I read "Dream Brother", a double biography of Jeff Buckley and his semi-famous father Tim Buckley. The Tim Buckley stuff was sort of interesting, but most people (even in the 60's and 70's) never heard of him as a musical artist. I wonder if this book has any better biographical info about Jeff than "Dream Brother"? Think the "Wished For Song..." book is written by Jeff Buckley's mom, my friend Amazon.com recommended it to me.

As long as the crook or killer doesn't cut my cable line I can now call 911 on my Voip phone from Broadvoice. If I was a crook or killer, first thing I would cut was the phone line, cable, then electricity. I still have my cell phone, crook or killer would have to take it away from me to prevent dialing 911.

"C-Span "Book TV" Airs The Case for Impeachment

Dear Center for Constitutional Rights Supporter,

We would like to alert you to a provocative and timely discussion covering Impeachment this weekend on CSpan's Book TV.

This Saturday, C-Span will premiere an exciting 75-minute program featuring the Center for Constitutional Rights' Deputy Legal Director Barbara Olshansky and journalist Dave Lindorff discussing their book "The Case for Impeachment: The Legal Argument for Removing President George W. Bush from Office." The show was taped by C-Span at Robin's Books in Philadelphia in July. It will begin airing nationally on C-Span2's "Book TV" program this Saturday, August 26, at 11pm Eastern (8pm Pacific) and again on Sunday, August 27, at 8:15am Eastern (5:15am Pacific).

Meanwhile, if you want to check out an informative and intelligent (and civilized!) discussion about the Bush impeachment issue, it's going on all this week at Salon Table Talk. Anyone can follow the discussion, which features Lindorff and Olshansky, and others interested in the book and the issue. You have to contact Mary Beth, the host, about joining in, but anyone can read the entries. "Table Talk" will be featuring the impeachment issue all this week.

I'm a victim of my own cleverness. I lied about where I live to Directv, they think I live in the Seattle area. I got the service before local channels were available where I really live. Lazy ass me has yet to correct it now that local channels are available in my area. Fucking Arby's ads I see say they have a special for 5 regulars for 5 bucks, but the Arby's where I live don't have that special, they are pushing Bacon Beef and Cheddar things 2 for 3 bucks. Who knew things like that were regional?

Drove by a Tattoo shop today, they had a chick outside holding up a sign saying something like "20 Dollar Tats, Artist in Training". I know that wasn't the exact verbage, I got excited because I love a bargain and can't remember exactly what the sign said. My other tats cost at least 100 bucks each. I want to cover up one of my tats... Hmmm.

So fucking thrilled! A cd I never thought I'd get is on it's way. Albert Brooks comedy cd, not a common item. Oh, a new thing I found out about today regarding lala, you have to register the envelope now when you are sending a cd to another lala user. These new envelopes and postage are totally paid by lala regardless of the weight. This means the postage from the double cd plus artwork I just mailed out is gonna be paid by lala. I will no longer need to add postage to my lala mailers because I include artwork.

Clicked on a spam email from a cohort of these fuckers. Why did I click it? Xango, blech, arrgh, angry at myself. Jason Terry, fuck off, I don't want anything to do with your Xango products.

Seems that lala.com has changed the rules on me. When you request a cd you can now demand cover art or not. I was prevented from trading a cd because I don't have the cover art. Not that big of a deal for me, I'd rather have the music. Too bad, I really wanted to get rid of that Elton John cd. A real stinker, pu.

update: Did some research, cover art is a user setting, not a case by case thing. I think lala has modified their record keeping to keep track of what cd in your collection has cover art or doesn't. Since I've done most of my trading prior to the change, my data is incomplete regarding cover art.

This is so cool! Just added "If I Were A Carpenter" to my Lala want list today. Also decided to release one of the CD's on my requested list. Boom, as soon as I agreed to ship "Wild Planet", I got an email saying "If I Were A Carpenter" is coming my way. Where's my t-shirt Lala?

Update: Even more happy! Got my free t-shirt today, wee!

That's what I wondered when I found it in my mail today, turns out I marked it received before I actually got it. Electric Larryland by Butthole Surfers. Thanks to whoever who sent it anyway after I marked it received a couple of weeks ago.

I remember sending a PJ Harvey CD after I said I lost it, then found it soon after, don't think I got any credit for that.

Do pugs ever stop shedding? Sheesh, hair everywhere. Staying at my folks place for who knows how long and they've got a couple of pugs. I would think that in the cold weather they'd keep as much hair as possible. Maybe when it gets colder.

iPhone glass replacement kit showed up today. The glass in the kit was broken. Shoot.

Dummy at work told me that today. He voted, but didn't vote for president, just local elections. All because of the electoral college system we have, his lame state of Idaho only has 4. He claims that he hates the electoral college system and would rather that the popular vote would prevail. Hey dummy, you didn't vote for president, so yours didn't count period. Obama won the popular vote as well.

The movie still sucks, but it looks a lot better in Blu-Ray. I will say that you can sort of tell the bad guys from the good guys in the higher def version. Viewing the DVD version I couldn't really follow the action, or tell which robot was which. To be honest I was catching up on email and stuff during the heavy CGI scenes. Just wanted to see what's her name in a belly shirt and short skirt in high def.

I've seen that people take credit for my work. Not difficult work, took me 15 minutes or less to do it, squeezed it out before I left on Friday. Emailed the result of my work to the coworker that requested it. Subsequently read an email where that coworker claimed that they created it, they may have edited it, but don't take full credit. Just gives me more reason to hate on folk. This particular coworker couldn't have created it ever. Best to move on if able. Will be with some folk this weekend that might have some options.

It's obvious. Why even debate it? If you look at Kristen Wiig's nose in "Walk Hard" and how it looks on the most recent episodes of SNL, it's clear that she had a nose job. I personally think she looks better.

WTF does "opposed defending marriage" mean? Does that mean he or she thinks homos should be able to get married? Fucking christians need to learn that America isn't a theocracy yet. Are there any non-religious congresspersons or senators?

I just bought a new glass screen and tools to replace it off eBay. Shit is coming from Hong Kong. Why do they call it 2G? That 2G stuff confuses me. Anyway, even if it's the wrong size it was only around 14 bucks. Isn't the 3G iPhone the second generation? They claim it fits a 4 gig iPhone, so that would be a first generation iPhone.

A local company can replace the busted glass screen on my iPhone for "... $65 (parts), $10.88 Shipping, and $35 labor...", so hmm, math, let's see 110.88. Cheaper than sending it back to Apple. Too bad I don't have some other phone lying around I could put the sim card into during the repair time. They say 5-10 days turnaround. Would they need to have my iPhone the whole time? Need to find out what it would cost to get out of my ATT contract. Then go T-Mobile and G1, depending on what it costs to dump ATT. Although, I'm liking an App on the iPhone called GasHog that helps you track how many miles per gallon you get, and what the fuel costs per mile.

That G1 looks goofy, has no standard headphone jack, doesn't play video, not truly open thanks to T-Mobile, has a 2 year contract like ATT.

Fuck it, I'm stuck. Maybe I'll get the 3G iPhone instead and sell the busted one to help offset the cost. I'll have to make sure to take blurry pictures of it.

It was very easy to setup the first 3 times. Why 3 times? Well, I'm trying to use Boxee on it and that requires some work, not really, but I tried it over again when samba wasn't working. Still need some work to get samba shares to load. All the iTunes stuff works great, I can stream any media in my iTunes library fine, movies I've bought, podcasts, music I've bought. What I really want is samba shares to work. That will involve some ssh and ftp work. NitoTV may be the answer. Not a novice to ssh or ftp so I'm not scared about it, just too late in the day to tackle it tonight.

BTW: Never knew I could boot from a USB card reader.

BTW 2: The 2.2 Apple TV update included 1080p.
