No matter how misanthropic I might get in the following, days - I really shouldn't forget amazing people - like Laquetta Shepard demonstrating this act of courage in Kentucky.

While I would hardly think Mcdonald's to be a den of vice and porn - I guess it is in Scotland.... Corrr! I didn't even know you could view the innernet there!
In any case - I just saw 8 Femmes... The new film by Ozon last night with Pam. It was a charming film -- throwback of a Douglas Sirk whodunit complete with musical numbers... And again, hot Catherine Denueve Action (that woman could wrestle 'gators and still look glamorous. Here she just wrestles other belle du cine Fanny Ardant.)
I'm getting ready for work... Outlook for today: grab umbrella for potential sh*tstorm.

So - while you were sleeping, I've come again late into another internet trend that passed me by - Launch.com. Actually, though - let me rephrase this -- i was way into it when it was something else (before Yahoo bought it) and they had this alt-brit channel that played a ton of obscure greats, but then it became Launch, and I couldn't for the life of me keep them from giving me Britiney-N-synch crap served up every other song. Well, I think they're decision engine and offerings have matured (I mean - I could select Mission of Burma for crying out loud. I did select as my top heavy rotation David Bowie, Belle And Sebastian, X, Galaxie 500, Kristin Hersh, Tindersticks, Modern Lovers, The Wedding Present, Uncle Tupelo, XTC ... Yes, it sounds like a sad college station playlist in the Midwest (err Northwest), but then again - I am still that sad, unhip student who longs for laying on my dormroom floor and listening to KVRM.
In any case - this will be a permanant link on my homepage, but here's what I'm currently listening to! Listen and weep....

Ok - I'm here. I'm back. I'm sure you were wondering just what the hell happened. Well, let's just say the world got really messed up (and still is) and it showed me opportunities (and still does, kinda)... I didn't have alot of free time (but kind of have some at the moment). So - I'm going to start blogging again. (Yeah - I know, god help you... my dull life and most mundane details exposed for the world to see)... I figure it will be a good excersize to getting my site up to snuff before the years out and also to record the fact that I need to get back to the gym.
Also - I've totally been serving up offensive links to friends unwittingly in my address book - so I should spare them the agony and start posting here....
Welcome back, me.
