..sad,sad,sad.
..dumped again.

putting away artifacts. I am going throught the tedious job of labeling unlabeled bags as well. I am listening to the new Shaggy disc. Pretty good. I also got the new At The Drive In, it's fantastic and I highly recommend it to all you Radiohead fans out there, it's like if Radiohead ever got realy angry.

The new Rage Against the Machine was not as good as I had expected. The covers fo Renegades of Funk and Street Fighting Man were really good, but I wasn't that impressed with the rest of it. And their cover of Beautiful World by DEVO proves once and for all that RATM completly lacks any sense of irony.

The At the Drive In disc is awesome! It's the first brand new disc I have had in a long time that wasn't dubbed or copied. I love it, although the Radiohead comparison has me puzzled. I think that they sound a lot like Fugazi, and other bands of that genre. I'll have to send Sem a copy of that new radiohead, cause it doesn't sound like that.

I meant older Radiohead.

I like them better than Radio head actually. I mean, Radiohead are good and all, but there are plenty of bands just as good.

I got a tip that Kid A was at the Deaf Ear used last night, but when I got there it was gone. However, they did have the first They Might Be Giants album, and I also picked up Iron Maiden's "Number of the Beast" and "Powerslave".
that's where all the rock rock rock above comes in.

Well, this is my last day with Birch. I may be on the net from time to time in the evenings, but since I am going to be in training in Minot, ND for a month, I probably won't get a chance until late March.
Can I handle not being on the internet for a month??????

Goodbye Afghan Whigs....God someoen save rock and roll, please. By the way, sem, you need to get Ok Computer and KID A by Radiohead, beacuse they have grown so much as artists. They are the one band that can save rock, along with Fear Factory (New Album out soon), and Soulfly.

I do have OK Computer. In fact, I listened to it today. I still think that there is a similarity in song structure between that album and At The Drive In. I hear similarities to Hum as well, and even ManRay19.

Rock is doing well, I think. Iron Maiden, Motorhead and AC/DC all put out new albums, plus you have bands like ATDI, System of A Down, etc. Ween's last album was killer, and if you want to talk about the Rock, Queens of the Stone Age, baby!

drinking peppermint tea, about to lay down and read and fall asleep. it's 3 in the afternoon.

reading mr. thomas's older essays again, and realizing that i've been continually visiting the site for the past 3 and a half years. good lord!

admiring today's "Big Picture"

http://www.sorabji.com/BIG/

The problem is, that's been the big picture forever.

I fondly recall when I first started coming to sorabji, that the big picture was teh first thing you saw every day. It's what initially kept me coming back.

Nah, there's been a few different "Big Pictures" this week alone.

www.orgasmatron.com

Maybe we should start a thread about keping the spirit of Rock alive!
P.S. Se,. have you noticed the infighting and backstabbing going around on the Sah guestbook? Jesus, no wonder that band couldn't stay together. Justin and Kent having been flaming each other a shitload.

Grooving to the laugh festival created by the fact that NBC is replaying SCTV episodes with John Candy, Edith Prickley, Moe Herman (to name just a few) 12:35-1:05am Central time, Mon-Th on NBC. Trip me out. John Candy was Johnny Pavarotti singing in the wedding scene of 'The Godfather' and wouldn't share his provolone.

wondering if anyone else has seen the radiohead video for just. embarassed because all this time, i've been confusing radiohead for stereolab. stereolab does nothing for me so, i've foolishly written off radiohead. i spent the whole day getting all of their songs off of napster. i have all but a few at 320 kbps and i've been burning them to cd for playing in the car. watch out western washington, i'm driving under the influence of radiohead.

listening to howlin' wolf.

i personally think that wolf's "back door man" is worth more than every iron maiden album album put together.

but that's just me.

Will I see you tonight on a downtown train.

Every night, every night its just the same

Oh my God ...how did I get here? Talking Heads...same as it ever was

Belatedly realizing that the reason I wasn't seeing new big pictures was that this computer for some reason will often only show the last version of a page that was previously viewed, not the latest. So I hit refresh and saw new big pictures, and wonder if Mark has ever gotten a show in a gallery.

Speaking of shows, I just saw Mavis' exhibit up in the UP and it was great, her best work. Most of her stuff sold, and I bought three pieces myself. She is going to take slides of the work, and I will try to get her to post them, if possible. Otherwise, I'll take photos of the ones I bought when I get them and let you see them. I think that they will appeal greatly to sorabjiites.

enjoying this:

A few past pics are highlighted there so you can admire them whenever you need a fix.

Sadly, Mark seems to keep all his really good porn to himself. Selfish bastard.

listening to the dandy warhols while enjoying the speed and accuracy of the computers at the public library. maybe.

OR I COULD BE TYPING THIS WHILE ON A BREAK FROM MY HOMICIDAL RAMPAGE!!!! MWAHAHAHAHAA!!!!

sorry about that. my evil twin, y'see.

in a self-loathing, hey-what-are-you-looking-at, wanna-pick-a-fight, cowardly mood.

Prolly low blood-sugar.

I'm also in a using-dashes-like-mad mood, which is never good.

So look out. I might just pick a fight and run away. I mean it.

I should just stay away from people.

stepped out just now to make a refreshments run and found that the city had disappeared. I couldn't even see the tall, well-lit bulidings only blocks away from me. lush that i made an attempt to get to the store. when i passed under the train trellis leading out of my apartment complex, it looked like i was going into thick smoke. i went about a half of a block to the west texas produce building before i gave up. i could see a cop car stationed in the parking lot, its headlights on.

hell, beats a tornado.

That's fine, as long as you don't like French people, too.

I have been conversing via email with a english lit ph.d candidate who contacted me through Sparkmatch. odd. What to think?

obligatory fuck the french.

i'm getting a new prescription for glasses tomorrow. should i buy the geek green pointy frames or the mod brownish purple oblong frames?

i vote for green and pointy.

any less.

[email protected]

if i do get the green pointy ones (which i'm leaning toward) it will only be so that i look more like my stortrooper.

yesterday i found a bitchin pair of more square oblong kind, but different than anything i've seen before. problem is they didn't have green, only blue. i'd like to have green, or better yet, silver. the frames were not thick, they were thin, but wide. if that makes sense.

damn i'm vain. it shouldn't matter this much. i guess i'm just sick of boring eyewear. i'm sick of being boring.

oh yeah, happy valentines day! i baked a fudge cake last night in the heart shaped pan i bought on the way home. i decorated it with pink creamcheese frosting, red pipe frosting, and little cinammon candies. since i don't actually have anyone to give it to, i guess i'll just have to eat it myself. dang.

Yay Mavis! How've ya been?

But good luck. I have enough trouble with a couple days' worth.

I'm sitting in a computer lab in front of a very narrow, very tall window. There's the effect of clouds moving quickly by because the heating plant is a little out of my view to the right, and the wind is plowing steam across my field of vision.

I've been feeling very domestic this week. With both Apparissus and Jess out cold with a Flu, I've been cooking, doing dishes, making tea, pampering, etc. I know I've got it too, but so far it's very mild.

I was up too late last night. We had a rediculous amount of dirty dishes, and I had been really wanting to progress far enough in the additions to my site to at least make them functional.

I'm sitting in a computer lab in the mathematics department, waiting to teach my freshman at 3:00. One hour to kill. I also have to make up an exam for them, but that shouldn't take long.

I'm sick of school. This is my 6th year of college and I'm positively burned out. Trouble is, I don't know what else I want to do. Mostly I want to go to amusement parks. Anyone wanna come along?

Starting to worry about finding a good apt. in Columbus. One of the guys I'll be working with went out and looked a t few for me, had pretty negative things to say about most, except for the one that's not available for a month yet. This is the worst part about moving so quick.

http://www.apartments.com

no shit.

Rent.net is better.

still, allyou get is the big complexes. One of the guys out looking for me found a one bedroom with a garage and basement for a low price, but it's not available til April 1st. However, the company that I'm going to be working for is willing to put me up in a hotel until we go into the field, and then I can just stay at the hotel in Leetsdale until I either find a place or move into a place I 've already found.

My head is woozy from laughing to myself. Don't spend too much time at seanbaby.com. It had a deleterious affect.

It's 2:30 a.m.,I'm sedated,it's Jonathon's B-day today,I miss him and the last time I saw him was a few days after Christmas.God I'm old,I'm starting to feel it too.At this point in my life,I should be trying to preserve my brain cells,but then I might be able to think,maybe this is for the best. I get pie-eyed whatever that means,someone told me that once.This has been eating at me,Jonathon has been convinced he's allergic to cats(cause I have one)It use to be dogs and cats,till they found out that Lucky was gone,and I found out his Aunt Tammy had a dog,so then it was just cats. Anyway,his "grammy" is having a petting zoo for his birthday,does anyone see something wrong here? Sometimes I wish I was a super hero,maybe coming down on those bastards on a turbo charged unicycle,with flaming batons that I'd torch old grammy with,while never missing a beat and ending with some grand ending and never getting a hair out of place.I'd be my hero,just for one day.I better go pass out.

thinking im completely convinced that Japan's populus is comprised almost entirely of giggly teenage girls. the busloads they dump here on the blvd are staggering.

swearing off food. blast age and big hips. you don't do a thing different and you wake up one day 15 pounds heavier than you were the year before. dead people burn more calories than I do, they're rotting at least. i love my shapely womanly body, but something's gotta give, my gluteous expansion continues to expand beyond acceptable fullness. dont' wanna be like those ladies in stretch pants who's butts you can lay an axe handle across. can't wait for the summer. gotta find a gym.

Here again at approximately 2:00, waiting to teach my freshmen at 3:00. I was supposed to grade their tests, but I didn't. Such is life.

I'm no further along in trying to decide what I want to do with my life. So far I've applied to be a park ranger, a greyhound bus driver, and an actuary. I'm most qualified for (and least interested in) the actuary job. Wish me luck!

This last Sunday,kicking back,was maybe going to a movie,thought I had begged enough to see Billy Elliot,but Amee wanted to do her laundry here,so I said come on down.Her birthday was Jan. 29th,but we still hadn't gone out,so she wanted to go to Red Lobster,so we did.We came home and played Trivia Genius Edition(I won),then her water broke.To make a long story short,he was born Febuary 18th,2001,at 7:20 a.m. I'm not just saying this cause he's my grandson,he really is real cute.Boy was I tired.

getting sleepy. finally got to talk to my baby. making sure im good and tired before going to sleep, cuz i cant sleep well alone :(

Really liking the new picture of Mark.

shaking my head at some pseudo archaeology sites on the web, and resolving to do more to educte people about what archaeology actually is (theories supported by hypothesis -testing and hard evidence vs. free association and wild speculation with little to no corrborating evidence). I am slightly heartened by thte fact that my filed isnot the only plagued by accusations of cover-ups, though, as astronomy has its share.

looking for skooter again. ate some absolutely delicious ziti with shrimp and diced tomatoes at a fancy italian place last night. looking forward to leftovers this afternoon :)
sorry so many jokers are contaminating your field, semillema.

I'm pretty much a gbig joker myself, but have some common sense!

I just submitted a membership application for my office mate who crossed paths with the UATF, a half-ass union of Field Technicians who lie and slander like crazy.

I`m very sad today, and yestarday... (and from 3rd of february)...
It`s all bacause my girlfriend left me. We live now during the studies very far from each other, and She said, that`s to far. She said also that she forgot me...
But I love her so much! I`m thinking about Her all the time... Why the life is so?...

Last day of work, hoodyhoo!

i have a new computer

it works. it makes sounds.

we have a mirrored ball

our project is being
published.

my theory of organized
bliss is working.

life is VERY GOOD.

now there's just that
personal stuff to take
care of

missin' that boy something awful. not the hopeful that dumped me but the sure thing that got me over it and did my woeful heart a good turn. why does stuff that's so easy for everybody else I know of turn complicated when it comes down to me? i.e., why can't I meet a single man who's really free and not just about to start divorce proceedings and thus isn't really single and free yet? how come I don't meet them the day after the divorce is final but manage to cross paths somewhere just after the soon to be ex hightailed it to cheatsville; and now we have to put everything on hold til it's legal and finished? how come my dream man has to shake off a snake-hearted bit of lying cheating party girl to leave him wounded and beat and then I get to come along and pick up what's left of him? How come bi-atches like her ALWAYS, and I do mean, ALWAYS have men around them in droves for their pick and choosin' and the nice girls get 'em after they're done? Is there any justice?

Getting ready to leave work. No more getting up at 6 to go to work! Yeah!

I will be leaving here as well. I will be back, god knows when.

All of you take care.

Sylly:

People love to be
tortured, to feel bad. To
feel like they are with
someone who might
be "better" than them.
Why would someone
be with someone nice?
There are those who
do, but you have to look
hard.

I guess I've been
posting about my girl
experiences lately,
here's another you
might find funny. or
sad.:

I had a crush on a girl
for several months. I
really liked her and
was always nice. Yet
she'd always cancel
out on our dates for
(my opinion) shitty
reasons. So I pretty
much gave up. I
actually had set
another date and then
my grandpa died and I
cancelled on the date.
She said "I'm sorry"
and I said "Ehh, I'll call
you back when his
condition changes." A
couple more emails
transpire, and I just
kind of treat her like
dirt. And the nature of
her emails change to
"miss you" and "let's
get together soon" and
all of that. What crap.

I want to see her and
tell her how I had a
crush on her and that
she broke my heart
and I am not interested
anymore. Cathartic.
And sadly I predict it'll
pique her interest.

Argh.

But remember this: if
you act like a hot sexy
bitch, people will treat
you like a hot sexy
bitch. And then when
you can wrangle them
sufficiently, you can be
nice again. Or you can
do things the long and
patient way.
