Ok, Gates may not have all the answers (like dismantling the military), but christ rumsfeld was such a fucking pig, good fucking god. a total fucking pig.
oh and tim, the ibook is great. wish i had internet access, but that will have to wait. i got some interesting programs on it, and i paid for final cut express. have you used that before? i used it in my time based arts class for sound collages, still images with sound... i hope it edits movies because that's why i got it. the description said "make soundtracks for movies" or something like that, so i got it so rich could use it.
Ok, gates is gates. but not celebrating the fact that we'll never have to listen to or see the guy to be named never again is just cynical.
rich was telling me about that program, liz. I think you and yr ibook are my new best friends. Yr BOTH invited over for Christmas dinner; rich can come too i guess......
I wasn't saying we shouldn't celebrate...I was just expressing a fear, that's all.
But we know he's out, and the newly Democratic Congress won't trust any of Bush's nominees (theoretically speaking, of course) until they've been thoroughly rung out and hung out. So yay, no more Rummy. I don't think we've heard the last of him in our lifetimes, though.
yeah tim, you're going to have to help us figure out how to get sound files on the computer. remember when i was doing stuff like that for a class? i forgot what the little device we used is called. all i remember is we used final cut express. but, i suppose when i get internet access things will get easier.
so when's this christmas dinner? let me know so i can ask for the night off work soon. christmastime sucks at bn. rich and i will be having one too, and we have to watch how the grinch stole christmas so i hope you like that movie. (the real one, btw, not fucking ron howard)
ew, i just had some guy walk through with my boss and go, " i didn't know you were hiring such pretty girls now", what the fuck? sexual harassment case anyone? millions of dollars!
See, I just got some douchebag making a joke about how all people from the Middle East are "inbred." To which I responded, "Yeah, because Europeans never married their cousins."
Well, we now officially have a Democratic Congress.
I must say I find it odd that Republicans were so willing to concede contested elections in this cycle. I bet it's some Rovian trick, like let the Democrats lead and in the process dig their own grave.
I agree d, it feels like everyone should be looking over their shoulder.
Liz, that would be quite a scene if you guys joined my family for Xmas dinner. A Veghead would die of exposure within minutes of entering my family's home especially during the holidays...or else theyd die of starvation seeing as youd have nothing to eat but biscuits>>My family even manages to get some sort of pork mixed in with the fucking asparagus!
oh and I forgot to add the four extremely retarded greyhounds who like to stick their dripping snotty noses in everyones plates and have no nderstanding of any command whatsoever.
my parents can't seem to remember that i'm a vegetarian. my mom will say to my dad, "she doesn't eat meat" and he'll reply everytime, "you dont?"
what the fuck? i haven't eaten meat in years. and my mom tries to get me to eat mashed potatoes but i know she puts chicken broth in them.... she's sneaky.
This just seems to sum some things up...the policy statement for sending messages to the troops...
Policy Statement: It is the policy of Stars and Stripes that all personal messages it publishes are subject to approval. Only messages written in English can be accepted for publication; messages written in any language other than English will not be published. No messages will be accepted which, in the judgment of Stars and Stripes, are indecent, suggestive or offensive, or which contain text or pictures in poor taste.

I think this "good art is entirely completely subjective and there are no standards" bullshit that people with bad taste use as an excuse to hate on critics has got to go.
You're right D, but I think the other part of the problem is whats posed as an alternative...shit like slide shows to flash "punk images" as you listen to The Clash? How fucking boring and dreary and unimaginitive. So whatever year something was created its stuck there forever, and linked to whoever was president and whatever celebrity got a divorce, and all punk music is from the late 70s and can be accepted or denied in one big lump and so on and so on. It just makes more categories and puts up more boundaries and slices down the creativity and input of future audiences that much more. Grotesque. I really dont think music and computers mix. You can make art with computers but its a really shitty way to recieve things.
Well, the wide availability of the technology is so new that that's the only way people really can do things at this point. No one's had the opportunity to figure out exactly what we're supposed to be doing with this internet thing yet. I think we're on our way there, for sure, but the stumbling blocks appear to be as common as weeds.
You know I rag on alot of people as not doing anything and so forth, but I have to give it up to a current artist who is brilliant and doing a bang up job. That man is of course the incredible Crispin Glover. Just wanted to state that.
He's currently in the middle of a trilogy of films, Now Im cheating cuz I havent seen it (except in excerpts on IFC), but what I have seen is INCREDIBLE and Ive read as much as I can find, so I have a this weird realtionship with his new work in my mind, and I ve read lots of interviews with him etc, and his methods of distribution, his artistic intentions, the whole fuckin lot. He has no palns to release his new stuff on DVD, and the first of the three films aired before I even knew it was completed. The 2nd hasnt been shown yet (to my knowledge).

so long you squinty eyed condescending little fuck.
i seriously thought you meant he died... i told everyone at work this. i'm a moron.
This seems like good news...but who's Bush gonna replace him with? That possibility is kinda scaring the hell out of me right now.
hey rich, i'll actually be around tonite. so call if you feel compelled.
This is the guy Bush wants to replace Rumsfeld with.
Ok, Gates may not have all the answers (like dismantling the military), but christ rumsfeld was such a fucking pig, good fucking god. a total fucking pig.
Calling him a pig is giving him too much credit, Rich.
yeah, i know. but for some reason its a really cathartic epithet for me. but yeah, you are correct.
i am un chien andalou
jackie, please bitch-slap your fellow wisconsiners for me. thank you.

i don't like being in an office, it makes me feel lame. and weird.
but at least you have an income, now. look at it that way. and with that income you can save to move here with the rest of us!
I hate my job. Have I said this yet today?
that's true liz! i'll move out of wisconsin sometime in the near future.
i'm sorry you hate your job D. i don't hate mine.... yet.
ew, i just had some guy walk through with my boss and go, " i didn't know you were hiring such pretty girls now", what the fuck? sexual harassment case anyone? millions of dollars!
Wow, and it's only your second day!
yeah, i hit the jackpot!
See, I just got some douchebag making a joke about how all people from the Middle East are "inbred." To which I responded, "Yeah, because Europeans never married their cousins."
i can't believe i've been staring at a computer for this long. i think my eyes are gonna fall out.

That sounds like a holiday with my family.

So criticism is dead. All hail Pitchfork!
fuck, i read that too.
but the question I'd pose (going by their mindset), is what isnt dead you defeatist, cynical lazy ass cunts?
oh, and didnt you help kill it? thatd be my 2nd question.
I think this "good art is entirely completely subjective and there are no standards" bullshit that people with bad taste use as an excuse to hate on critics has got to go.

Not that I'm defending people for being mediocre, by any means.
You know I rag on alot of people as not doing anything and so forth, but I have to give it up to a current artist who is brilliant and doing a bang up job. That man is of course the incredible Crispin Glover. Just wanted to state that.
what is he doing rich?
He's currently in the middle of a trilogy of films, Now Im cheating cuz I havent seen it (except in excerpts on IFC), but what I have seen is INCREDIBLE and Ive read as much as I can find, so I have a this weird realtionship with his new work in my mind, and I ve read lots of interviews with him etc, and his methods of distribution, his artistic intentions, the whole fuckin lot.
