I found these orphaned on my computer... figured I'd backdate it and post them... cuz why not?
This is either Gold #8 or Gold #9 at Renny I'm pretty sure. Don't you just wish you could straighten that disc out a little bit before it goes?	This is on #13 Gold at Renaissance... I believe And, if I recall, the disc wasn't actually even in this tree...

oh my... and then there's this:

From Palast's commentary on bush's speech to the NAACP yesterday. (or the day before? I can't remember)

Voting Rights Act -- This was a big applause line. Bush gloated about his convincing the White Sheets Caucus of the Republican Party to go along with the renewal the Voting Rights Act. But he forgot to mention the fine print. The Southern GOP only went along for renewing the law on the understanding that the law would never be enforced.

Think I'm kidding? Check this: in July 2004, the US Civil Rights Commission voted to open a civil and criminal investigation of his brother's Administration in Florida for knowingly renewing a racially-biased scrub of voter rolls. In April 2004, Governor Jeb Bush, of the "family committed to civil rights," personally ordered this new purge of "felons" from voter rolls, despite promising never to repeat the infamous scrub of 2000. The new purge violated a settlement he signed with the, uh, NAACP.

It also violated the Voting Rights Act. The Civil Rights Commission turned the case over to the US Justice Department which, two years on, has yet to begin the investigation. That's not to say President Bush did nothing. He swiftly replaced every member of the Commission who voted to investigate his brother.

(last line emphasis is mine)

clap your hands say george

I made up some new words to an old song this morning. It's awesome. I should join The Coup.

If you hate george w bush then clap your hands!
If you hate george w bush then clap your hands!
If you think that's he's a fuck-up
and he doesnt' know what to do...
If you really love your country
but george w says, "Fuck you!"
If you really hate george bush then clap your hands!

dead

Syd Barrett.... dammit. :(

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

So I wasn't going to talk about this... at least not yet... but now I suppose that I am.

[Deleted crap that has to do with my personal "life" but isn't the point of this.] and so THEN, an hour later, she said, "But I LOVE CourtTV!" and everyone went back to sleep. I guess you would have had to have been there.

Then, on Friday, Thomas, Scott, and myself were invited to go check out the ending stages of Dustin's recording at Orphan Studios. We also might have been asked to scream on one track... we also might have been asked to sing on another track. I may or may not be the best singer in the house. Well. Actually, I am. Which is cool b/c I can't actually hit "notes" as it were. But I have charisma. Which, to some people, isn't an aural quality. Those people are wrong. In and around our "contributions" we got to hear bits and pieces of the near-final cuts of the tracks to make the record. And before we left, we were given a pre-mastered copy of the songs and, really, omfg. iirc irl w00t & wtf. I am very very. very. stoked for this thing to finally get finished and come out. Admittedly, I still haven't picked up the new Sonic Youth b/c I was poor, but I'm pretty sure this one will be in the Top 10 of 2006 list. And 2006 looks to be a VERY good year. Even though the Tool album disappointed me a little. And it might be too trendy to dig the new Muse record, but I do anyway.

And... God... that was terrible. The only thing I'm trying to say is, "This record is really fucking good."

holy shit I'm bored...

which, it turns out, was a more attractive option that going to see Pirates of the Caribbean II.
I think I made the right choice.

So Ken Lay died...

of a heart attack.

Sympathy to his family.
Definitely.

Odd that it happened a few months before he was sentenced for being a lying manipulative bastard tho.
According, of course, to the courts.
The courts I'm told to trust.

My first thought when I saw the headline was, "I wonder if he killed himself."

Morbid? Maybe.
