Finally a decent episode of The Colbert Report. It's been too long.
You know, I think the dichotomy of the Democratic presidential race is well illustrated by the images that come up on the first couple pages of Google image searches for the candidates. Here's a signifying Obama;
And a Clinton;
Any moment I expect Hilary to ask Barack, "Why so serious?"
I have to say, Hilary's rhetoric's been downright obnoxious lately. I think I'm tipping more towards Obama lately, though I don't think he's quite Superman. Aquaman, maybe.
I'm still tapping away at A History of a Fake World. I made some decent progress on Tuesday. Four thousand years down, four thousand to go. I keep writing and rewriting the first script of the comic in my head. It oughta be damn near perfect by the time I'm done. Of course, I'll be really irritated if it's not . . .Current Mood:  oooo Current Music: "Lost in the Harbour" - Tom Waits |

Augh. There's a gardener outside making arrhythmic tapping noises I can't sleep around even though I'm strornry sleepy. I'm currently blasting Prince and the Revolution in a puerile attempt to annoy the gardener right back. I don't think it's working.
Thinking right now feels like trying to puncture a granite block with a butter knife. And to-day was yet another day where I had all sorts of plans.
Oh. I think he's stopped . . . more later . . . PERHAPS.Current Mood:  sleepy Current Music: "When Doves Cry" - Prince and the Revolution |

Watching the season finale of Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles on Monday (or, if you're like me, you watched it online), you might have been asking yourself, "Who's this band they're talking about? Who are these 'Smiths'? Golly, I wish someone would post a YouTube clip of them in his blog."
Well, fear not, friends. Because it so happens that's just the kind of hero I can be sometimes;
Also, I've discovered that Colin Meloy of the Decemberists recorded an entire album of Morrissey covers. And it's public domain now, and available as a free download at the Internet Archive. And it's pretty good, I think. I could only find one clip on YouTube of Colin performing one of these, though; here.
EDIT: Incidentally, Morrissey's first name is not Paul. It's Steven. His full name is Steven Patrick Morrissey. And now that's something else you know.Current Mood:  awake Current Music: "Jack the Ripper" (Morrissey cover) - Colin Meloy |
