A song that's in my head today:
Blake Babies
Sunburn (1990)
Girl in a Box
I've got a girl in a box,
Keep her under my bed, it sure must get hot in the summertime.
I get her out when there's nothing else to do.
When there's nothing on TV, when I can't see you.
Wife don't mind if I give her a child.

froggy:
they got you in egypt again? how long have you been there now?
prudence:
my husband interviewed juliana hatfield once.
The idea that I've got another 9 months here is solidifying. It's a smothering thought, now that I'm waiting to be somewhere else.
Things I like here:
Nobody's ever really sick or seriously injured.
Very few people actually tell what to do.
I can fly around in helicopters and be paid for it.
No wardrobe decisions.
Great shortwave reception.
Cheap beer.
Time to read.

If nobody is ever sick or seriously injured, do you still run around franticly and yell medical sounding stuff like they do in war movies?
"I NEED 2 IBUPROFIN AND A BANDAID... STAT!!!!"

can't you just prescribe yourself some knockout drugs?
can you prescribe me something?
I'll trade you cookies for the paperwork.
It'll all be untraceable, I promise.
Pharmacist : "Mr. Mitchell, why do you have an authorized prescription for 5 kilos of Percodans, from a doctor in Egypt?"
Red : "My dog ate it."
See? I got it all covered. Let me know what kind of cookies you like, I'll go heat up the oven.

I am the ultimate CyberLoser. I have 12 hours here in Amsterdam, and what do I do? Check my e-mail and update my dopey journal. The canal boat doesn't leave for a while yet.
It's cool and sunny here, kind of makes up for my size XXL DC-10 neighbor who had his elbow in my ribs for 7 hours. Is it any wonder I'm...

Thank You for your interest in Canadian Content and the CRTC as it applies to radio:
Canadian content quotas for radio are based on the broadcast of a minimum number of musical selections to be aired during the official broadcast day (6 a.m. to midnight). For AM and FM stations, the minimum weekly requirement is 35% of all popular musical selections, except for stations whose playlists are at least 35% instrumental. Such stations are allowed lower Canadian content levels because of the limited amount of Canadian instrumental music that is available. To ensure an even distribution of Canadian music throughout the week, the Commission also requires Canadian selections to account for at least 35% of the popular music broadcast Monday through Friday between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m.
A separate fact sheet entitled "The MAPL System" sets out the conditions that a musical selection must meet to qualify as Canadian. It's all done by formula, and points being assigned for the nationality of the artist, producer, writer, where it was recorded, how many candians were present during the time of the recording etc...
You'll find that most internationally renown canadian artists are owned by the Big Corporations, who all have their own way of recording and producing the music that they have had written for their "talent". Since most of this shit is written by non-canadians (I'm not pointing any fingers here... but shit is shit, and it could have been written by anybody from anywhere) even the biggest hits by our canadian Icons dont qualify as canadian content. For example Celine Dionne is NOT considered Canadian content even though she is a French Canadian and one of Canada's most famous artists. Neither is Shania Twain. And the bulk of Bryan Adams' catalogue. The only reason the BEAR plays so much Adams is because they're a crappy radio station.
I do beleive that there is a bunch of U2 material that qualifies as Canadian content because it was written and produced by Daniel Lanois.
*p.s. - there is a chunk of writing up there that I plagarized from someone else and then stuffed my comments in where I felt it was lacking. It's the snotty bits, if you couldn't tell....*

So the hotel I'm at in DC is hosting a Mazda Miata Owners' convention. For some reason, the people are nothing like I expected. Happily gearheads are gearheads around the world.

Why does this site insist on my birthday being 31 December, 1969?
My brother gave me his PALM VIIx today, saying he never used it. I have the book and docking thing. Can someone tell me what I can do with it? It seems far too light to hammer nails, has no bottle opener and doesn't really taste like anything.

Cotton blankets,
'Steada of wool!

Don't if feel like the wind is always howl'n?
Don't it seem like there's never any light!
Once a day, don't you wanna throw the towel in?
It's easier than puttin' up a fight.
No one's there when your dreams at night get creepy!
No one cares if you grow...of if you shrink!
No one dries when your eyes get wet an' weepy!
From all the cryin' you would think this place's a sink!
Ohhhh!!!!!!!
Empty belly life!
Rotten smelly life!
Full of sorrow life!
No tomorrow life!
Santa Claus we never see
Santa Claus, what's that?
Who's he?
No one cares for you a smidge
When you're in an orphanage!
