Shalome] beat me to the punch on this article. I put some work into it, and I hate to see it go to waste, so I'll post it here.

RIP news story. You were my one true friend.

In one of the most disturbing blows in favor of the recording industry, a group of RIAA companies have won a lawsuit in Australia against a...

Apparently, I couldn't remember the movie Stand and Deliver well enough to remember the title, but I remembered it well enough to look up via the main character's name, Jaime Escalante, on IMDB.

Memory is a goofy thing...

Haha! Zing!

My all-time favorite sci-fi writer is Octavia E. Butler. *spooges* Have you read anything by her?

My mom moved to Boston and I'm keeping the dogs until she gets a permanent place. The week after she left, one of the dogs, Tess, sent her this e-mail:

I WOKE JAMES UP AND WENT OUTSIDE WITH NICK AND WENT IN THE BASEMENT
WITH NICK AND LICKED HIM AND BARKED AT THE MAILMAN AND JAMES CAME HOME
AND PETTED ME AND LOOKED AT MY...

Rad! Twelfth Night is my favorite Shakespeare play, so far.

Your list of books you've read so far this summer looks pretty damn good.

It is! And I'll be there tomorrow! Try to contain your jealousy! (It'll most likely be pouring rain anyway.)

It's so incongruous to watch things like City Slickers or Dilbert. Kevin' Arnold's adult voice coming from the strangest of places. wink

What I've read so far this summer:
On Bullshit (I forget who by, but it was really good)
Stephen King's The Dark Tower I: The Gunslinger
Isaac Asimov's On Time, Space, and Other Thigns which was EXCELLENT
Robert Conrad's Heart of Darkness
The Autobiography...

How did you like Heart of Darkness? I have it, but I haven't read it yet. Sound familiar? Maybe that will be next.

I think I'm going to take the money Lyric Opera is paying me to buy a new 60 gig iPod photo. I figure at $370 (the education discoutn price), betwen the $300+ I'm getting from them, plus the 10% discount for trading in my dead iPod, plus (hopefully) the $50 from the battery settlement, I should be able to get it.

Also, they've invited me...

I'm finally getting a chance to do some real, good theatre. My last show, as assistant sound designer, was disappointing to say the least.

This one is called She Loves Me, it's a 40's musical comedy. It's no Godot, but it'll do. I'm doing run crew. $8.50/hour, 25-30 hours total. Nice chunk of change. Chance to work with some real professionals. I'm happy about this.

The punk rock kittens are adorable! smile

I prefer the spongemonkeys because they're disturbing. And unforgivably hideous, to boot!

Waitaminute...did you say Godot? I fucking LOVE that play!!! love love love

Congrats on the crew job. I never got to do crew outside of high school, but it's fun work, that. Being paid for it would have been divine!

No one else seemed to like it, but I for one enjoy Red Dead Revolver.

Jolly good fun.

Good haul at Half Price Books today

My friend Joe also gave me three CDs he couldn't sell at Record Exchange: Steppenwolf's Greatest Hits, The Best of The Band, and Junior Senior's album.

And I got a Gorillaz poster.

Life is good....

So, do all the editors have eyevatars now? Maybe I should get one too.

So, how about modern art. It sure isn't modern anymore, and also is unrelated to anything we might not be talking about.

Ooh! And pixies. Pixies are so punk rawk.

I'll wait for your PayPal to be unfux0rd. (If you can use "de-fucked-upify", I can use "unfux0rd".)

And that's all the news that's fit to print.
