Things I have learned this week:
1) The Station Agent is a good movie.
2) If you find yourself in Baker CA, Mad Greek has great food and Alien Jerky is worth a visit.
3) People no longer working at your company are 'furloughed', not 'laid off'.
4) The INS people at San Ysidro are mad monkey drunk with power with a dash of lazy.
5) Vaccinations are very expensive and insurance companies really don't get that whole 'preventative health care' thing.

You get a call from a stranger asking you to spare just one minute for a survey.
You're bored and on the cordless phone anyhow, and say, "sure, why not". That's how it happens for me. They launch into 1-20 minutes worth of probing questions about household income, marital status, whether or not you floss, and what you wipe with. "Between wipes, what television shows do you watch?"
"Have you ever heard of Arrowhead Water?"

And so forth.

What is information about your lifestyle worth?

Someone built a nice calculator, so you can figure out exactly how much their getting for your answers. And I've been giving it away for free because I think the person on the phone has a shitty job and I just want to help them get through their day??

*sigh*

I'm guessing the people at endore.com had invested heavily in profit sharing for Janet Jackson's forthcoming album, hence the essential need to close their doors and rush off to Vanuatu.

*sigh*, jeffron. Hopefully the Ni-Vanuatu got my smoke messages explaining the very delicate concept of subpoenas and small claims court. Of course, they'll have to learn to interpret smoke messages first. I'm currently looking around to see if anyone else is taking action. I'm going to send them a couple of blank cds first to see if they'll return our files that way. Unless the bank reposessed them.

Well, that really is nearly unbelievable. Not Janet's breast, the endore.com warningless flop.

Haha@ Janet's breast being vaguely referred to as a warningless flop. That took a second read. I saw the performance on Kazaa. None of it was very rewarding.



The hive is up, and better than ever. It's even sort of intimidating!
Try it. hive.

See? Oooh, scary.

So you'll need a password to get in. I'll send it out as soon as it's populated enough to be of any use to anyone.

I'm listening to Sonic Youth's "Youth Against Fascism". I never really gave them a chance. As usual I arrive 20 years too late. I recently got their entire list of instruments and guitar pedals online somewhere. I'm trying to build a guitar pedal bar. I've got two pieces for it that aren't on the SY list but they're not enough, so I usually play music dry on stage. So many performers rely on effects to play, and my friends and I have been playing dry. Things are frigging expensive!

Well, that really is nearly unbelievable. Not Janet's breast, the endore.com warningless flop. Janet's breast was wholly convincing. I was sitting next to my buddy's girlfriend watching the half time show Sunday, and we just turned to each other and said simultaneously, "Was that a boob?". Then we simultaneously shrugged, and went back to watching mediocre, very expensive advertisements interspersed with occasional football.

I was surprised at the media backlash the next day. I had forgotten all about it. The boob, I mean. Puritans, I guess, the heritage and all. America, you need to lighten up. The lame thing is it was even an issue at all. I mean, it was a lame performance, however one looks at it.

US of Whatever.

The only thing I lost was unarchived email, so, I'm lucky I guess. I feel for those who lost webpages, and most of all, the time they had invested in their sites.

Really, can't we blame the economy, and through that, George Bush? The president, that dude owes us some webpage building time. I'm emailing the White House now.

Janet Jackson's boob gets exposed by Justin Timberlake on the most watched television event of the year.
"I'll get you naked by the end of this song," sang performer Justin Timberlake, moments before he ripped off Jackson's top, exposing a bare breast...

High-larious. Though I don't know if it's funnier that that's what people stoop to when their careers have been non-existent for nearly a decade, or that CBS got caught with their pants down.
