Super!

I'm doing research in the R.R. Donnelley archive this quarter and over the summer -- it's housed in Special Collections at the Reg. Of late, I've been down in HP on Wednesdays and Fridays -- I could meet up for coffee (starting the following week as I'm dirt broke right now) in the morning or after 5PM. Let me know what would work best for you.

Hope to finally meet IRL.

Well, i think it's either one of two things. Now that he has his own show (which is really good, by the way), where he isn't required to be the token conservative (like he was on Crossfire), he's much more comfortable expressing his independent views. Or it could be that he's just a fucking hypocrite, who is taking advantage of an unpopular war and an unpopular President to bash the Republican party to make himself look better. After all, when the war propaganda machine was in full strength, Tucker wasn't exactly looking at it with a critical eye (as Pat Buchanan was, for example). I'm leaning towards the former.

X-Files movie part 2 is a go!

Long lost deviant siblings?????

No, you sound like someone who is pretty well immersed in what they're doing. Wait, is that the definition of an obsessive freak?

I don't use names I just refer to them as designers and developers, mostly it's just designers

Not at all.

It's better than the alternative. Oh, wait, maybe not...

Really? I don't think the Republicans will be immune from the 'can't win in the genereal election' game, and I don't think either of those two can. The radio says Fred Thompson is considering a run. It's funny, I'm not sure that the republicans can avoid a seven dwarves style disaster of a primary.

that's a major symptom of their problem: the primary is so wide open at this point, someone like Thompson talks about jumping in and has to be taken seriously. I have no idea who is base would be or where in the spectrum he would fall ona given issue (not that vague or unknown positions have ever hampered a presidential candidate).

Indeed. Or as I say, I drink the KoolAid.

That reminds me of a certain webcomic featuring zombies and vampires.

I really do think that will be the bear that bites him (not that one's religion or lack thereof ought to be).

I know you're done with your reading, but this seems right up your alley.

I never look at sets anymore. I don't know what the f is wrong with me. I'll make a point of reviewing this week tho!

I hear you re: getting out, having been married and living in HP for 6 years of my life. It is impossible to get anywhere easily from HP. Makes it tricky. But let's do get together for a beer & some chat @ Pitchfork. I'll pm you my phone # now afore I forget.

just back from the gym. a little playstations, some reading and then sleep.

Working off a hangover, waiting for lunch, and sending emails. Some work-related, some not.

Glad you guys are going to Pitchfork. I'll be there for the whole shebang, so I'm expecting to get to meet you at last.

I suppose that would depend on one's definition of fun.

thanks!!

Excellently put.

All work. Which is not to say there's no play -- D.C. and California are not bad getaways.

Quincy, Il on Tuesday, tho...

Ah, you have the curse of the "science" moniker hanging about your neck. Read my latest blog for my anticipated departure from PhD-land, but I'd like to take the opportunity to say to you that "We can afford *pants.*" is one of the greatest sentences I've had the pleasure to read ....

Yeah, that little balancing act is sort of interesting. I like to think we get equal support from both sets of parents, just in different ways.
