orange u glad i didn't say bananar?

Ya, that's one hell of a line!

I want to see the Butterfly Effect! That's the movie that ripped off one of Jon's storys. DICKS!

So how is everyones jobs going? My work is pretty repetitive - still way better than the last job, but it ain't nothing to get excited about.

Reading: Quicksilver - Oh man, this is a tuff one. I'm about 80 pages into it and its PRETTY uneventfull. It puts me to sleep everynight. I hope it gets exciting soon. "Put down that beaker Sir Issac Newton!" Hmm.

I want to eventually get to the new Stephen King Gunslinger book, Wolves of Calla. Its probably pretty bad but I'm SURE easier to get through than Quicksilver.

I'm also reading "Guide to the new Music Industry: Handbook for Hell!" Yar! Gnarly x-treme title! Its actually a pretty good explanation of the music industry. Interesting read - I'd read some books like this in the past that were BAD and dated, but this one is pretty current and pretty well written - a lot of interviews. One interesting quote from some music industry guy was "We are as an industry trying to sell black and white televisions to an audience that wants color TV." What the guy means and what a lot of the book is about is how the music industry FUCKED UP and really really missed the boat with the internet, and mp3s, and this and that. It's really interesting because, no one has been able to figure out a new way of distributing music and making money at the same time. Comeon - Itunes is cool, but u can still basically get what u want from Kazaa and stuff like that. Also, I read somewhere else (or maybe someone was talking about it) but theres a lot of biz going to dvds over music cds, because people percieve better value in owning a movie with all the extras etc for the same price of a music cd. Whatever - its all fucked up and wierd. Interesting times, huh? Maybe u guys can brainstorm and figure out this puzzle. DO IT!

That Ben Stiller Show dvd has on the 1st episode that skit, the last stand of Yakoff SMirnoff - oh man, its fuckin funny. (Guy gets up and walks away in audience) "Oh, look! A Defector! Heh... Heh... :( "
