TALK ABOUT SELLING YOUR SOUL For sale on E-Bay: a ghost in a jar. There is something deeply, deeply disturbing about this. I can't quite put my finger on it, though. (Link via William Gibson's blog) Monday, June 02, 2003
FOR SALE Anyone want to buy an aircraft carrier? It's only 61 years old, only had three owners, and it's only $4.5 million! Floating casino? The ultimate party boat? Become a personal global seapower? CLARKE PRAISES E-MAIL Sci-fi author Arthur C. Clarke said: "I cannot imagine life before e-mail," Clarke told the news service. "Our ancestors live[d] in a tiny limited world, knowing nothing about what was going on beyond the horizon. We do live in an infinitely richer world and are definitely better for it.""Tiny limited world" before e-mail? Um...what about the telephone? Or radio? The telegraph? "Snail mail"? MOVIE REVIEW Saw "Bruce Almighty" this past weekend. It was...cute. Not nearly as funny as I had hoped. Jim Carrey seemed reserved, almost as if he were wanting to show everyone that he could really act. The cast is solid, the story somewhat formulaic, but nothing really new or groundbreaking. ...well, except for the scene where Carrey makes Steven Carell (formerly of "The Daily Show" on Comedy Central) speak in tongues. I almost peed my pants. Morgan Freeman makes a really good God, too. His husky, reassuring voice almost makes me want to believe in...well...you know. It makes a good matinee, but don't pay full price for this one. Better yet, wait for it to appear on HBO. A qualified "thumbs up". THE MORE THINGS CHANGE... Watching Game 4 of the Stanley Cup on ABC. It's nice to see that the officials have cracked down on all of the clutching & grabbing. </sarcasm> As much as I want the Ducks to win, y'all know it'll be New Jersey that hoists the Cup, right? FAMILY IS IMPORTANT, UNLESS IT INTERFERES WITH REDISTRICTING Seen over at Talking Points Memo, it's being reported that Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX) personally sent state troopers to a neonatal intensive care unit in an effort to apprehend Rep. Craig Eiland. Bailey said Crais told him, in an interview last week, that Perry had a letter that Eiland had previously written to Craddick, informing him that attention to his hospitalized infants could cause him to miss some House sessions.What kind of a sick bastard sends state troopers to a hospital to arrest a man who may be visiting his premature twin babies? Is a redistricting vote really more important than that? Republicans seem to be more concerned with children before they are born. After birth, well, fuck 'em, they take their chances like everyone else. GODDAMN! I just killed a big, black scorpion-looking spider on my keyboard. He came strolling out from underneath like he owned the joint. I squished 'em. Pardon me whilst I change my shorts. Sunday, June 01, 2003
