Voted! Good luck on the next cut. The top 2 when I voted were "Save Sick Children" and "Feeding 1 Million Children Daily". Kinda tough competition...

Wear a funny hat. People will say "How much for the hat?" and you can say "Not for sale, but how about these awesomly rare collector Elvis plates?".... And, yeah, set up as much as possible on Friday night.

Yeah, that's a really good point. It's exciting to "move right in" as soon as you close, and that's probably what most people do on a first home. But having some time to paint, clean up, replace lights, etc, with an empty place is really really going to make it more livable when you do move in. DO IT!!!!!!!!!

Funny scene: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, when the whale is falling and coming to grips with his existence. That last line of "Hellllooooo groooouuuunnd" still throws me into a uncontrollable laughing fit when someone says that. Heavy scene: In Million Dollar Baby, when Hillary Swank takes her mom to the house she just bought her, and her mom blasts her because it's going to mess up her welfare. The mom is one of the most memorable characters I've ever seen in a movie. I've only seen that movie once, and I refuse to see it again. I had no idea what it was about when I saw it, and it

Mr. and Mrs. Jules, Well done, people! Ah, that new-baby, top-of-the-head smell is one of life's simple pleasures. Enjoy. And get some rest.

Happy Birthday, Jeff. Thanks for everything. PS... don't pay any attention to that whole "fear" thread thing. Rogue trolls have invaded the board.

Best Use of an Accordion on a Rock Album - REM: You Are The Everything

After hearing some of his AGIB stuff like the hammered dulcimers, the big smashup part of ALTWYS, then the drone, and then hearing Mobile, it seems that he was toned down a bit on SBS to me.

Tony called. It's going to be a Greatest Hits compilation, due in stores for Christmas. Jay's taping the infomercials now.

Happy nearly-belated birthday. You got 8 minutes left - knock yourself out!

The more I listen to this and to Sunny Feeling, the more I hear some prog in them. Which is good.

Indy pics #6 and 7. Jeff lied to us, people. Said the suits were packed away on ice...

Apparently you were too busy texting? (BTW, I noticed in Indy that the crowd didn't erupt when it started, which I thought was kinda weird).

Oh. Must be a currency thing, then. Carry on.

That's odd. Must have something to do with the international date line or GMT or something like that.

Don was French.

Marah - "So What if We're Out of Tune (With the Rest of the World)"

One of my truisms which I have always tried to hang onto is "Always clap for the band, no matter how bad they are." Really. I mean, they get up in front of people and get all vulnerable and stuff, and then the least I can do in return is clap a little. They have way more guts than me at that point, so give it up a little, you know? Just seems like basic respect to me. What does anyone have to gain by dis'ing a performer? I don't get it...

Surprisingly overlooked here. At the risk of e-wrath, I really do like this one.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ! ! ! Fixed it for ya.

THIS POOP'S GOT AIR BAGS!!!!!!
