| 5:00p | Well, what else can one say, really... Somewhere between down and out in the magic kingdom, bigby the wolf met Lucifer, The ex-archangel Morningstar over a drink at the latter's bar, Lux. And upon meeting the star of the morning, he spake thus: "Being a wolf in the kind of world we live today, sucks", he said as he took a moment to pause and stare at the waitress' helmline and gulp down the last of his shot of tequila. "And," said he, "...being a lone wolf sucks even more but what would just kill it for me, Lord, would be being a lone wolf in limbo. Now that, isn't exactly what I'm looking for here, you know!" He then hurriedly hasted to add a But: ... "Looking at the brighter side of things, there's at least something at the other end, isn't there?" --- From books I've recently finished reading: Fables (Legends in Exile and Animal Farm) Lucifer Down and out in the magic kingdom. ...these books must be read by as many people as possible for the wholesome sole cause of the betterment of the entire humanrace and self-righteousness.  pleiadesCurrent Mood:  blankCurrent Music: Free Fallin' - Tom Petty |
| 6:08p | Rantomness and corniness alert The Rainforest Schmainforest episode of South Park sums up the reason behind the root cause of all self-sacrificing activism that plagues our lovely planet today so wonderfully well. People's Army Leader: Enough! Choir Teacher/Rainforest Activist: Well, we hope that our gift of song has warmed your hearts. People's Army Leader: We're not getting gay with any kids okay! Choir Teacher/Rainforest Activist: Yes... so do you have a phone with you to use? People's Army Leader: Heh Yes! We have a phone! It's right over there next to the 12 person jaccuzi. Now get out of here before we kill you. Choir Teacher/Rainforest Activist: Err.. Is it because of the Jewish boy's choreography? Kyle: Hey! People's Army Leader: You white Americans make me sick. You waste food oil and everything else because you're so rich and then you tell the rest of the world to save the rainforest because you like it pretty flowers. Straightfaced TV announcer 1: We're here live in San Jose, Costa Rica where hundreds of rich Americans have gathered for the save the rainforest summit. Everyone is here so they can feel good about themselves and act like they aren't the ones responsible for the rainforest peril. Straightfaced TV announcer 2:That's right Bob! And of course the main attraction today is the darlin' kids choir, Getting Gay With Kids. All of them must be backstage preparing at this very moment. I think some Indian shows need some good writing. That's what they need. Am thinking of starting a community on Orkut. Getting Good Indian Writing To The Indian Television. A community devoted to the development and improvement of the brain sapping energies of the power that is the Indian Television, and its audience. pleiadesCurrent Mood:  boredCurrent Music: Comfort Eagle - Cake |
| 6:29p | Simple Things "Simple things" is a good album, and no one but Simon Warner puts what it is all about better in his review on PopMatters. - "Zero gravity? Eclectic grooves fade too fast". Excerpt from the article above: "But I still have the sense that Simple Things won't have that crucial staying power. I've already heard it used in upmarket bars and designer restaurants as the scene-setting soundtrack for drinkers and diners. Its inoffensive yet broadly anonymous voice, like buried sounds that haunt us in the supermarket aisle, brushes our consciousness but evaporates all too swiftly. " Also, Sophie Barker seems to have been gifted with a pretty ironic last name for all her goodness before the microphone. Heh. pleiadesCurrent Mood:  calmCurrent Music: Every Planet We Reach Is Dead - Gorrilas |
| 6:31p | Zen and the art of blog maintenance I have three posts waiting to be posted since the mostly jobless morning and I can't because blurty decided to *bleep* up its database, so what do I do? I watch the Free Fallin' video followed by the Back Pages video followed by the You Can Call Me Al video (most worth-it) and then rearrange my cupboard and contemplate getting some real work done. Might seem lame but that's what I do! Aaah! Zen Master Gogo! pleiadesCurrent Mood: calmCurrent Music: You Can Call Me Al - Paul Simon |
| 7:17p | A Song For The Asking I am an opera singer I stand on painted tape It tells me where Im going And where to throw my cape I call my costars brother I call my costars knave I play both good and evil parts I sing to verdis grave And every single morning By 10 am Im dressed My rehearsals last for hours and hours With diligence I have been blessed Some people, they call me monster Some people, they call me saint My talent feeds my darker side Yet no one will complain I am an opera singer I sing in foreign lands Ive sung for kings in europe And emperors in japan And after each performance People stand around and wait Just to tell me that they love my voice Just to tell me that Im great I am an opera singer I will sing when youre all dead I sing the mountains crumbling apart I sing what cant be said I am an opera singer I sing in foreign lands Most people seem to know my name Or at least know who I am. I Am An Opera Singer sums it up the best IMHO. pleiadesCurrent Mood: listlessCurrent Music: Opera Singer - Cake |
| 8:40p | Duty Calls and all that jazz My friend, and a wise friend he is, recently (around 7:30 System Time) suggested that I had been spending way too much time on the internet since my return to the 24/7 broadband civilization day before yesterday. Bingeing would be the right word I presume. And he was right, like all good friends usually are. So that got me thinking: I assumed that I could probably spend time in a far more constructive fashion elsewhere; However, I reasoned with myself, it won't be very civil if I didn't claim my right to free internet at the cost of a bunch of lakhs I'll be returning with deductions later in life, now, would it? Only, I've got to get back to work now. *sad depressed smiley* pleiadesCurrent Mood:  sadCurrent Music: I Only Have Eyes For You - The Flamingoes |
