She was speaking on behalf of her tumors. Yes.

Oh, yeah!

I've never known anyone to be callous on the board! Is this our first board member death? Crucifixio Jones and netslob (didn't the latter say he was going to commit suicide?) don't count.

You don't say.

Do you take vitamins? I recently started a daily-vitamin regimen, marking the first time I've done so since I was popping Flintstones chewables all those years ago. I'm taking this particular multivitamin you can get from Target. One tablet has, among other things, 150% of the suggested daily value of vitamin C. I like to pretend that this makes me stand tall above the slain bodies of colds and scurvy, my own body sweating, bleeding, and pissing bright, orange-colored fluid.

I think the mods were within their rights to delete the pictures, though I wish I had saved them to my home computer before they did it.

Not digging this so much, but it hasn't been weak enough to put down. A little too heavy on the mysticism for my liking, and far too many scenes of philosophical wankery. It has a lot of funny parts, though, and Johnson comes up with some really beautiful writing. Which is enough to keep me going. Unless the books starts knocking it out of the park in the second half, this will definitely go down as my least favorite of the books of his I've read. 1. Jesus' Son 2. Tree of Smoke 3. Angels ====== 4. Already Dead

You can edit track lengths in iTunes, bro.

I'm glad I opened that thread at work. I hated this job, anyway.

Michael Jackson has died. RIP brah

The fact that you have to be the most retarded fucker alive to even think about doing something like that. That's what I didn't get.

Her tits aren't even that great; they're average. It's just given the rest of her, it was reasonable to assume they would be mangled or misshapen somehow. I bet her cunt smells like the end result of an expressed anal gland.

We're really lowering the bar with what's considered fuckable. Just because her tits are not bad? That changes nothing!

Sounds like King Kamala is having a hard time accepting the impending death of Michael Jackson.

It's 55 degrees right now, with tomorrow's high expected to be 76. Brisk.

Allah Akbar, indeed.

This year is the second or maybe even third year in a row where, at the beginning of the year—or late the previous year—I made a thread with the idea of keeping abreast of the forthcoming year's new music releases. This was also the second (or maybe even third) year in a row where, after listening to bunch of new mediocrity, I gave up on my mission before the start of summer. I'm so terribly disinterested in new music; it was only within the past couple of days that I gave the new Kanye West a shot, which is why this morning marked the appearance of the first post wherein I discussed my feelings on the album itself rather than just its critical reception. Maybe I should listen to Chinese Democracy now, huh.

It's not surprising that some people have given to overpraising this record—very popular mainstream artist makes personal, comparatively weird and difficult album that has been greeted with some vocal measure of disdain by said artist's fanbase—but it's a temptation I can resist. There are some good songs here, enough of them to make the album work, but, like a lot artistic statements born of something so deeply personal, 808s & Heartbreak occasionally doesn't know when to quit. Some songs go on for far too long, others (I'm looking at you, "Pinocchio Story") wallow in excess to the point of embarassment. Still, I like the album, and I'll throw my hat into the "Paranoid"-is-the-best-song-on-the-album ring.

It definitely did go overboard with the fairy-tale aspect at the end, and I thought the film relied a little too heavily on 45-degree camera angles (a pet peeve of mine; puts in mind the old Batman TV show), but I liked it well enough.

That's what I meant. Though, honestly, I was surprised they continued that storyline at all. I was thinking they'd just pretend the last episode of the previous season didn't happen. I would like to see them do a several-episode arc, which they could've done with Murray and the band separated. There might be one in store, who knows. I'd just rather it not be another season of episodes where a girl threatens to break up the band.
