Sometimes, life has a real way of kicking you when you're down.

And other times, just when you're about to give up, things miraculously turn around.

Lots of the former going on this past month, but finally now the latter. My days as a professional slacker may soon be coming to an end. It will be good to have money again. Oh yeah, and to...

So I was listening to the Epoxies' song "We're So Small" yesterday, and as I listened closely to the lyrics, I realized that just a week or two ago, they would have sounded amusingly retro with their themes of nuclear holocaust. However, when you read about dubya's threats to go noo-q-ler, it seems a lot more real.

Are we officially back in the 80s...

Whoo hoo! Glad someone agrees about the overdone wing thing. Damn. Enough already!

Sheesh, I bet we are back in the 80s. Forgive me if you've already seen this link, but I thought you'd get a kick out of it: http://www.mnftiu.cc/mnftiu.cc/war14.html

It seems so limiting to only be able to have 3 favorite girls. Maybe I'm just being too fickle, but I swear, several of the last few sets of new girls make me want to make them my favorites right away. Especially the one of Quinne, she is super cute and super sexy. Ah well. Maybe I'll try to pick 2 established girls with lots...

Ok, so I knew the Epoxies were cool from the moment I first saw their web site and heard 30-second clips of their tunes, but I saw them Friday night here in DC, and I have to say, they kick ass! Now I have even more reasons to be jealous of all the folks in Portland... not only is SGHQ local, but so are The...

Why is it that even though I want to support the anti-globalization cause, I still can't get past the fact the most of them are just a bunch of stupid, dirty hippies?

Am I just brainwashed by the mass media?

regardless of whther or not you're brainwashed, the point is that 99% of protesters are dumb fucks just along for the "party"
crazydasaint:
It's not just dirty hippies, it's also punk kids dressing up and playing anarchist, and ultra-dogmatic socialists, and genuine crazy people... and a whole bunch of well-informed folks genuinely concerned with issues of global poverty economic imperialism. Sometimes I think the latter are in the majority, sometimes not. In any case, they never seem to get the spotlight and the rest of the folks run around giving the mainstream press easy images to vilify the entire movement...

I stayed home myself, because from everything I heard it was just a bunch of people sitting around waiting to be arrested. The left needs to come up with some new strategies, methinks.

So, you're the one who beat me to posting the Neko Case show? Maybe I'll see you there...

woohoo... people wrote me comments, I feel so loved... and the cute new girl too even :-)

I should really get a job or something... the highlight of my day was catching an old clip of Siouxsie and the Banshees from the 70s on TV...

The rest of my day involved lots of applying for jobs for which I don't expect to hear back, and...

I need to get a job so my housemates will no longer consider me their personal taxicab when they're running late, leaving me to battle my way home through the traffic in downtown DC at 4PM.
