Week in Review...

The "Week In Review" for April 28th through May 4th, 2008...

The big winner this week is Emilie Autumn.  It started out innocently enough.  I was trying to find the song "Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want" from Ferris Bueller.  Of course they didn't put out a soundtrack.  And Dream Academy didn't release the song.  So I spent some time digging and searching and trying my hardest to find the song.  It turns out the Emilie Autumn covered the song, at least according to Wikipedia, so I checked her out on iTunes.  And whatdaya know, she's fucking awesome.  So now I've added a gazillion photos of her, I've got all her CDs, etc, etc.  And I've got the iPod in the car so I can listen to her whilest I drive.  Guess you could say I've got a small crush on our poor Ms. Autumn.

Aside from that, it was a week to be forgotten, in that nothing happened.  I made some progress on the driving range.  I feel like I'm starting to get a grasp on my golf stroke in general.  Now I just have to hit 20,000 more golf balls so that I can get some repetition down.

On the political scene, NC's primary is this coming Tuesday.  After that, the god damn liberals will stop coming to the state and filling the mind's of our stupid, bleeding-heart college kids with their double-speak and rhetoric.  And it looks like ole bitch Hillary might make it a close call in the Old North State.  That would mean that the two stupidest people in politics- bitch Hillary and Obama- would continue this laugh-fest until the bitter end.  And I can't wait for ole Hillary to throw her fucking kitchen sink in and eventually lose.  That's the worst kind of loss- the one where you fought your ass off, made a remarkable comeback and then lose anyway.  That is exactly what the bitch deserves.

Making some progress on Infinite Jest.  Its only the longest, most intense book I've ever read. Man, I will be so glad to finally be done with this book.  It will have taken everything I've got as a reader to finish it in 2 months.  And it must be done by June.  

But, the big winner is Emilie Autumn.  What an amazing talent.................

Thoughts on Phish

  The first time I heard about Phish was my senior year at Episcopal back in 1992. At that time in music history, grunge was just beginning to explode on the scene. Pearl Jam was about all we listened to. But I always kept time for my jam bands. I had already seen The Grateful Dead, The Allman Brothers Band, Widespread Panic and many others. CDs were still the way we listened to music, but cassette tapes were still around and were what you got all your bootlegs on. The internet didn't exist, or at least not to the public. Hearing about new bands was largely done by word of mouth. And that's how I heard about Phish. My first taste of Phish was their album "Lawnboy." I remember being impressed with the musicianship. I thought there was some Zappa-esque arrangements going on, as the music seemed to dart in crazy tangents. I also remember seeing a picture of the band and I thought they looked like a bunch of Trekky nerds. They definitely didn't look like MTV material,...

  At some point recently, the kids and I were telling each other stories. I can ’ t remember who went first, but Wyatt and Pepper each told their stories amid interruptions and corrections and suggestions. Let’s say for the sake of argument that Briar wasn’t talking yet, so it became my turn. Rather than the usual stories of kingdoms and unicorns and the garden variety stuff I usually went for, I decided to pull from my memory of past events. The kids listened in amazement, not really understanding  what I was talking about. The story was a hit. And I think I’ll share it with you now. It was the summer of 1993. I had finished my first year of college at The College of Charleston. At the end of summer, I would be transferring to NC State. I enjoyed College of Charleston very much. I loved the 9-to-1 girl-to-guy ratio. It had been a great year. But I had spent most weekends driving up and back from Raleigh to see my girlfriend Marcia. At some point during the year, I had decided...

Hillary F-in' Clinton

For the second day in a row, these god damn Hillary volunteers have taken up residence at my go-to coffee shop.  The bitch is campaigning here in NC tomorrow, so these fucking idiot children are all excited about the prospect of seeing their savior walk on water. And these god damn children are barely old enough to vote.  They still have their little heads in the clouds, thinking that Clinton gives a single damn about any of them.  This is the exact class of morons that can single-handedly ruin this country.  Them and the latinos, who probably won't be voting legally anyway.  But these kids haven't been out in the real world.  They haven't worked, sweated and then had asshole liberals tax them like crazy.  They'll see.  When their savior turns around and burns every one of them, they'll know they were stupid little fuckers all along. I'm really just pissed because I'd like to go to my coffee shop in peace and read my book without hearing these stupid fucking...
