I’m continuing my boycott of every Sunday show except for CBS Sunday Morning, so let me know what happens. I finally got a couple hours sleep and will be on the rails to trails with the pup.
Don’t forget Bitsy:
Start off the new week big!

Can’t sleep.
For my era, it will always be Brent. Thought about it for a while, while lying there petting the dog. Let it grow. I love the old Donna and Keith Godchaux shows, especially the Terrapins, and Hornsby and Vince did fine after him, but I loved Brent. Also, Bird Song:
And if you are just going to tell me I am a loser, or that the music sucks, just DIAF.
What part of insomnia do you not understand?
*** Update ***
At one point, I had over a thousand hours of tapes. They all got stolen when I went to basic training, but this Greek Theatre 1986 (on 22 June, my birthday) was one of my all time favorites. I think it had the best Stella Blue, ever, and it had a funny version of Weir doing Women are Smarter. A lot of the show was recorded bad, the Jack Straw was off beat, but it had a great Cassidy and Mama Tried.
At any rate, how do I download the whole show and dump it in my Itunes?

I sort of feel worse than the time I rick’rolled you with the Whitey Tape, but for reasons I can not explain, this feels necessary:
Don’t hate me because I am beautiful.

Dan Savage should be proud.
Also – little known fact. Did you know John has a thing for bad movie reviews? On a scale of zero to Battlefield Earth, the linked review of Pandorum scores roughly a Kingdom of Heaven.

Call me crazy, but making a bunch of elementary schoolers sing about the President sounds pretty weird. Does anyone have any particular insight into how this seemed like a reasonable idea? This doesn’t seem like something I would cross school disctrict boundaries to yell at someone about, but it does seem like a great way to set up a bunch of kids for future disappointment. When those kids find out what the word ‘politician’ means (compromise, empty rhetoric and undisclosed conflicts of interest) they will be pissed at their teacher for setting their expectations so high.
So there’s my outrage. Now let’s hear some outrage about this.
Maybe it’s the liberal in me speaking, but jesus christ. Ech.

Made it back in one piece, Sam and Lily said their goodbyes, and now back at Balloon Juice HQ:
According to Tammy, Lily was awful the whole time I was gone. Mean to Sam, took over Sam’s bed, and ran off twice, forcing Tammy to run around in the rain. Lily was happy to see me, though.
