Soundtrack: Pretty little fashion face Pick anyone up off the shelf Though you say it's a disgrace You know you owe it to yourself You can even shop around Though you won't find any cheaper She's your baby now You can keep her --Elvis Costello, "Tiny Steps" Axioms: "Canada is an act of faith, which like the Eucharist, cannot be reduced to a lapel pin." --David Olive, Toronto Star "The Times has been living off the Pentagon papers, and the Post its Watergate legacy for 30 years. They may think those are still great medals they're wearing but it doesn't justify the way they've fallen down on the job before Bush. Nixon really did put the squeeze on the press, but this is a voluntary servitude. Both have become subservient to power." -- Vanity Fair media critic James Wolcott in the Observer "The truth knocks at the door, and you say, 'Go away, I'm looking for the truth.' And it goes away. Puzzling." --Robert Persig "In true Survivor fashion, the people on my show who were dying to get seen went pushing and shoving to get down to Richard [Hatch]. And we're like, you know, of course, being from Rhode Island, we were looking for fire exits." --Helen Glover in the ProJo "We all live in fairly dangerous times in terms of freedom of speech and freedom of expression. A lot of the songwriters that I've admired and learned from ... are people who spoke in matters of conscience as well as matters of the heart. I think that it's essential that we defend that right." --Elvis Costello The "$Include Bitnodes" Award: To the rain. You did your job, now go away for a while. $include bitnodes. The Skip Memorial "Hey What the Fuck?" Award: To Explorer, which locked for seventeen minutes when midnight rolled around. Hey what the fuck? The "Bless You" Award: To the various people and things that make my life more bearable just by being. Bless you. The Bad Karma Quote: "Stay away from me, man. I think you got the worst karma of anyone I ever met." --The Butterfly of Love in The Milagro Beanfield War Quote of the year (so far): "GOD DAMN IT!"--T. Adler Other randomness: Now the breakwall reminds me of Newfoundland. Assessment: Can barely move. Famous last words: "It's just so fucked." --Me |
