Sickly Ickly
Well, friends, Opus isn't doing so well. I'm sick. Yesterday was the worst - laying in bed, with a headache too horrible to sleep, but also too horrible to open one's eyes and focus on, say, a book. No, instead, you have to just lie there and pretty much just think about how much it sucks that you're in pain.
Why not try some headache medicine, you ask? Well I did. And then the headache started growing ooky tenticles, which reached deep into my body and started throttling my tummy until I was forced to puke up my stomach contents. The best part was, while puking loudly, I heard my roommate rewind the movie he was watching because he missed hearing something. Sorry my incessant ralphing was too loud for you!
Today I'm slightly better. Thanks for asking. I'll try not to vomit into this web page.

Orangutan Boxing? That's just cruel and inhumane. At least give them knives and let them have a fighting chance....

Over the weekend I traded in a bunch of used CDs at Ameoba. It's amazing how much an iPod has changed my whole way of thinking about music. I used to think about the discs, or tapes, and with every album the image of that cover would be conjured along with the music. Now the CD gets used exactly once, to rip the tracks into mp3 format. After that it sits on my shelf. Often I'll never even crack the booklet.
I'm still stubbornly hanging on to most of my CDs for now, though. I tell myself there may be a hard drive crash or something, and I'll need the backups. I think it's just some small part of me that can't comprehend the idea of ownership without a physical representation of what it is I'm owning. I think I'd be just as happy with a small framed certificate that read "The Bearer of This Certificate Hearby Owns The Decemberists' 'Castaways and Cutouts'. Amen."
Some day I'll bring people up to look at my music, books, movies, and art - and just point to a hard drive whirring away. Ain't she a beaut?

People Acting Like Cars to try to get into our country. They're like human Transformers! Only the real Transformers didn't work sub-minimum-wage jobs with no benefits.

Two Thousand Baboon Noses Found in Amsterdam Airport Suitcase. Seriously, the Baboon Uncle that played "Got Yer Nose" 2,000 times really needs to be disciplined.

Jessica Lynch slams the Pentagon's "Lies" Funny how I had to read this on a British web site. You'd think our "liberal media" would jump all over this one.....

Who wants to marry Dennis Kucinich? The new game by the same people who brought you "Who the hell is Dennis Kucinich?"

The World's Oldest Woman Passed Away and is being buried next to her husband, even though she hated him. Perhaps she should have rethought using the phrase "over my dead body."

When hiking through a dark forest, what could be scarier, more spooky, more terrifying than
70 pairs of shoes filled with butter????
