I enjoyed Evelyn Waugh's Decline and Fall this week. It sorta paralleled the first book of his I read, A Handful of Dust, because you have these fairly timid lead characters who have total disasters befall them.
Waugh has a seriously dark and subtle sense of humor; for instance, the sickness and eventual death of a child-student is mentioned in passing in Decline and...

If you live in VA, please write to your state senators/ reps about this damned dumb law that will be in effect as of midnight tonight.
If they voted against it, let them know you appreciated it; if they voted for it, rip them a new one.
Do it now. NOW. Thank you.

Okay... Napoleon Dynamite the dude is an A, but the movie, the script and plot and things that keep you riveted, is more like a C... and believe me, I didn't want it to be Hollywood or even plot-driven per se, but I think it still lacked a little... something in the mix. I like Pedro. I love Kip... but there's just still the...

Do they still make stand alone CD burners for home audio units??? My computer is a fucking Gateway 2000 travesty. I've had better experiences getting repetious nut-kicks from ill-tempered donkeys. After awhile it just kinda hurts so bad that you get really high...but the Gateway 2000 never gets me high!!! Motherfuck!!! I'm going to see the 9/11 tonight. I have two very strange videos for you. As soon as I get some burns a-floatin'...you'll get the care package.
If all goes correctly tonight, I will get off work, go to Shirlington, eat, go to the theater, see Napoleon Dynamite, get up, walk about 50 feet over, then watch Control Room.
I hope my schedule isn't thrown off by stupid pre-movie ads...

I don't think it's so much a question of whether the electorate are capable of electing a moral, honest person as it is a question of whether a moral, honest person is capable of getting into a position of electability in our current capitalist climate (forgive, please, the alliteration and hoity-toity fancy-speak). My vote was going for Dean, and then he had his sudden, inexplicable drop in the polls as Kerry had his inexplicable skyrocket. I never got the impression that he was anything other than honest and moral. Kucinich seemed to have a moral, honest air about him, too. And that seemed to be a point AGAINST him. So... there you go.
We're trying to decide between Dodge Ball, Napoleon Dynamite and Harry Potter 3. You know... something relatively mindless. Look forward to hearing your views on Napoleon, I've heard that guy is hilarious!

We're officially friends now. 
I think the whole "white slaver" was such a sham! I know there were those who did take advantage of young women, especially those new to the country, but I think it people use it in a sick way to prevent girls from stepping out side their homes.
I want to see Napoleon Dynamite! Let me know what you think of it.
Have a great weekend!

Fishing on the Susquehanna in July
I have never been fishing on the Susquehanna,
or on any river, for that matter,
to be perfectly honest.
Not in July or any month have I had the pleasure
-- if it is a pleasure --
of fishing on the Susquehanna.
I am more likely to be found
in a quiet room like this one --
a painting...

Actually, you know, I think if you like Coldplay I'm pretty sure you'll like longwave. They're not really all that similar except maybe two songs, but it's NICE.
nocontrol:
I love the EP, but you should really check out "Young Team" or "Come On Die Young" for a more complete idea of the Gwai sound.
The quote is from Rousseau's "The Social Contract". A fine read indeed.
As for Coldplay...well, Boheme said it best.

If you were in charge of SG or a similar site, what would you call it?
I read in the Feminist Group that someone supposed the site's name comes from the fact that you wanna kill yourself over the models, they're so good-looking! That's the first sorta legit idea I've heard. Some folks said it was a Palahniuk refence, but it isn't... I know one...

I love these people. I dunno if I can summarize my time with or feelings for them, but here's a bit:
J.C. has such a caring relationship for her daughter and c.e.l. and her bro.s, and c.e.l. for his mom and the women of the house, and I agree with J.C. that the evening didn't go exactly as one plans evenings...

mikael:
it will either be good or bad:
good in that the dirt covering the egg deposits will be smoothed over and all scent trails washed away to thwart any would-be predators: (fox, coyote, raccoons, opossum, dogs, etc)
bad in that if said covering is washed away, eggs will be rendered vulnerable.
Either way, it's just as much "survival of the luckiest" as it is "survival if the fittest".

Yes, popularity can be overwhelming, I know . I'll get back on the decent updating track soon. I just need a little vay-cay from the real and online world. 8 hour drive to Key West tomorrow, then fun in the sun.
Thanks for the birthday wishes....talk to you soon.

Not much going on immediately... but I should update.
I'm so bloated from lunch, I feel like Jabba the Hutt after a bakery binge...
Tonight I'm going to a play, Lend Me a Tenor, so I hope that'll be good. The Alexandria Little Theater had been excellent in the last couple years, with great versions of The Mikado and the Marx Brothers' Cocoanuts,...

I hope to eat at Ben's Chili Bowl, although I think some folks might go to Dukem as that was the first place suggested. Not to worry- they are only a block apart. I figure I will hit both places just in case, prob eat at Ben's but drop by Dukem's.
Hope to see you all there, and then there's always...

Dag Im jealous I really wanted to go i hope you have pics.. wait your the one with no digital and no cell fone right? hehehehe Hummm well give us play by play at the very least 
What a strange bout of prescience, no?
I think Keep the Apidistra Flying was my least favourite. I think maybe the life of quiet desperation theme hit a little too close to home.
I need to read Tobias Wolff. You are the second person I respect who has brought him up.
