Continuing on my music kick:
William Shatner - I Can’t Get Behind That
Produced by Ben Folds, this stuff is wierd but totally awesome. Seriously, download it.
The Decemberists - July July
At first I was really put off by the quality of the lead singer’s voice, but these are just really catchy songs.
The Streets - You’re Fit [...]

31Oct04People call me lots of things.
24Oct04Something about this quote from the propaganda/humor site enjoythedraft.com…
“John Kerry has been accused of many thing. Itching to start more wars is not one of them.”
… reminds me of this scene in Garden State…
Andrew Largeman : Do you lie a lot?
Sam : What do you consider a lot?
Andrew Largeman : Enough for people to call [...]
Happy sad time to sleep
22Oct04Going to bed at this miserable hour, but I’m not sad because I’m going to drive to Pennsylvania tomorrow to see Niamh! I have about 4000 hours of books on tape in my bag, and it’s going to be great. Too bad I forgot the directions at school. Oh well, I’ll figure something [...]
Media
18Oct04Posting from my PDA…
The great proliferation of artisans we see today is a product of TV and radio. With the coming of the user interface as the dominant medium, ART WILL DIE, and criticism will reign Supreme, feeding Off its own meager carcass.

15Oct04I won’t geek out–instead let me just say that I have a way of listening to music while walking around campus now. And today I was walking back from getting tickets for Dracula tomorrow night, listening to Postal Service (highly recommended) and feeling really happy.
It’s been raining today, and this weekend is supposed to [...]
Donate
08Oct04I just donated $100 to help run these TV ads. They feature mostly republicans, talking about why they are going to vote for Kerry. They are compelling, and honest, and I think they speak to people in a much more positive way than the attack ads campaigns often run.
If you think it’s important [...]
Oops
04Oct04What happens when you don’t get enough sleep and don’t wear a seatbelt.

04Oct04Leftover chinese again for lunch. Broccoli is sooooooo delicious. It is the wonder vegetable of the stir fry genre. Cauliflower too. This is perhaps why I enjoyed Aloo Gobi so much at Shanti, and why I tried to replicate it at home. These two delightful vegetables have a great flavor [...]
La la la
03Oct04Saw La Boheme again tonight. I don’t remember who performed it the last time I saw it, which was a couple of years ago, but this time was better. The sets were incredible–three completely different, utterly elaborite, highly structural sets. Very nice. Went with Josh.
Ironically, Josh asked about riding home in [...]
Ready? Fight!
01Oct04Enjoyed the debates. Kerry managed to do surprisingly well. He was mostly clear and to the point, and he did a much better job actually answering the questions than he or any of the other candidates did in the primaries. Still, it is a presidential debate, so there is always a certain [...]
