Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. When you two mention early bird-ness ... it sounds like she was up at 5am in the morning.

Nevermind. I'm retarded. Time difference. DUH!

Any particular reason?

I hope so .... but I get the feeling that, after Travis, the other shows will be relative letdowns.

Stupid school.

Kings of Leon are cool!!! I'm listening to Jason Marz ... "You and I Both" ... a TOE-TAL guilty pleasure.

So I take it you didn't make it out to the matches today?

But here's the question: I think Bush is bad. You think Bush is bad. What are we willing to do to try and convince people? Me? I HATE the thought of American soldiers, most younger than me, spending the last moments of their lives on the streets of Iraq. I HATE the idea of a telegram going to the door of that soliders mother explaining that her child was killed and the person responsible is perpetrating lies. The hardest part: I don't think Bush is a bad guy. I just think he's misguided, and that's not high on the top of my "what would I want in a President" list. When the Democrats name a candidate, I'm going to try and volunteer on some level with that campaign. If they nominate somebody I just can't agree with, I'll go to the Green party and try to help. Things need to change. The more I talk about it, the more I develop these deep beliefs about the crimes perpetrated on us by this administration.

That's cool. I've probably seen them that many times too. I first tried to watch them when I was young, but only in the last ten years have I cultivated a real appreciation of them. James Caan is so cool in G1!

Ow! * Richard rubs his head * * Richard holds back tears * You know, you're stronger than you think you are!

Well, given the choice between Bush and the prominent Democratic candidates, I would encourage you to at least consider the democrat given some of the decisions Bush has made over the last four years. I'm not happy with any of the Democratic candidates. I would much rather see John McCain or Colin Powell or Condeleza Rice as President, but it seems to me that a lot more Americans would be alive today if any of the Democrats were in office. I guess that makes me pro-life.

To your points, Tom: 1) Good Charlotte is the stupidest idea ever, followed closely by Dashboard and Matchbox :) 2) I disagree a little. I think the underlying point is right: Americans are probably the best educated to make such a decision. However, consider this: The United States's stature in the world is such the foreign policy has surpassed the economy as the most important issue (this is my opinion, but let's just accept it as a premise and move on). Given that much of the electorate of this country is focused single-mindedly on their selfish interested, forsaken international needs that are important in foreign policy, the bias of the American public in choosing a President could make them less qualified, them a global perspective, than the average Briton or Dane. 3. I concur.

OMG! I can't believe I'm gonna see Travis on Friday. I'm gonna see ... Ted Leo and the Pharmacists on Thursday Travis on Friday The Shins on the 8th The Roots on the 12th Erykah Badu on the 13th It's gonna be a good 3 weeks, though I'm gonna be pi-zoor at the end of it.

You do that. Once you've got the basics down, strap on your Adidas and get a board, go out on Michigan and see how they like it. Put a hat out and tell me how much you get. Once you get over $10, you're in. Oh, don't forget your box, but don't play Clocks. You can only do that once you're in. Aw, fuck it Gaby. You're in. Just don't tell your sister. I'm gonna make her do it :)

they do rent snowboards. come to cali and ski.

If you don't like fantasy, you don't like fantasy. End of story.

sure. :D I'm gunna need to see you spin first. That's the entrance exam.

hija ... ugh

I can't believe this has turning into a Keanu Reeves thread. :)

It's good to see Lost In Translation get some recognition. It seems like Coppola has the screenplay Oscar sewn up, though I think the voters should consider Denys Arcand's script for The Barbarian Invasions. I'm happy to see Sean Penn get his recognition.

I have to say that I was rather impressed with the foreign press. That's such a self-serving statement: I'm only saying that because they agree with my on a lot of their movie picks. I agreed with them on movie, lead actor, supporting actor, and director ... not bad. I probably wouldn't have bet like that, though, so it really didn't do me much good.
