Damien Rice followed by Patty Griffin (pdf press release)
I'm glad I checked the listing.. made a point to watch for Patty Griffin-
came to me on the radio, afternoon at Iris's: "Sweet Lorraine"... and got older album on tape with "oh, Mary, you're covered in roses... / Jesus said Mother,..". oh, oh and "Hey Tony what's so / good about dying? think I might do a little dyin' today. looked in the.. blew himself away." I love those songs.
One thing - the only thing? - I miss about driving is the music.
-am glad I watched because of Damien Rice.
so familiar, why? like Josh Ritter? I even went to check, was Damien Rice on the reverse side of that tape from Paul? no - Richard Hawkley. but so familiar, the familiarity of what I like.
Amie- and: Can't take my eyes off you-
(I love Amy song "Amy what you wanna do? I think I could stay with you. for a while, maybe longer -- longer if I do..." and Amanda: "light of my life / fate should have made you a gentleman's wife." any Anne song? ah. less but still: She's talking in her sleep It's keeping me awake and Anna begins to toss and turn. 30 sec clip: Counting Crows - Anna Begins - Last.fm )
this leaves all the rest, what's posted below. this is the mood I'll not do without. katecutrer more.
lyric. cadence. line.
this musicfeeling I want to have in common with the person I live with.
not so hard to get old-
Stones taught me to fly Love taught me to lie Life taught me to die So it's not hard to fallWhen you float like a cannon .. and I don't want to scare her ..It's not hard to grow

Polygamy
22 Mar 2006 by Brian Interestingly, all the sudden, the issue of polygamy is everywhere. There is anew show airing on HBO, I'm reading a book that talks about it, and this morningI heard an interview of Mark Henkel, who is the founder of Truthbearer.org, ...Esoterically Speaking - http://esotericallyspeaking.blogspot.com
did a blog search bcs wondering if this is obvious. first, Big Love initiates my interest in polygamy, and then this week it appears on the two tv shows I specifically like: Boston Legal and Colbert. plus, three guys talking about it as I was walking out of GSB. huh.

Man. Boston Legal is like....a baseball world series shut-out. With all the BL players hitting home runs in every game. Just mind blowing. And I don't even like baseball.

I'm always amazed at Stephen's savvy in politics and social affairs. The man's so WITH it. In fact, I've learned new lingo from his shows. But from what I've seen from the get-go, I suspect Stephen has an ultra-high IQ. Geez, the man's just so incredibly smart.

Never, ever trust me with moderation.I once had a problem with persistent trolls on a forum I was asked to co-moderate. I thought I'd cracked the problem when, after several unsuccessful attempts to IP-ban the idiots responsible, I hit on the bright idea of banning *.*.*.*
And no, even eight or nine years later, the forum owner doesn't see the funny side.

Haggard saw Cash at San Quentin in 1958.
At San Quentin was recorded live by Cash in 1969.

on review, metachat had a nice day, all inter-threading with references developing, a "we've got tagline" sort.
as it was a nice happy (and short) day in the mailroom, dB by at the end, watching previews on hbo of biglove, rg int'd in bill paxton. earlier at register singing And I aint seen the sunshine since I dont know when and rh praises that concert/album and I try to remember who was it that was an inmate in attendance at San Quentin concert, someone pretty big, almost want to say Willie Nelson but no.. ah Merle Haggard, I think. yes. checked and yes. telling rg later and read him from my confirming hit [Ask Metafilter] the quote from Haggard about Cash treating the guards the way the inmates wanted and rg told me about the photo of Cash flicking them off, and I found it. and now here's a bit of synchonicity (I mean, I've been looking at metachat for some many days, and..):
work anecdote: So one day, I'm talking to my then-supervisor, a white-haired Greek guy who's pretty laid back. This is the same guy who told me that one of the main reasons why there isn't a strict dress code policy here is that he knows we don't get paid a lot and it's just one way of making things easier for us data monkeys.He had a bunch of printouts of artists, musicians, etc. in his cube, including that famous picture of Johnny Cash flipping off the camera that became the basis for an ad after Cash lost one year at the Grammys. Well, one day we were talking about something, and I got really mad at him, or the situation or something. So I said to him, "No offense, but..."...and pointed to the picture. posted by TrishaLynn 31 March 15:12

brooke and joanie are the only two I feel like watchng now.
(neena and sara got really boring to me... danielle still seems cool but not striking. molly sue has a cool face but also boring ~ one expresion? she probably has more but in my mind only one.)
could brooke do cover girl though? ie would cover girl be okay with her winning?
brooke seems far and away the best. gisellebundchenish~?. so is that when they say highfashion, not commercial?
but covergirl wld want nnenna, or leslie might be okay, ~right?. joanie'd be okay but dsn't seem like she'll win ~ why? ordinary? the thing is, her face has very much become more interesting to me over a few episodes.
twop: - There are actually multiple girls (Danielle, Leslie, Brooke) whose personalities I like this season. Wow. That never happens.
- Also, regarding the girl's "dream profession" answers. These hamsters could have answered "unicorn wrangler" for all the seriousness intended in their responses. C'mon, they're silly hamsters answering Tyrant's silly questions - I doubt any one of them really wanted to do what they said. And "criminal justice investigator" is kind of like saying you want to be in the X-Men when you grow up.
-I can no longer listen to the phrase "all the potential IN. THE. WORLD." Zip it, Tyra. -Hey, did you guys know that when Tyra was a model, she knew she'd need to have a career after her career?Did you know that career was that of talk show host?What would you like to do, Joanie?"Well, I'd really like to be a mothe--"--Oh, I've always wanted to be a mother, but mememe III meme...Wait, what do you mean "interview? Isn't this just a way for girls to set me up for my own stories? Isn't that what a talk show is? -Hey did I imagine the following exchange?Brooke: I've always wanted to be a a-nes-tes-tis...Tyra: You mean a anest-ogist?Brooke: Yeah.Are they both trying to say anesthesiologist? Because........BWAHHH!
-Commercial poses are friendly/peppy/cheerful. Big smiles, fun activities, casual poses.Every time they say 'edgy' (or even 'fierce' for that matter) I substitute it with 'intimidating.' Confidence to the point of hostility... with a touch of dismissive. somewhat aggressive. Tyra mentioned leaning forward with hunched shoulders, like Nnenna's and (too a lesser extent) Danielle's ice photo.But of course, instead of anyone actually taking the time to define their terminology or cite examples, we get Jay's unhelpful help to Gina on the ice set shoot ("Not like this *stands upright*... like this *leans slightly to his right*").
- Man: baby, how was I? Tyra: you wanna be on top?

Dear Amused,
Sometimes, in trying to discover the hidden message that might be lurking in a sentence, it is useful to stare at it until it begins to look like something else. I have a feeling this is what poets do sometimes, and perhaps also psychoanalysts.
I have been staring at this sentence for a while, watching how it changes shape and meaning: "I suggested that if my wife took the trouble to dress up more then perhaps gay men would not hit on her husband."
I recognize in this rather impossible formulation the trickster, or rather the mind working as the trickster, inverting meaning in order to serve desire's purposes of subterfuge. I certainly don't think it's anything as simple as just "You're obviously a latent homosexual." Rather, I imagine that in your world, certain kinds of play provide an outlet for socially unacceptable notions as well as for the erotic in a larger sense -- not the homoerotic particularly but more generally the love of style, color, fashion, appearance, theatricality, fine things: the sensual realm.
The sentence itself, being so absurd, reflects a reality that is utterly unrecognizable, like an inkblot. It has no clear meaning of its own; it is, rather, a conundrum, a shadow, a mystery.
In staring at it, it's hard to know what to focus on at first. But I focus on "gay men would not hit on her husband." It sounds like a trope for something gone awry. "Gay guys hitting on me" is a metaphor for something, a displacement of desire perhaps, an erotic frustration, something.
It might be restated thusly: "I suggested to her that if she took the trouble to dress up more, then perhaps X might happen," X being some positive and desired outcome. But what would that be?
... It could be very frustrating for someone else to figure all this out. So I suggest, for your wife's sake, that at the expense of being so amusing, you try to be a little more direct.

content is signal advertising is noise S/N is the ratio between these two
and the history of the web is the battle between them most webpages offer a tiny amount of S in a sea of N (and not just ad N but also garbage links and decoration)
websites with good content attract eyeballsbut eyeballs use bandwidthwhich costs money advertising tries to pay for bandwidth by decreasing the S/N
Google's empire was built entirelyon minimizing the N-cost of text-ads(but there's still vast room for improvement in matching text-ads to page-content) before the bubble burst there was an insane competition for eyeballs at any cost(YouTube is repeating this gamble)
rss paradoxically tries to strip the N to attract eyeballs sacrificing the decoration and the garbage links(so that all rss feeds look alike and you can no longer tell what site you're visiting without doublechecking the titlebar)but inevitably the N creeps back in as images and media and ads in rss(i deleted the Huffington Postbecause their rss feed included an embedded sound file!)until your rss feed needs an rss feed of its own
but if we'd just GROW UP we could create simple clean high S/N pages that served as their own feeds...
like yours? like yours, I think. and agree (and I don't use rss and prefer all signal-text and hardly give a chance to noisy sites) and like the Grow Up although: how does growing up pay for the bandwidth?

spirituality-travel: distinctly uninteresting to me? why? (if it is because of some usual trappings, can these be specified, articulated?*
Food for the wandering mind [Ask Metafilter]
In a while I will be going on a round the world trip to do a bit of soul searching (and to have a lot of fun of course). I'm looking for books on the subject of travel, not the pragmatically oriented genre, but philosophically and spiritually inclined ones. I'd like to read true stories about open-minded people backpacking around the globe and learning something about themselves and the world.
I'd appreciate it if you could include a one-line summary with your recommendations, for example:
The Art of Travel by Alain de Botton: lighthearted, philosophically-inclined book about the peculiarities of travel.
Be Here Now by Ram Dass: successful Harvard psychologist ends up in India after experimenting with acid.

anyway my initial impulse to cpy this here (despite disinterest in genre of book suggestions solicitied) was for that one-line summary of Be Here Now, which I remember from P&P, square & blue, full of drawing, pulled by Rudi(ah recalled name) to show a customer?
*hmm a qstn for dB? take this to prufrck.

I have two ways that I try approach these kinds of decisions. One is through creating scenarios of anticipatory regret. Try to project yourself out a few years or so. Imagine that you took each one of the courses you're contemplating, and that it's now a few years down the line. Which course of action will leave you with fewer regrets? The second way is from something I read in a Carlos Castenada book - if two paths are leading in different directions, take the one with heart in it. All our paths lead to the same place - nowhere, death. So if you have a choice, take the path with heart.posted by jasper411 at 11:11 AM PST on August 29

Margene says, "I don't mind sharing you. I like sharing you. I like us all together, but...you can't use my words in our bed!"
Bill wheedles, "Well, I'm sorry if you got your feelings hurt." bah. Margene calls him on it, however incoherently: "You! Did something bad! You and Nicki! And you hurt my feelings." good.
JoJo warily asks, "You're not a Democrat, are you, Barb?" Yes -- God forbid Barb actually feel affinity with the party that's not vigorously lobbying to govern private relationships between consenting adults.
nice that the not isn't italicized wh wld make it too much. as is, it's witty to me.

The Pact - movie based on book by Picoult - this evening on lifetime.
good dad. and, like Ordinary People, an unhappy mother who is harder to sympathize with.
who needs something for her self-esteem from her children.
daughter writes in diary that mom's life would be over when her little girl grows up.
I skimmed the book a year or two ago.
Pub Weekly: Chris Harte and Em Gold bonded as infants; their parents have been next-door neighbors and best friends for 18 years. When they fall in love, everyone is ecstatic. Everyone, it turns out, except for Em, who finds that sex with Chris feels almost incestuous. Her emotional turmoil, compounded by pregnancy, which she keeps secret, leads to depression, despair and a desire for suicide, and she insists that Chris prove his love by pulling the trigger.
Cust Rvw: The copy I bought has a sticker on it saying, "Now a Lifetime Original Movie". Well, it sure read like one. Not a bad premise for a story, but the execution just didn't cut it for me. I didn't find the characters believable or sympathetic, especially the romantic relationships. And the writing was mediocre, and overly cliche'-ed. Ironically (?) enough, there were some minor errors that really irked me. She wrote that Chris drove around a corner and slammed his stick shift car into park. Well, stick shift cars don't have park. And then one of the characters was flying to Paris, though New York's LaGuardia airport. But, LaGuardia isn't an international airport. And then Chris' English essay was referred to as being "pro-choice", which it definitely was NOT. I suppose these are things that an editor/agent should be catching, but it just sort of makes me feel even more than this was a production-mill kind of story--got an idea? Good, let's churn out a book as fast as we can and make a TV movie out of it. I picked it up expecting some mildly entertaining fluffy reading for a weekend. I got fluffy reading, but next time I'm in the mood for some weekend reading, I won't be stopping by the Picoult shelf.
The New York Times Book Review, Megan Harlan: Unfortunately, [Picoult] burrows no deeper into this promising story than the legal-page-turner formula allows. that's as I remember. (~her plots are intriguing -- if there was more psychological nuance, could be so interesting as stories. )
appears she's a marketing machine (does't sound like a person!): see her amazon page.
