Random Notes

  • I like the song Can't Hardly Wait, by the Replacements, even if it lent its name to and was featured in a 90s teen movie. I never saw that movie; it came out like 10 years after Pleased to Meet Me (the album on which the song first appeared); I don't really begrudge artists the right to make a heap of money from a bastardization of their work; and I don't fucking care what you say anyway.
  • Every day I go to the store and, using that miracle of left-wing economics, Food Stamps, purchase: A superfood drink, usually the Naked "Green Machine"; an Odwalla soy-protein drink; a bag of Snyder's of Hanover Jalapeno Cheddar pretzels; and a bag of organic almonds.
  • Reason to be proud of your heritage: According to The Guardian,
A recent poll found 63% of US Catholics want same-sex couples to have the same rights as heterosexuals, while 62% think abortion should be legal in most or all cases. That makes them not just more liberal than the Vatican, but also more liberal than most Americans.

Steve!

In the past week I have been listening to the Replacements - Tim almost non-stop.

Bastards of Young is particularly awesome. Find me on the google chat thing if you would like a sendspace link for it.
