Number one sign you are getting old?
You catch yourself thinking: kids today and their #$%& (in this case, rap) music!
"Look at me now. Remember how you gave me shit and I made lemonade out of it? Pass me the sugar and things will be fine"
Ah, a little Tsunami Bomb to clense the palate....

"No, not me. I'm an island of such great complexity."
You wouldnt recognize me now, I am incognito. I am the Clark Kent to my own Superman. I done got me some glasses.
Unfortunately, contacts were too expensive and I was getting tired of my dinosaur experiment, only being able to see color and movement.
Y'know, that reminds me, in the final scenes of Kill...

In short, I think Hitchens is good at attacking things, but he lacks much of a positive programme.

I love "the Peoples' History of the United States" by Zinn. My favorite book by him is "Declarations of Independence." I am a dual major (History and Philosophy), so I read a lot of History books. I focus on Europe (Eastern in particular) and then on Asia (China), so I am not as well read in American History. Zinn is one of the exceptions though. I have a lot of the man's books.

Glad you approve! 
I may turn it into a .gif file so it flashes several different things.

eh, poetry sucks, go away.

How is it that you are more in touch with Chicago-style goings-on than I? WHEN was Utah Phillips?
12 miles. Bah. (Just kldding. You wouldn't know it to look at me but I'm out of shape like a motherfucker.)

Id better stop actually doing things for a minute or two so I can write about them a bit.
So my buddy was out here in the middle of nowhere just to visit me because I am, in fact, that cool. We did Chicago stuff, and pohdunk stuff and caught up on indy films, etc.

I leave early tomarrow morning for the other big city and will regale you all with stories about the protests and all the fringe theater/cinema new york has to offer. Till then, sleep well and dream of large women.

No worries. I haven't even gotten to writing about the weekend part of my week away. Looking forward to your tales of the other city.

Hello, I'm here to bug you because you expressed interest in joining us in reading a Book of The Month for August. The title chosen was The Life of Pi by Yann Martel.
If you are still interested in participating for the month of September you can vote for one of the three titles suggested so far. You can also post your own review, or simply express your opinion of 'The Life of Pi" or my own poorly written reviewhere.

So I've seen several movies this past week/weekend. I have to recommend "Elephant," a day-in-the-life type movie that follows several students on the day of a columbine-esque school shooting. Also, "May," a disturbing little number about a girl who makes her own friend, literally. Some very disturbing scenes that manage to be funny in a not so laugh-out-loud way.

One of these days we're going to do a Friday pr Saturday get together. Will that work for you?
It's funny, the first I heard of Pyrates was at my Princeton Review audition. The...hmmm....design manager???...was there too and he did some shameless self-promotion. I never made it but I do love the Chopin.
My ex keeps recommending Goodbye Lenin but she's from Germany so only has it with no subs. The other 2 I haven't heard of but will look for.
Okees, I'm off the VA 'til Sunday, where internet connections will be dodgy and access to naked girls even more so. Have a peachy week.

I think Libertarians are pretty misguided in their economic views, but I tend to respect them for being intelligent individuals. They are opposed to big government and usually socially liberal, so we agree on a few things. I don't agree with some of the analyses they offer (Marxism as big government, etc.). Still, I hope that they maintain some vitality as a political movement - their interest lies in opposing the two party system and they might be able to help break the political deadlock in which we find ourselves.
Note: I think it is more acurately a one-party system. I am thinking of the November elections as a second round of primaries. Yep, you can quote me on that. The differences between the Republicans and the Democrats are smaller than the differences between Bukharin's wing of the Bolsheviks and Trotsky's, for instance...
Still, it isn't as wide of a gap between the candidates as I would like. Much of it is rhetorical. Bush advocates some pretty crazy laws and defends some pretty crazy policies though.
I would have voted Socialist as a protest vote to send a message that the Left is not happy with the two choices. Unfortunately, the votes are counted here, as the Socialists are not certified as a write-in in this state. That means I vote for the guy who wants to get rid of the Patriot Act...
