i like edwards better, personally. that said, i could be totally cool with president obama. before this coronation continues, remember that in 2002 everyone had picked howard dean to be the candidate for 04.

http://www.apple.com/trailers/picturehouse...iler_large.html yeah - i want to see it in the theater, but it looks like i'd have to do it after work some night. i work across the street from cleveland's main art-house theater (or what used to be, although now it's iffy) and the idea of going home and driving back to catch it means i'll likely miss it. i've watched it three times now and it keeps getting better.

for the love of whatever god you choose to think can help, check out MAKERS by rocky votolato.

i pulled a dvd screener from demonoid. i'm a little drunk, so don't expect much of a review, but i loved it. del toro did an amazingly apt job at reimaging the fairy tale.

i had some decent old punk rock records, then i found out about ebay. i have some nice guitar amps and a lot less vinyl now. i had an incredibly rare misfits record that i paid $6 for new and sold for $200.

i think i've performed that operation on a wii game. that said, i think old fidel will hold out through the year.

i can't think of herzog and not think of kinski. i can't think of kinski and not think of this short film. http://youtube.com/watch?v=NqoO6VBibps

i'm working on moving out there if i can find a job teaching. we may be headed out this spring to scout around.

i bought some ugly-as-sin logitech bluetooth ipod headphones for $17. they look terrible, sound okay, but let me keep my ipod in my bookbag or inside pocket with a wireless connection to the ears. it's kinda nice.

the best way to improve the sound of the ipod is to get some headphones other than the earbuds that apple ships. they are OKAY, but far from premium.

today's c-span was neat -- a three way split on stem cell debate. the republicans against, the republicans for and the democrats.

blazin hazen has a few vids up. my friend scored the original vhs promo tapes at a thrift store. worth ever penny of the fifty cents the lot cost. heh. i like the TROPICAL GETAWAY track the best.

this would be a great excuse to go back out to joshua tree! that said, it would have been great to have george jones instead of george strait!

i liked niandra a lot.

pay as you go rather than loan spending is a good idea. militaristic priorities in a post-cold war world is not.

a friend lives in the city and calls it BODYMORE MURDERLAND. my suggestion is to not live on that end of town.

he was an amazing talent and made quite an impact. he was an innovator.

and then there's canton, ohio's Denny Hazen (aka - blazin hazen). he's a preacher now, but he was a mulleted rapper when it counted! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acRxVrey-vk

i think j-roc from trailer park boys is harder than this guy.

i was also underwhelmed by little miss sunshine. it was okay, but was a far cry from a classic in any sense. the characters were decent, but that was about it.

i lost count somewhere around 200 times, but it was probably closer to 350 screenings in a proper theater. my wife and i were both on a couple different cities performing casts for nearly 7 years. outside of midnight movies, i've seen casino royale twice and before that it would probably be empire strikes back for repeats in the theater.

?????????

i think it's so you know said band's shows aren't total sausage fests and you'll leave the couch to go pick up hot girls and hear good music next time they're in town.

i just got mine. post mii names or whatever again so i can get in on the madness.

i couldn't even fill in a top 10 for 2006. there wasn't much good released this year. i ended up with a top 4.
