“Of all the people and all the places in the world,” he said, “a guy with a samurai sword jumps on your balcony, setting your apartment on fire.”

You’d think someone would have done something after the Crossbow Incident. Yow.

cut for the bandwidth challenged, a few pics from my trip

The idea is to pick a musical artist and then answer questions with that artist’s lyrics.

1. Band/Singer:

Richard Thompson

2. Are you male or female?

I’m an old man inside a young man.

3. Describe yourself:

A man is like a rusty wheel on a rusty cart; he sings his song as he rattles along and then he falls apart.

4. How do other people feel about you?

Why don’t you grow up, why don’t you settle down
Why don’t you get a job, why don’t you leave town

5. How do you feel about yourself?

Who’s gonna cure the heart of a man in need?

6. Describe the person you love, like, lust after.

Salty girl with the yellow hair, waiting in that rocking chair.

7. What would you rather be doing?

If I were a butterfly, live for a day, I could be free, just blowing away.

8. Describe where you live

Paper ships and painted faces, the world’s no place when you’re on your own.

9. Describe how you feel about love:

Love is bad for business.

10. Share a few words of wisdom

Life seems so rosy in the cradle, but I’ll be a friend, i’ll show you what’s in store. There’s nothing at the end of the rainbow; there’s nothing to grow up for any more.

Yes, please do…

Sadly, I could find no Urkel porn and only one piece of very mild Urkel fanfic on the web today.

I saw a PBS documentary about Lance Loud last night. Interesting guy, very smart. I hope I have the energy and will to write last words as well as he did.

My baby fell out of the win-dowww
You’d think that his head would be SPLIT!
But when he fell out of that window
He fell in a barrel of sssHHhHshhhhAAAVING CREAM
Be nice and clean!
Shave every day and you’ll always look keen!

I’m starting to organize my pics from the trip, and here’s the first post. In a Cracker Barrel restaurant in Virginia, while waiting for my table, I found this Angel Doll Thing (.AVI video, 3 meg).

Sadly the video is 90 degrees rotated to the left because I shot it vertical and I dunno how to fix that easily because I am a Video Moron.

Hours of fun, including full MP3 tutorials. Apparently people have been using this language to defend themselves in court cases, with predicable results.

In response to genericus‘s posting of “Drop your Pants” by Hilary, I present my personal emblematic early 80s tune: Shiny Shiny.

Yes, I was a KROQ kid starting in about 1978-79. I kinda miss New Wave. Where’s Lene Lovich when you need her?
