jayde__:
I fully intend to. I just got distracted last night.
I have some very good news on the CD-ownership front... and quite unexpected.
Someone has actually dropped off modern, interesting rock albums in the library donations!
I was just telling CruxBaseAlpha how she should hear London Calling last night; well, that was one of them! So now I can burn that and give it to her FREE! (I still wanna see that documentary DVD, though,...

I don't think salary makes anyone beter/worse, more/less deserving, enviable/pitiable, etc. than anyone else. i'm not sure if you misunderstand some of my posts. I was implying that I don't see a demographic element in the encounter, nor a racial element --all three sanitation workers were white & there was no mistaking the one who glowered's glowering for anything but a glower. I grant myself at least that much subjectivity & trust that not all intuition is prejudgement.
I work for the organization most responsible for putting the concept of political correctness on the map & think it's easy for us overeducated folk to fall into the trap of taking pc too far, where "garbage man" has a negative social implication and the 'sub' in subway implies that the masses who ride 'under' ground are a subhuman underclass --I have been questioned on the latter --luckily I answered wisely.
I wish I was like bowie, "much too fast to take that test," but I'm not and can't suppress or fake it like the majority of those I meet.
I was born --lucky me-- (kinks reference) and have lived in manhattan most of my life. you cannot live here for 26 years and not notice social change. nyc is, among millions of other things, an accelerated and reliable indicator of the social trends of the rest of --relatively-- integrated north american society. along with social change come changes (another bowie reference?) in how people think others should "see" and speak about the world, to the point that someone so attuned can be on the verge of what might be termed 'exploding-head syndrome.'
remember my post about the iraq-war veteran? If you are blessed --and cursed-- with awareness of the context of everyday behavior and events occuring around you, you must always be on point. in a hyper-paced town where predispositions are many people's way of coping and making their way through the dominant koyaanisqatsi, it can be daunting for those of a contemplative disposition who may not be capable always of 'thinking on their feet,' who are not yet 'enlightened' and properly buddhified, not yet in a perpetual state of concentration without elimination --speaking of which,

I knew she liked Stevie... she was at a benefit concert with her one time. Sandra performed "Is That All There Is" (heard it on the CD) and I thought it was great.

I finally saw the SG episode of HBO Real Sex. I was completely not disappointed in Nic's sexy English voice, but I thought people said Missy had a Southern accent or something....? I didn't notice anything unusual in her voice. It was interesting seeing shoots in progress, such as Snow's graffiti-wall one. Is she CUTE in that or what?? And fun seeing...

Ah, I got one of my baseball books today and immediately found one of the stories I was looking for! I'd thought it was in Leo Durocher's book, but not, it's in Billy Herman's section of Baseball When the Grass Was Real, and concerns an incident in Cuba, where the Dodgers were having spring training in 1942:
You know, Ernest Hemingway...

I'm glad the King's D trip seemed to pan out well. Hafu has said what NoControl said- we needed some better phone # exchange; but all seemed to come together well. (Hey, why is Hafu grey? I hope I can draw a line through this observation tonight as with my last Journal.)

that's one of the things I respect about you; you one of the most independent thinkers I know --especially on this issue (within this site).
although I am probably in trendy harmony with most of sg, I am convinced that the right honorable reverend G is mos def in the house --of representatives. I am of the opinion that he is an active cause and propagator of this endless slaughterama in west asia. charisma is a gift, but we know too well of its potential for abuse --cliche, I know.
while someone like w has a crude, unrefined charisma, g's charm is eloquent and radiant --even quite beautiful at times. it is also subtle in its dual nature and political appeal --he has been w's personal spiritual trainer ever since the latter gave up dwi & cow tipping. If he hadn't been where he was and done what he did, somone else would gladly have done the honors. I'm not saying he's an evil person, just that his effect on our social & political climate has been one that I find unpalatable.
nonetheless, you are probably better informed than I am, as my knowledge of current & recent history is nil compared to yours --my favorite news source is the osmosis channel & I just finished reading how to divine history. --though I do have consistently partisan sources at my (mostly) left-wing office --I try to avoid becoming a doctrinaire by reading whatever paper is left around --my favorite being the enquirer.-- & being open-minded to the opinions of my republican relatives --I try not to throw out the babies with the wading-pool pea-water.
you seem to be attuned to grey issues, and take things issue by issue & are a lot less prejudicial than myself. you don't seem particularly attached to one political affiliation & that is something I've always respected, pretended to & --consistently wavered from.

This is something I read by Michael Chabon in The New York Review of Books, about how he was deciding how to write his fiction, as a college student. I thought he especially made sense in the end part about what bugs him about science-fiction.
Growing up, I read some science-fiction that was trad hero/ bad-guy stuff but I generally shied away from that...

Well the habit of trying to get your daily vitamin supplements (namely your vitamin O), while others are in the same vicinity as you is not really a habit that you can control much. I would say that you shouldn't be concerned about kicking that habit as it's not your fault they are around.
