I been slacking

I feel guilty for not writing, even though no one reads. I've been so angry and disappointed lately that I've been self medicating into thoughtlessness every night, and I FEEL FINE DAMNIT!

Seriously, the cable news has gone back on the ol' missing white girl/celebrety news (does anyone really care?)gravy train. I guess having a couple square hundred miles of homes, businesses and natural areas wiped out by a hurricane, and a two wars (remember afghanistan? we've still got guys there too!) and every republican being charged with some criminal violation isn't news any more.

Random crapola -
CD's
Dimension Mix - a compilation of remixes and covers of Bruce Haak and Esther Nelson songs by some of todays best artists. Beck was hardly disappointing (thanks scientology for destroying the spokesman of MY generation! You rotten fucks), and the rest of the album is stellar!! Great music from Eels, Tipsy, Fantastic Plastic Machine...and Money Mark's contribution was just plain creepy. I will be featuring this on my radio show this week.

Fall - Heads Roll - A great new album by my favorite pronunciationalist, Mark E. Smith. Not as consistantly good as The Real New Fall EP, but there is lots of good stuff on here. While I generally only like fast songs, it's nice to hear them playing in a variety of tempos. Bonus! A cover of "I Can Hear The Grass Grow" Mark E. Smith. I love you.

Other good stuff:
Roller Derby - I gots me that ol' ache again, and it burns so good. Back to practice, back to knocking down girls on skates...back to getting my ass whupped by everyone else who is way more motivated to excersise than I will ever be. I should seriously do my sit and push-ups at home...but I hate 'em! Being a childfree adult, it's hard for me to do the things I hate. It's not like I need to be a good role model or anything.

Billy Nayer Show - I love the movie American Astronaut, and all their music. My boyfriend was lucky enough to go see them last night in Milwaukee, and brought back tons of BNS schwag and a caramel apple (not associated with BNS). He said it was a great show.

Now I'm outta steam, and feel I've fufilled my obligations to myself. I guess I'll go back to the salt mines now.
