I think that it's important that we are aware of each other and that we care about things outside of ourselves."taken from an interview with ani difranco on cnn.com 2001 may 14this is exciting: christopher moore has finished his new book - finally ;-) and it should hit the stores sometime early next year. it's over 500 pages - killer. read this man. extremely funny stuff. contact me if you've been blessed enough to read something by chris. and, in other exciting news, Coyote Blue has been optioned into a movie and it looks promising. as opposed to every other time one of his books gets optioned - this one might happen! didn't see this coming? it's only going to get worse. just wait for dubya to fill up the supreme court with more idiots. medical marijuana will never get the right ruling with this current bunch. 2001 may 11this is an interesting piece about don delillo - from Reason magazine. for some time, delillo has continued to write exceptional novels, yet remains relatively unknown to the masses. i was given a delillo book back in high school, just when i was starting to learn how to expand my mind. it was an interesting tale, Great Jones Street, about the fall of a music god. his style stayed with me, and i've read a few more, including his masterpiece Underworld. so, do yourself a favor & check out his work. 2001 may 10it's almost friday! going to see U2 this weekend - should be an interesting show. i hope they play lots of goodies from the old days. not much else going on.....been real busy at work, so i've fallen behind on some communication. working on it, kids ;) 2001 may 9mia, my girl, is coming to visit! i just got to see her in lake tahoe, and now she is coming back to the midwest-side. too bad i can't get down to graduation this weekend. i miss my chambana kids - and another crew is leaving, bringing my circle of kids down in urbana to an even slimmer group. still give props to the ol' U of I, though. my four years at college kicked some serious boot-TAY! but, it's all about livin in the windy city..........nothing quite like summer in chicago. sweet. 2001 may 8i had to make some changes........things are not quite where i want them, and i have to hit up some of my behind the scenes pages. but, i couldn't stand it any longer. change is good - right? anyone else see that minute maid commercial with popeye & bluto? very interesting, and slate has been looking into this trend for awhile. what exactly is minute maid telling consumers? 2001 may 7okay, craziness. just a few minutes ago, the radio reported that lou reed was dead! however, they just got back on the air with the VP saying that it got a bunk press release from "reuters" which said lou had died in NYC last night. he's alive & well, been in europe for a few weeks!? thank jeebus. monday sucks. monday after a weekend of partying hard sucks. 2001 may 2things are starting to get back into a manageable groove - parties are in the works & i am back to giving you the goods: have no fear, the simpsons are here to stay - well, at least for 2 more seasons, with an option for a third. this is justice served! just when you are reaching the breaking point, all sorts of new stuff is coming to fill up our phishy reserves. one of the most promising efforts comes from the mockingbird foundation - a tribute album that is put together as if it were one actual phish show, complete with two sets & an encore. some really great artists are coming together to show their respect of the band, the phans, and music lovers all over! |
