sockpuppet

thanks, I just ripped it off the AP though.

Good story. Surpised none of the staff editors jumped on that.

I have been well, thanks. Very pleased to see you here. :-)

Hey, I appreciate your comment. You didn't offend me, not really. Things just get so out of hand so fast in the dscussion forum, particularly around topics like the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. I'm just as guilty as anybody else, and I hope I didn't see, to rude or self-righteous, and I apologize if I misinterpreted the "Jewish homeland" thing.

Anyway, Yo La Tengo. They were awesome. We saw them at this ballroom in Portland. My girlfriend's in a wheelchair and throught the opening act we were getting really bummed because she couldn't see anything, but after Yo La Tengo went on their stage manager invited us back stage! Well, more like side stage since it was a ballroom, but we were sitting right there next to their wives, etc. It was increadible. They're much louder in person than you'd expect.

Anyway, thanks for the comment. Courtesy is far to rare.

Yeah, that's why I mentioned the loud. You wouldn't think it from their albums. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that we were sitting right next to the speakers. As for my lady-friend, unfortunately it's probably not a temporary thing (unless we get our asses in gear and put some serious time and money into stem-cell research.) We were in a car accident a year ago come December and she suffered a spinal chord injury. It seems worse than it is until you live through it. People adapt, you know? Life hands you a certain set of conditions and you learn how to deal with them if you can't change them because there's nothing else to do.

Yes, Wool is indeed in Dorset...I've been through there a couple of times to visit the Bovington Tank Museum....


....ummm, who are you?

Ah! I see...welll pleased to meet you...anyway, I remember Wool mostly because the train stop is 1 or 2 miles away from the museum...and it's such a weird name...anyway, whatever....

now you should compare it to a brisk fall day that of autum turning and leaves falling. That way you'll have time to stop and watch the foilage.

did you see the icon?

I bought the bleeding edge for too long and am now going back to buy the toys of my youth that I couldn't afford then but lusted for.

Not so much depressing, but what could one such as me offer? Most of my posts revolve around bitter observations, sarcasm or wordplay. You didn't leave the door open for me.

They should be there... Pics at the top, and it should display in date order. The fact that you don't seem to know the girls name isn't helping.

I hadn't forgotten you at all.

No it wasn't depressing...in fact it was a little inspiring. Goood for you I say. As far as looking for a set...try going to "girls" then looking under the "chronloniclay" part That may help you find your new crush. heheh. or even if you just know one letter of her name you can type it in in the search bar. and it brings up all the SG;s with that letter name. But you best bet is the chronilogically. So heres to hoping you find her.

We are in agreement.

Do you not feel murderous?

Let's hope South Park includes him in an upcoming film at least. Chile is such a beautiful country, and even more so after this bit of karmic goodness - anyone for a public stoning?

I'm not really worried about the job really. It's just funny to me that I bothered with a college education when all jobs requiring said college education make me want to vomit.

well, it's good to see you back!
i figured: 1- you're from the uk 2- your in the world music, hirsute and futurism groups 3- it says you joined in july, but right away you had a bunch of the smartest members listed up at the top of your page, and how would you know all the cool kids were if you just joined? 4- i think i remembered your favorite sgs 5-you're obviously still frustrated the design, which is why you left to begin with.

or it was just a lucky guess

I've never quite understood the advertising on vehicles thing. I certainly can't imagine that any of my consumer decisions have ever been influenced by anything I see on the side of a truck. Hope you are making the best of your time offline.

Hmm, interesting comment! Concur on the advertising... As for the songs I'm buying into the idea of not worrying about the quality, just the quantity. Then pick the winners...

That book has just gone on my Amazon wish list*.

I'm back, give or take Reading Festival this weekend.

The picture in the last post several weeks ago is Cattawade btw.

*until the paperback comes out. Sounds a happy book! Overall we as a society have been rather fortunate over the past few hundred years comapred to the degree of climate swings that have effected past human societys. World over population and future climate change will be very unpretty.

The list helps ration all the books I actually buy Vs the amount I like. I take ages and ages to read books, as I'm always diverted by other things in life.

I think it was Dante or someone who said that the hottest spots in hell are reserved only for those who stay neutral once they're informed. Not that I believe in any kind of hell or nothing... but worrying isn't necessary a bad thing, just means you give a shit. Unless it's taking overy your life... if that's the case I highly recommend go karting

Just because I'm not serious doesn't mean I'm not sincere

I hear you.

That's just silly.
