The Vault is open!
My worry, like my ejaculations, was premature-- the video store has just moved two blocks. Perhaps they had a sign out front saying so. I wouldn't know, as I always used the parking lot entrance. I found out by calling the phone number on my card on Sunday just to see if there was an answering-machine message; turned out they were...

I have three bits of news, one neutral and two very sucky... not that I'm bummed or anything. I'm too tired to be bummed.
1. I was helping my friend Eric move. He owns a lot of stuff. Couches, furniture, books, more furniture... tons of clothes... even he thought it was crazy how many shirts he has, so he gave me one. It's Abercrummy and...

Dude, Netflix. I found this little gem with no hassle whatsoever. It rocks! Plus, considering I spend $4/movie at Bleccchbastard @ at least 5 movies per month not including late fees, $21.95/month for unlimited rentals delivered to your mailbox with 3 rented at any given time (and kept as long as your heart desires) is rock fucking solid.

When our local video store closed when I was in uni we could no longer find such classic gems as 'Willow' to rent. I feel your pain.
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...

I find it a little eerie that I was quoting Brando's lines from Apocalype Now on the day before he died.
What a strange bout of prescience, no?

I loved Down and Out in Paris and London. I really liked Burmese Days too. I wonder how autobiographical that book was.
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.

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.

yes yes everyone loves the shiek *l* i tried to say no man but you know. im a sucker
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.

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...

2) 1995, there is no doubt in my mind about this one. Pearl Jam which will work for 3 and 4 also. I am very nostalgic about Pearl Jam.
I can't wait for my cd's to arrive. Maybe the first batch already has, but I don't go into work until tomorrow, so who knows.
