Re: The Politics of Politics: The Ride of a Lifetime
And what is wrong with Jocelyn Elders, anyway? I just looked her up on Wikipedia and she seems pretty unobjectionable. I mean, I can see why she got politically crucified, I just don't think she was wrong.

Re: Random Thoughts
If I were to invent a hangover cure, it would be a warm broth that you drink out of a bowl, and you can feel it going through your whole body, and as it passes through you, the hangover is replaced by a soft glow of well-being. Can someone get on inventing a hangover cure, please? Like, within the n...

Re: iPod nation
There are probably better places on the Internet to post this cry for help, but: my iPod is refusing to sync up! It is driving me crazy because it claims to be syncing, and then I unhook it and try to find the last few albums I loaded onto my computer (yes, including Momofuku ), and it's just got th...
Re: Anemia
I can't help you with that, Mr. A, but I do have borderline anemia! Sometimes they won't let me give blood, and my boss is always telling me I look too pale, but I think that's just because I wear SPF on my face every day. I'm sure this little tidbit will be fascinating to your audience...

This constant push and pull between personal ambition and loyalty to one's own blood. Weren't you paying attention? He was a bastard in a basket! A BASTARD in a BASKET!

Re: Recently viewed films
Has anyone seen Persepolis? Really want to see that...great book, and it looks like a great animation. It's fabulous. Should have been nominated for Best Picture--way more innovative and touching than anything that was nominated. (I still haven't seen Juno , but I think this is a pretty safe bet.)

Re: Recently viewed films
I also saw Iron Man--it was enjoyable. My main quibble is that all the CGI in movies these days sucks the drama out of the fight scenes for me. It's like, "Look, the big toy is beating up the little toy!"

Re: iPod nation
Otis--if you have a bootleg recording, try adding track numbers in the information section. Alphabetical, I think, is the default when there are no track numbers.

Re: Cait O'Riordan
What a depressing article from the Independent; the writer seemed like kind of an asshole, prodding her to talk about a lot of things that were clearly extremely painful.

Re: Recent CD Purchases
Check and check. Pop songs should have depressing lyrics and music compelling enough that you have no idea what you're singing along to!
