Hey, Paths of Glory is pretty great!

Kirk Douglas tries to stick it to the French Man, but the Man always wins, even when he's a frou-frou little Frenchman.

To summarize:

[something insulting about the French]

"Paris 1919" by John Cale is the best song ever written.

Deal with it, jerks.

Bob Odenkirk:

"I immediately began supporting the troops. I put yellow ribbons up around my house. Literally everywhere (On my bedposts, on trees outside, on the mailbox pole (17 of them!)! I took pictures of the yellow ribbons and sent those to the troops. Can you imagine how thrilled they must be to know my yellow ribbons are everywhere! Yellow ribbons! And ribbon stickers on...

IMPORTANT DIALECTICAL QUESTIONS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

NOTE: "DIALECTICAL" MAY OR MAY NOT BE THE CORRECT WORD TO USE THERE.

-Imagine that magic is real, and not just something dorks do to amuse themselves. Which would happen first: scientists gang together and try to kill all the magicians, or vice versa? Which side are you on?

Hey! You!

Go see Akron/Family live! If you live in Europe, there is a small but decent chance they will be playing in your hometown soon. If you live in the States, tough shit! Wait until December, and see them then, or go back in time. Akron/Family is a good reason to invent time travel, absolutely.

To summarize: Akron/Family live is nothing to be fucked...

So I wrote this song a few days ago... it goes:

"Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep boop boop boop beep beep beep beep

Boop beep beep blipitty beep

Bloop bloop boop beep blip blip boop

Bloop bloop bloop bloooooooop bleep bleep

A note to the "cute'" girl in my 1st Amendment discussion, prior to our (potential)second encounter in lecture tomorrow:

Hello! How are you? I'm doing alright as well, despite the weeks' growth of facial hair I'm currently sporting. No, haha, I'm not going homeless, I'm trying to grow my sideburns out! Thanks for asking, though.

A strange thing: Listening to Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works Vol. 2 makes me feel inebriated when I'm completely sober. I just sit and stare at the wall (or my computer screen) and feel completely zonked. It's good, but I feel it may be the devil's work. Maybe it could be both good and the devil's work? Who knows.

I've started on this thing where...

I think if my parents had named me Flash Gordon, my life would be a whole lot easier. A name like that carries RESPECT.

"We got a lot of rebuilding to do.... the good news is and it's hard for some to see it now but out of this chaos is going to come a fantastic gulf coast... out of the rubbles of Trent Lott's house -- the guy lost his entire house -- there's going to be fantastic house. I look forward to sitting on the porch." -George...
