Among my first purchases as a kid: Europe, Mister Mister, Pseudo Echo, and, um, Bruce Willis.

This will occupy my time as I recuperate from my broken leg. Damn that out-of-control race car.

My resolve is weakening as well. But I can distract myself with other stuff, like the new Eels.

Brewers at Cincy, and scored 5 in the first, then 4 more before an out was recorded in the 2nd--thanks to a Ryan Braun grand slam. Nice.

I'm definitely at my least rational when watching sports.

Eric Bachmann - To the Races. Can't get enough of it. Love it. Plus, our names are only different by three letters!

And yet the footage is often surprisingly dark. I don't want to squint to see a concert film.

Count me in, too. I love Trace, but Okemah gets more spins. I didn't care for The Search at all...

I've been a big fan from the beginning, but "Things the Grandchildren Should Know" still surprised me... it might be my favorite Eels song. Like many of his songs, it's emotionally devastating but it also expresses real wisdom and a touching fortitude.

I have served two combat tours with the 82nd Airborne Division, one each in Afghanistan and Iraq. While I served in the Global War on Terror, the actions and statements of my leadership led me to believe that United States policy did not require application of the Geneva Conventions in Afghanistan or Iraq.

I'd buy that for sure.

This time around I've been avoiding the new stuff, too, although not militantly. I've heard 4-5 of those listed, but only once or twice... there's something to be said for anticipation.

That explains how Ms. England ended up preggers, but not why America needed to torture anyone.
