I'm in the process of writing a smarty-pants term paper. I'm looking at Olaudah Equiano's slave narrative as a hero myth. I'm using The Hero with a Thousand Faces by the late, great Joseph Campbell as a primary source. I'm following his schema as a skeleton for my paper. I'm trying to prove that all protagonists that triumph in the end have some element of...

I went to a Kerry rally yesterday. Bruce Springsteen was there. Bette Midler was there. Unfortunately, Starr Jones was there. And Kerry was there. I woo'd a lot. I am all woo'd out.
Look at this photo and see if you can find me. It's hi-res. That means high resolution in English. I'll put an answer key up after the spoiler space. Don't cheat, omg!...

Come back to the land of the living. Have you listened to the new Nancy Sinatra with Morrissey and Jarvis Cocker? I'm freaking out about something you would appreciate. This fucking guy came into my store and traded in this stuff:
Sir Douglas Quintet
The Seeds
The Sonics
Monkees "Head" on DVD
West Coast Pop Experimental Band
Music Machine
Chocolate Watchband
Left Banke
The Fugs "The Reprise Years"
Easybeats
Basically, I'm gonna blow about two hundred clams on sixties and seventies bubblegum, glam, garage, freakbeat, and baroque pop. Isn't it great striking gold? I figured you would appreciate my schoolgirl giggles over this stuff.

Okay, okay. I'm going out of town for some business-related reasons. I'll be back on Monday. I am tiiiiiiired.
Oh god. I saw the Pixies recently. That was pretty awesome, BUT WHY DOES EVERYONE HAVE TO THROW THEIR BEER CUPS ON THE GROUND? Oh my god. Bring a bag. Throw it in the trash. You can try to wend yourself back to wherever you were...

The sloth in that picture is concentrating on eating. He's looking down at that delicious leaf. 
Last week was crazy. The Secret Service went a little nutty as the week progressed and Debate Thursday approached. They sent these two harmless-looking, miniskirt-wearing (to clarify, a miniskirt on the UM campus qualifies as the length of your average tee shirt sleeve. Look at your tee shirt sleeve. It is three inches long max. I get to look at a lot of panties on...

you met john cougar menstrualcramp? no way! i love that he sings about being all real and shit and yet he changed his name to sell records... love that....

after last night's debate I can't wait to vote for john kerry. I especially loved with he said about homosexuality not being a choice...that won me over once and for all. despite my bias (I'm such a liberal democrat I pratically leak liberal democrat sauce) I think he won last night too.
I am a liberal according to this test. My favorite question was the baby-eating one. I still Affleck has the best baby-eating technique.
Okay, so today was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. I received yet another email from my university regarding the upcoming Presidential debate (which I didn't get tickets to, because I am an idjit who forgot to...

R.I.P. Johnny. You were always my favorite Ramone -- a blast to watch when interviewed and always generating awesome stories. My favorite? When you took a sack of stones to Shea Stadium and started throwing stones at the stage while The Beatles played. I hate The Beatles, too. Yoko is my heroine, and The Rolling Stones will always be better than the sap and crap...

I feel guilty every time I come by here and I don't have any "I saw Lux Interior zapping three bald-eagles with a tazer and I saw Poison Ivy throwing lawn darts at the zapped bald eagles in the restroom at White Castle" stories to tell you. Shit, they're coming to Detroit:America's Favorite De-Militarized zone in October. I'll lay one on you then.

Hurricane shutters are almost completely up. The last thing to go up is the skylight thingie, and I'm scared of falling off of roofs. So I'm not doing that one. Let's hope no one dies in preparing and during the storm. And let's hope it brushes by us, like with Charley, and that it slows down by tomorrow morning. Augh.

I'm back in my home, but I think I'm more susceptible to... whatever the effects of these pesticides are. I'm coughing, my eyes are burning.
Fuck it, I'm going out.

Ugh. Our house has termites. We're going to get our house tented next week, so we need to find a hotel. We were going to stay at the Mayfair House, a place that used to serve as a gay bath house, because we heard they were pet-friendly. They're dog-friendly, not cat-friendly. Fuckers. And they were reasonably-priced, too! $96 a night for a suite. The Four...

That cat site you sent me to totally cheered me up! And it reminded me of the eCard my sister sent me for my birthday: ....nevermind, my stupid email program isn't working so I can't get to the link where the card is located, and it's not showing up in my history 
I really want you to see it, too, cos it's so cute and has this adorable hand-drawn kitty and I cried. Yeah. Okay wow, PMS really sucks!

I hope everything works out for you and the dilemma, too.
the last time he came up was when, for some reason, we were having lunch in a seminar class at Bard and the professor was talking about elements of tragedy WITH TURKEY IN HIS MOUTH. also: i hate mayo.
