Marc
I am very quiet. Let the months and years come, they can take nothing from me, they can take nothing more. I am so alone, and so without hope that I can confront them without fear. The life that has borne me through these years is still in my hands and my eyes. Whether I have subdued it, I know not. But so long as it is there it will seek its own way out, heedless of the will that is within me. -- from All Quiet On The Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque
One. Oh no. One Cubs loss + One Astros win = One Sad Marc. I've not been able to do much lately. I feel almost the same as I did when the Bulls were making their first championship run in 1991 -- only back then I didn't have much else to do. Lately, I've been glued in front of the television watching both the Cubs and Astros (or if neither is on, then I'll watch more Headline News for the ticker scores and cringe as I see the Cubs lose a comfortable lead in the 6th) that I haven't been able to do any of my work. I've got stuff to do, that's a certainty. I've found myself lying awake at night going over scenarios -- Cubs win/Astros lose then we're fine, and blah blah. Different combos. You know the deal. I just wish this whole deal was done, and the Cubs were in the playoffs and that we were the World Series champs. Wouldn't that be nice?
Two. Have been watching (unbelievably) Newlyweds on MTV quite a bit lately. I can't explain why I think I'm addicted to that show. I don't even want to say it. Jessica Simpson is like a small child and that Nick LeShay dude is like her dad/husband and he's trying to get her to not be so spoiled anymore, and they're put into funny situations that bring out her spoiledness plus she farts and burps alot -- which we all know I find funny -- so I end up watching that damn show with a kind of shiteating grin on my face like, 'I like this show, but I don't know why.'
Three. The computer's getting ready to go on the fritz, I'm suspecting. It was buzzing so loudly last night it woke me up. No shits here, kids. The damn thing has something wrong with the fan or something, and it just is driving me nuts trying to figure out what I can do about it (besides hitting it to make it stop). So, it buzzes sometimes, but not all the time. I don't know. I don't get it. I don't understand computers. But I better start, cause I'm supposed to be someone that (vaguely) works with them. Better get my shit together, right?
Four. Finally. Scott. I never thought I would have the chance to say this again (ie- I never thought I'd find myself either listening to a new LTJ record, or them putting another one out), but you're way right about Less Than Jake's new album, Anthem. It is fantastic. I can't believe that I've been finding myself wanting to listen to it in strange situations, like in class tapping my fingers along to a song that's stuck in my head. What's your favorite track? I'm claiming "The Brightest Bulb Has Burned Out" for now, thought that could change. I feel that "That's Why They Call It A Union" is pretty sharp, too. You?
Up Next: Anthem by Less Than Jake; The Instinct by Denali; and, File Under Black by None More Black.
Tomorrow: The Whining of the laptop computer on my tabletop. Donations?
