~ possible article for the toastmaster slice of life section: ‘man heard shouting ‘fuck this!’ as he is reminded of his wretched life when he crashes to his knees and right elbow on the ice patch before ‘super 7′ on walnut ave, west philadelphia, certain that any man in a gold suit is being comfortably transported to a mud bath and/or sensual massage in a stretch hummer’

~ back in georgia we find the same salads and soy nuts as are found in philadelphia; even our affiliates are consuming homogeneity in the form of over-roasted coffee. anyhow, here is a primer from the upcoming report on the picaresque journey of stereo m.archs. warning, contains spoilers! [jpg].

ps. jwuss, if you find this: word about th’espace has it that your choice of music is trite!

~ looks like 125 people were killed in one attack baghdad. we have mentioned repeatedly that someone voted for something there, like, sometime in the past. this means that the aforementioned 125 people did not really die, at least, not according to popular opinion ’round here, in washington, and on those tv things in your living room.

~ speaking of bombings, ‘that fat guy’ sharon says he is going to pull out of this month’s peace agreement like it is something uncommon for him.

~ cross post from sisyphean [w]: ‘rest in peace dr. thompson, author of this entry’s opening line.’

when jt [w] told us about this, we first thought, ‘that figures’, as the man made a point of living life off the hook; however, on reflection it is quite surprising to us, and defeating in way, considering his positions with regard to the current political situation in the united states. who knows if this had any bearing at all on thompson’s mental state, but doubtlessly such an interpretation will have its own effect. a man can make his own decisions, but it is sometimes selfishly sad for the rest of us will now miss all the work that might have been.

~ since we had nothing else to do this weekend, we set up wordpress 1.5; the commenting templates reverted to the default layout. rather that spend more time on them or have the three of you who post comments look at something ugly, we have turned off the comment feature until march 3.

~ wordpress 1.5 [w] is available! this marquis bullshit can’t be over soon enough for yet another reason. two weeks until we are feasting on biscuits in ferriday and tater tots in cheyenne.

~ googlebomb: social security

~ happy valentine’s day.

~ the democratic party, by and large, is full of irresolute and obsequious weaklings, so we do not care what happens to that worthless party. regardless, we would like to raise our cup to dr. dean – the only man not named dennis in the entire party – for taking the chair of the same organization which rallied to destroy him (and subsequently their chances for defeating bush in november) last spring. has it been a full year since we sat at a metal table in an unheated apartment and composed letters to all those primary states which we loathe so much?

~ seventeen more people were killed in iraq today; how that this be so? didn’t they vote on something over there?

~ stop asking us if we give a shit about christo in central park.
