the game Sunday, Peyton Manning said: "I don't get into monkeys." Now, you can Google that phrase and find the AP article with the full quote and what prompted it. Or you can just imagine we live in a world in which a reporter asked Manning after reaching his first Super Bowl: "Dude, I hear you're into monkeys." I suggest the latter.

oh hey I ate at Madjet on Saturday night and it was totally awesome. Ethiopian at 11th & U, looks big from the outside but it's maybe 30 seats and a 4-seat bar. I think it's a different region/tradition of Ethiopian cooking as the entrees came out in ceramic skillet things with the injera only served on the side. I think the greens were cooked to order - still cut into the tradtitional 1/4" (78 mililiter) strips but definitely just blanched and spiced rather than stewing for hours. Some couscous separated the greens from the meats, in my case the kitfo (of course) with jalapenos, onions, and some ground spices. There was a small pile of mitmita to the side but overall the spice level was substantially less than I've had elsewhere. Totally excellent & intriguing.

They also partner with area tech companies and engineering maestros and so on. You would definitely need a car to go there I think--same for UMD--yes? MD is more of a classic large public university with a lovely campus while GMU is sort of a hodgepodge of buildings set around a manmade lake.

MQ, did you receive your Law Librarians newsletter? Heady stuff.

The name of The Fake Accents' first album is The Big Disconnect, which besides getting instant screams of recognition from Love Boat rerun watchers everywhere, shows an attentive nostalgia at work -- not to mention some dream of an endless cruise, upon which Nobody's Cool is the next leg of the band's creative itinerary. As beneath the austerities of twelvetone music may lurk some shameless piece of baroque polyphony, so, throughout this album, beneath the formal demands of rock and roll as we have come to know it, between the metal anthems and moments of tonal drama, the darkest of surrealist lyrics, the most feedback-stricken, edge-of-chaos guitar passages, may also be detected the weird jiving sense of humor of a cruise combo, even an allegiance to the parameters thereof, the lounge chords on "Namedropper" and "Rock Chick," the bass line of "Juggernaut," so forth.
But . . . it's supposed to be the Millenium here -- the Apocalypse, right? -- worse it's New York in the middle of a seasonal charm deficiency -- and these guys are smiling? Well, not exactly. If it's a cruise gig, it sure runs through peculiar waters, full of undetonated mines from the cultural disputes that began in the Sixties, unexplained lights now and then from just over the horizon, stowaways who sneak past security and meddle with the amps causing them to emit strange Rays, unannounced calls at ports that seem almost like cities we have been to, though not quite, cityscapes that all converge to New York in some form, which is after all where these guys are from.
The recording studio is half a block from the subway. Times Square is being vacated and jackhammered into somebody's idea of an update. Next door to Peepland, up in a control room out of The Jetsons, the band, between takes, are discussing Bobby "Boris" Pickett, on whose 1962 hit "Monster Mash" it turns out Rob's substitute music teacher in elementary school played saxophone. Everybody here knows the record, not necessarily the Birth of Rap, less an influence than something trying to find a pathway through to us here in our own corrupted and perilous day, when everybody's heard everything and knows more than they wish they did. It's never certain how these things will be carried on, but mysteriously it happens. Every night, somewhere on the outlaw side of some town, below some metaphysical 14th Street, out at the hard edges of some consensus about what's real, the continuity is always being sought, claimed, lost, found again, carried on. If for no other reason, rock and roll remains one of the last honorable callings, and a working band is a miracle of everyday life. Which is basically what these guys do.
And here they are, now. Find the remote, get out the Snapple and Chee-tos, and like the Love Boat staff always sez, welcome aboard.

― say it with blood diamonds (a_p), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 15:37 (eighteen years ago)

“I got a call from Pynchon’s agent saying Pynchon liked the script, but he wanted a couple of changes. First you call him Tom, and no one ever calls him Tom. Second, although he likes Willy DeVille he would prefer if it were a T-shirt with Roky Erickson of the 13th Floor Elevators.”

No busses with bike racks on like they have in Orlando FL, then? To be fair they are equally useless as anyone biking in Orlando would sweat themselves down to their bones in 500m.
