I still owe a decent summation of my observations from the road, but those will have to wait. Instead, I think I’ll reach for a borrowed meme from back in April. Maybe I’ll start a new one here. When I was driving home from the aforementioned roadtrip, a poet was on local public radio. As …
… after I paid off the mortgage, bought a new car or two and refloored the entire house, I’d have to get me one of these: I’d need a second iPod too, but all such things are easily within reach for the man who holds a bag o’ cash. (Link Found @ BoingBoing) In other …
For your morning’s reading, I offer the following items: My sadly negative JIVE review of the latest Will Smith release, written as a letter to the artist. My surprisingly positive JIVE review of the new McConaughey film, Sahara. An observation on revealing — written for Skirt Magazine by the very talented Kayt. Enjoy.
I shall play as well, but by my own rules. On the rough wet grass of the back yard my father and mother have spread quilts. We all lie there, my mother, my father, my uncle, my aunt, and I too am lying there….They are not talking much, and the talk is quiet, of nothing …

As a result, one of my old characters is moving. The other is …
Some months ago, I decided to get a paid FilePlanet subscription. Anyone can sign-up for FilePlanet, but only those who pay their quarterly fee of at least $15 can have access to faster servers for downloading and higher-end content and events. I did it to get access to the World of Warcraft beta for myself …
Ribbons are for suckers. And cartoonist Natalie Dee agrees with me. Amen. Your purchase of a chunk of magnetic vinyl is only helping some enterprising middle-man in charge of tchotske import. That is all.

Our very own zig-zagging former Governor, current Senator and all-around partisan turncoat has found a place on The BEAST‘s 50 Most Loathsome People of 2004. 19.
