Common Rotation

i am certain that you have not heard of this band, and certain that you ought to. first of all, so many of their songs are very funny. second of all, so many of them are totally applicable to everyone's life.

I'm getting
Tired of discussing the poetry of your second act
Psychoanalyzing just how I react to your
Your latest creation it's
Delusional grandeur
So switch on the TV 'cause I can't stand to look at you


okay, did you date that person, or was i the only one? i can't be; i know other people who've dated them. ahem. anyhow.

also, the last but not least reason you need to listen to this band: adam busch is one of the vocalists. yes, you know who adam busch is. last time you saw him he was helping spike build a buffybot.

go buy a cd! or six! and download all their free songs!

City Pages - Free Will Astrology:

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Harper's Index says the U.S. government spends more than twice as much on military defense than do Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran combined. The aggregate population of those four countries, on the other hand, is five times larger than America's 300 million people. One might reasonably conclude, therefore, that while the U.S. has a right to safeguard itself, its glut of weaponry is absurdly extreme. I'm not definitively asserting, Capricorn, that you, too, are over-invested in defending and protecting your interests, but the astrological omens suggest it's a possibility. Please look into it. In any case, consider freeing up some of your contracted, fearful energy and directing it toward more pleasurable and constructive goals.

pleasurable and constructive goals like pooping, miss i just ate several sticks of gum.

v. dull life update:

plumbing still going to hell. the plumber will be here in the morning. two of them! oh the excitement.

i made dinner for myself tonight. i scrambled two eggs, heated up some refried beans, smooshed it all together and put salsa on top. not nearly as good as it should have been, darnit. and i can't quite figure out why.

last but not least, i hurt some. bleh. what a dumb disease this is.

in case anyone was confused about this or wasn't sure.
