Singing about the Sopranos when the time is right 
| | I had a post here about the final Sopranos episode, but got busted for spoiling things, by readers who hadn't seen it yet. |
| | Forgive me. I hadn't even thought about that. Should have. |
| | I'll give it a couple days then put the post back up again. It's not like I had anything important to say about it anyway. |
| | By the way, if you don't want your suspense spoiled, don't look up anything Sopranos-related on Wikipedia. The updating of various Sopranos-related entries happened almost immediately. Watching that was more interesting to me than the show, actually. |
Back and froth
| | Got a good night's sleep, awakening at about 5pm, London time. That's 9am here. That's the kind of jet lag I love. The West is the best, Jim Morrison sang. (In a song so beautiful and creepy that it made the perfect anthem for Apocalypse Now. Thinking about that, the parallels between Morrison and Poe jump out at me. Of course I'm not alone.) |
| | Now I'm taking time on a quiet Sunday to begin catching up. (I'll never finish. C'est le travail.) As I work on that, I'll build a link pile here. |
| | ...how do you argue with a man who¹s calling you an ignorant, egotistic, boorish monkey? And more importantly, how does one with a reasonable mind listen to the arguments of one who uses such prose? |
| | ...His is the extreme view, not the views of those he labels utopians. I know many of the people he attacks in the book, and not one of them has ever expressed the cultural significance of the digital age from such an extremist stage. |
| | Lieberman supports attacks on Iran. This could be achieved mostly with air attacks, Mr. Lieberman said, adding, "I¹m not talking about a massive ground invasion of Iran." This is to protect Americans in Iraq. Given the absent success of that operation, Sen. Lieberman's position is just nuts. Seems to me, anyway. |
| | Dave Rogers: The three legs are responsibility, authority, and accountability. And seated at the top is civilization. Good points. As a test, try kicking one out. Dave's also working on losing weight. Me too. I peaked at 191.5 at the end of my last trip, and started back on Atkins (not because it's good, but because it worked last time). I've been on it since then, strict except for a couple minor lapses in London last week. (The first choice, after many hours without food, was to keep starving or have a croissant. I opted for the latter. The second was to much on a little bread at a dinner.) Now I'm home and back on track. This morning I checked in at 186.5. Breakfast was eggs with cheeze. My target is 165 or less. My main exercize is shooting hoops, for what that's worth. |
| | "The first thing that happens is extraordinary hallucinations akin to mescaline," explained McCoy. "I mean extreme hallucinations" of sight and sound. It is followed, in some cases within just two days, by what McCoy called a "breakdown akin to psychosis." But it's not torture. Technically. |
