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).

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.

uggg.

in other news, in a moment of boredom last night at work I noticed that Jolly Rancher wrappers now carry the following message:

CAREFUL: Small objects, like hard candies, may inadvertently become lodged in the throat.

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:
Oh! I'm so happy toread neews about your CREEP2004 project!

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...

....sorry for not updating nor posting very much these days (I hope you enyoyed my little birthday karaoke), soon I should have more time on my hands and maybe things will change!

some words from Mr Mark Twain:

In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.
- Notebook, 1904

Man is the only Patriot. He sets himself apart in his own country, under his own flag, and sneers at the...

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...
