a few years ago a reporter asked one of Mao Tse Tung's generals (I think--I don't have the EXACT reference at hand) what he thought were the ramifications of the French Revolution, to which he said "It's too soon to tell."

that, my friends, is brilliant.

Bastille day--

here's to the country that has given us Montaigne, Moliere, Emmanuel Beart, Tororo, roughly 70% of yours truly, & sometime in the distant future, Jean Luc Picard of the Starship Enterprise...

(& it was ten years ago today that a gracious, beautiful & kind woman 11 years my senior took a shy, awkward young ratsonjulia, fed him wine & cheese, & made him...

I feel like celebrating this event by dancing naked while playing harmonica (much to the amazement of my goats).
morgan:
hmm...I've been playing "American McGee's Alice", and I think "American McGee's The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe" would be AWFULLY fun.

my car has neither a broken water pump, or a faulty radiator cap, but a blown head gasket.

which is much, much more troublesome & expensive.

3 day weekend coming up (which I put in for about 7 months ago) but I'm not sure if I can head anywhere as my car started hemhorraging fluid about a week & a half ago, which was diagnosed by friends as being either a faulty water pump (300$ to fix) or a faulty radiator cap (4$ to fix)--hoping, naturally, that it's the latter I...

the idea I have for the CREEP2004 website is so close to Dennis Miller's recent behavior, that I kinda wonder if I shouldn't just let him do the job
tororo:

wow, you did lots of updates, covering a vast range of topics and varying as well in lenght and style... I noticed your entry about fireworks got more comments than your Mark Twain entry... so, if I'm allowed to, I would like to say, belatedly, it was a really good entry... um... rather lame comment... my english isn't la hauteur...

I can't get you out of my head
And I can't get you out of my mind
And I'd say
I can't get you out of my heart but

(Chorus)
Baby, you stole my heart
I don't know what to do without you
And I keep thinking all about you
With my heart

I'd go anywhere for you
Anywhere you asked me to
I'd do...
