I don't understand what you're talking about. Have fun with whatever it is. Can you put buffalo wing sauce on it?

They're actually supposed to be the smartest animal on Earth. They just missed out on the opposable thumbs....They're smarter than us, but we have better equipment.

Yeah!.....I have no idea what's goin' on with 534. I drove by it the other day and saw all the yellow tape out front. That sucks that you drove all the way down here to find out that it was closed...I'd have been PISSED!! But I hope you found something else to do instead. I'll see what I can dig up around the campfire and let you know what the hell they're doing. You gonna come down on Sunday for bowling?

Is it anything like the 80s children's program PINWHEEL???

Got Saucer Wisdom today. Book smells FUNNY. Can't pinpoint the smell... something oily... Maybe a bit like a toxic Marks-A-Lot, but only after the acrid fumes have worn off and all that remains is something that just doesn't smell right. See what happens when you get stuff cheap over the internet? Context aside, I'm grooving so far on the preface and introduction and look forward to reading the rest as soon as I'm done re-reading Neuromancer. Seems like I had to do that with the last Gibson Novel I re-read, his collaboration with (I had to look this up) Bruce Sterling, The Difference Engine.

trippy man!

I like renting too, especially since I'm broke, but I wanted to see Big Fish at the theatre. It seemed like the kind of thing that's better when it's BIG. The theatre here only had six customers during the 7:00 show.

I bought Jet's album for 27 dollars, and someone who borrowed put a song stopping scratch in it.... and no of course they wont admit it! Tha bastards!!!!

heres me being uncool:

man, i hate peaches.

I don't want to say anything, because I don't want to start a bunch fo drama. And my biggest point of contention is a lengthy sort of diatribe about the innate flaws of a so-called "communtiy" such as this, where certain people are always going to be second-class citizens, so to speak...so, like I sad, it's better if I just say I get frustrated by the way things work around here sometimes.

If that helps clarify anything at all...

Well, I can see your point about not knowing how things will turn out. But the reason I'm so hard on Nader is not just that he ran, but the way he ran. When he saw that things were going to be close, he could have pulled back, or told his voters in swing states to vote for the Democrats. Instead, he did the opposite. Electing Bush wasn't just something that happened; it was his goal.

I also don't think the Greens have a chance of being a major third party. The extremely rare times this has happened in the US, it has been a party that shatters the existing alignments. The Greens don't do that; they just represent (a fraction of) the left part of the US's left colation. But even if they do, you just can't build a party from the top-down under this system. Running Presidential candidates has hurt the Greens. Being associated with throwing an election to Bush is not going to help them grow.

yeah it really gives me something to ponder ya know?

Yeah, the tshirt is just a joke - I'm a bit of a serial killer buff/forensic science geek and as soon as I saw that tshirt I knew it had to be mine.

Thanks for the compliment!

Thanks for the book list. The entry wasn't anything worth reading. Just me whining about random stuff in my life. But I've got a spreadsheet of likely jobs set up to hammer through, so I'm done with the whining and on to the practical stuff.

Don't watch Bumfights 2, please.

Some of it really sickens me, not because of what they do exactly (although some of that is horrible), but because of the intention behind it. Now I can certainly see the amusement and possible socio-economic highlighting of poverty and homelessness in a clip where 2 'bums' run around in a circle with their heads on golf clubs until they're dizzy and then they race to a bin to get the $20 in it. What I don't see the point of, to the extent that I was occassionally disturbed watching it, is assaulting people on the streets because of the situation they're in.

Yeah, do see that movie. Fucking intense movie, that movie (...And Justice For All). Yeah, thanks for the reading list, looks good.

I knew you were a friend of mine for a damn good reason. Thanks for confirming it mate!

Anyway, 'Kinky Couture' sounds like a title to watch out for! I'll be checking back for the review...

I didn't enjoy M Hulot's Holiday as much as Play Time, but it was fun watching it and realizing just how much Rowan Atkinson ripped off Tati for his Mr. Bean character. Though it's odd to see just how quick and one-off all the gags are. Any other comedian would have stretched out and milked all the gags for whatever they were worth. Tati, on the other hand, seems content to make his point and move right along.

This is all very new to me, and mysterious! I'm so out of the loop. I feel like the girl at the party with the least ammount of cake!!!1

One day we can get drunk and discuss literature and fine products, and maybe the meaning of the quote in my journal too. Having a drink (even fruit juice if you're not a drinker) with you is on my 'to do' list...

At this point I'd be willing to try.

Never heard the CD.

Hmm. I don't think I've ever played Warlords, then. But Combat fucking rules. I wish they had it for the PS2 - I could get an emulator, but my computer's in my back room and so less easy to sit around with friends and drink beer.

Thanks for the vote of moral support, but, as the story says, not a whole lotta swinging going on at the moment. The one couple we were actually hooking up with moved away, and we have yet to master the balancing act of approaching folks (most people we've met who are self-consciously 'in the scene' are people we don't get along with... lots of Republicans and military types for some reason).

And yeah, I hate the word. I think it's because 'swinging' seems to imply going out and finding other couples for the sake of finding other couples, sorta like a pairs version of being a pick-up artist. I like the ring of "poly-" better...

Hahahahaha...yeah, that's the problem with experimental/noise rock; sometimes you don't if the wool's being pulled over your eyes...
