Kudos and props to the Schneiders on a successful shakedown. :-)

'morning, cracker chiddrens.

Was awoken by a hawt damsel in distress, computer issues. Normally I wake up to a hawt damsel in a dress, with computer issues I can't even fathom solving. Either way, it's a pretty charmed life.

Persistant virus / virii. Not even sure how bad. I tried everything I could think of, and I'm now pretty seriously molesting a harddrive with Ultimate Boot Disc tools. Worst case scenario, the drive gets whiped, but I'm trying to avoid that.

I'm multitasking between computer scanning, checking the interwebs, making / eating breakfast, and assembling yet another box for ripping discs. Busy busy. At least I have good coffee, and French Vanilla creamer courtesy of Damsel #2, who's technically really Damsel #1 in my book.

I'm having an odd burst of euphoria, probably brought on by last night's melatonin dose. I usually wake up pretty chipper from that. Only problem is, I can't remember if my Wellbutrin made it into my fistful of morning pills. We shall see.

TONIGHT. You, come out to GC tonight. Please. Help the children!

Tonight (7/14/08), join us as we raise money for
"The Children Of Chiapas Foundation",
a non-profit group dedicated to providing the children of the United States
and Latinoamericas with basic human needs like food, shelter, clothing
and education. All proceeds from the door will be donated to the Foundation,
to help send their delegation to Marquez de Comillas Chiapas. You can read
about the trip in their MySpace blog.

All you have to do to help out is show up. Quite literally EVERY CENT helps,
so your $4 admission will go a very long way towards salvaging
a generation of neglected children.

We hope to see you this Monday!

O Superman. O judge. O Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad.
O Superman. O judge. O Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad.

Hi. I'm not home right now. But if you want to leave a
message, just start talking at the sound of the tone.
Hello? This is your Mother. Are you there? Are you
coming home?
Hello? Is anybody home?

Well, you don't know me,
but I know you.
And I've got a message to give to you.
Here come the planes.
So you better get ready. Ready to go.
You can come
as you are, but pay as you go.
Pay as you go.

And I said: OK. Who is this really? And the voice said:
This is the hand
the hand that takes.

This is the hand,
the hand that takes.

This is the hand,
the hand that takes.

Here come the planes.

They're American planes. Made in America.
Smoking or non-smoking?

And the voice said: Neither snow nor rain nor gloom
of night shall stay these couriers from the swift
completion of their appointed rounds.

'Cause when love is gone, there's always justice.
And when justive is gone, there's always force.
And when force is gone, there's always Mom.
Hi Mom!

So hold me, Mom, in your long arms.
So hold me, Mom, in your long arms.
In your automatic arms.
Your electronic arms.
In your arms.
So hold me, Mom, in your long arms.
Your petrochemical arms.
Your military arms.
In your electronic arms.

 - Laurie Anderson, "O Superman"

Perfect timing. Just when things get a little annoying, someone's there to lighten things up.



Thanx, Alex.
