You're not the boss of me now

[cyrano]

There's an article about the Malcolm in the Middle soundtrack (which apparently is the only place I can get a copy of the TMBG song they use) and a proposal for the Gilmore Girls soundtrack which I'm hoping is as cool as the music I'm hearing on the show. (Which, in case I haven't plugged it here, is very charming. The characters have depth, the writing is clever and witty, and the actors can handle deep characters with witty and clever writing. I salute them, and look forward to October 9th when some foolish programmers have arranged for GG and Buffy to be on at exactly the same time.)
Merlin's birthday party was last night, and I think I spent a couple of hours on the phone with my mom. It was a while, in any case.

In an aside that is bound to make me less popular than I already am, I'm already finding the ubiquitous placing of the US flag to be mildly distasteful. It's a shame that these people forgot how passionately patriotic they were until the tragic incident last Tuesday, and it's nice they've suddenly remembered that they live in one of the most ambitious democratic projects in the world since Classical Greece, but they're really beginning to trivialise the symbol of that project.
Thus ends the unpopular viewpoint for today. Tune in tomorrow when I say that people who are willing to give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither.

Yep. And I won't go around tearing down their flags, or mocking them in public. I'll just go to my journal page and say 'this makes me feel like they're cheapening something important to me'.
If they come to my journal page, they want to know my opinion. There it is.
*hug* by the way, in re: the AltaVista thing.
