I've read a bunch of his books, but not that one. I've got "Rant" sitting on my shelf waiting to be read at the moment. He's generally a good read, if rather fucked up.

Emmylou Harris, Wrecking Ball.

At some point in time, I downloaded a matrix of some show with Mike's new band, and I have to say that I was quite pleasantly suprised - it was definitely better than I was expecting. Haven't heard the album yet, but I know a bunch of the songs from that show were taken from there.

Aimee Mann, Lost In Space.

Dave Matthews Band, Live At Folsom Field.

Happy Birthday!

R.I.P. I didn't even know that he was ill.

P.J. Harvey, Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea. I really don't know any of her other stuff at all, but this is a great album!

That is also an excellent album!

Happy Birthday!

But that's not 2 billion dollars per year; that's 2 billion dollars that have already been spent. Axing the program afterwards guarantees that the 2 billion dollars is a waste of money. Furthermore, police chiefs all over the country have said that the registry was useful; they would consult it every time they had to respond to a call at a residence, especially for domestic violence. They wanted to know if there was a firearm on the premises. I totally agree with you that a person who purchases a gun in order to use it illegally won't register it, but that doesn't mean that a person who buys a gun for protection and registers it won't someday use that gun in some violent way. While I'm not generally a proponent of government tracking the citizenry's posessions, I can easily make an exception for lethal weapons.

Ooooooh, that's a good one.

I knew a guy who made an Ex-Lax cupcake and left it in his lunchbag after we had had a few lunch thefts. We found out who was behind the missing lunches pretty quickly!

A-ha! I've been thinking that for the longest time, but nobody ever talks about it so I thought maybe it was just me.

The Rolling Stones, Flowers.

Preordered... waiting for the arrival in October!!

I'm somewhere between A and B. I don't have shower beers in the morning (unless I'm not going to work) but I frequently have them just about any other time. Beer is good.

Congratulations!

I always suspected you guys were an item.

Steve Cropper & Felix Cavaliere, Nudge It Up A Notch.

I once voted for the Communist Party just because I was so disgusted with all of the mainstream parties. Of course, I now have to figure out how to vote from overseas...

While I frequently disagreed with Mr. Clark's policies, I always thought he was an admirable and respectable individual. This letter is further proof of that. His being admirable and respectable, I mean. Not my belief in him as being so.

Whatever. The Seoul Whalers are gonna kick everyone's asses!

Naturally, people shouldn't be having unprotected sex. But the comparison you're making is similar to saying that the risk someone takes when getting into a car being driven by a drunk is the same as the risk being taken by getting into a car. Both could end up with fatal consequences, but you'd be a lot less likely to get into a car if you knew the driver was drunk. Certainly you're rolling the dice by having unprotected sex, but not knowing that you are rolling loaded dice is a different proposition all together.
