Watching Lewis Black and listening to it rain. (Miss Friday? Do you have access to the new concert?)

Four good sized boxes later, the purged books are ready for Saturday.
Part of me says that removing unneccessary stuff from my life will be a release, a good thing that will make me happier. And part of me feels like a window. It's been accumulated one grain of sand at a time, fused together, then splintered and had pieces removed. Potential removed, options reduced. But it'll be fine. And less stuff will be nice.

I think I'd rather misbehave

IFAMAQ!D results as follows:

( Are the Republicans really serious about Mike Huckabee? )

( What was your favorite musical discovery of 2007? )

( But *why* are you replacing top of the Pops? Also, have you read  )

( Will Bush and Cheney start a war with Iran? )

( Why is cheese so delicious? )

Okay, that was a little time consuming for a Monday morning. If I keep doing that, I may rotate it to Sunday night.

Because I am one chatty motherfucker today....


Has anybody used Boxbe before? I like the basic idea but I'm really leery of giving them the kind of access they need to do that job.

Somewhat.

Texas teens accused of forcing girls into prostitution.

Okay, so this whole thing is horrifying and, apparently in order to help my brain cope, I latched on to this particular quote from police lieutenant Ken Dean:
"To have such young individuals in a somewhat organized business, a forced prostitution ring, is somewhat alarming"

Yeah. It is, in fact, somewhat alarming. But I can think of so many other things it also is.
Insert creative bad word of your choice here.

A meme from MoStuff

A music-tastes meme. Go to this convenient compilation site right here and find the five years you were in high school. (For me, it's six. Deal with it.) For each year, admit to the song that was your favorite at the time, then decide which one you now generally consider to be the best song on the list. Lastly, pick the year's worst song, snarking optional.
And once again, I say that I hate 'your single favorite' memes. But for some reason, here I am doing that thing.

Quick update

How the hell do I not have the Repo Man soundtrack?

It would be precious if it weren't so dangerous.
White separatists protest MLK Day in Jena LA.

Among the gems of enlightenment uttered today:
"It's time for us white folks to start getting some of our rights back."
I sure am tired of seeing white men getting oppressed in this country. If only the Man would stop keeping them down.

Stupid assholes.
