hey Par.
i might not be on time to rock your party at the Publik as i am already commited to see "Little Conan O'Brien's" play. Here's a hilarious invitation- to which consider yourself all formally invited. (ANDY IF YOU WANNA SEE IT GIMME A SHOUT)
Dear [You],
How's it going? Yes, it has been a while, hasn't it? We should probably meet up and do something! But what? Oh, I know! We could go see a movie! Oh, you've already seen "Hitch"? Hmm. We could see a play! Hold on...let me just check the listings...
Here's one: "West Side Story". No, you're right - the Citadel is too pricey...hmm...I guess if you really wanted to see something we could go to one of those one-act plays that the University's putting on next week. Here's one! It's called "Bad Timing". Word on the street is that it's long and clumsily written - there's a winning combination, no? It also says here that it's written by a guy named Leif Oleson-Cormack! He's got the exact same name as me - that's a pretty good sign! Oh, you're not sure which showing you'll be able to go to? That's okay - i'll go to every single performance and wait for you to show up. Here's the info:
BAD TIMING
PLAYING AT THE TIMMS CENTRE - 2ND PLAYING SPACE
TUESDAY, FEB 15 10 PM
THURSDAY, FEB 17 8 PM
FRIDAY, FEB 18 9 PM
SATURDAY, FEB 19 10 PM
Admission price is 5$ for the entire festival - which means if you want, you can see all the plays (many of which are quite good) as many times as you want. Tickets can be bought at the door or in advance at the HUB info desk. Friday and Saturday shows tend to fill up fast so getting there early helps.

Hey, in addition to it being Lithuania's Day of Independence, it is also the day that the Kyoto Protocol finally comes into effect. Hooray! So... how's about we celebrate by not driving our cars individually, and perhaps turning the heat down? ;) ha ha! yay anyway!
And... Albert, it's actually quite entertaining to read your gripes about bureaucracies when you're not actually in one... Bureaucracies are fun! And I'm not just saying that because I am a bureaucrat... honest! Besides, you can't slam them all. Some bureaucracies actually work, even if there is a ton of red tape. The problem is that politics get brought into the chain of command... with that, everything goes to shit. but whatever, I'm not here to slam or exault bureaucratic workings, I just thought it was funny, coming from an "insider's" point of view.
and... it's "breathe" "breath" is the stuff that comes in and out of ones' lungs, when you're not calling it air or something of that ilk. when you need a verb, it's "breathe"... with an e That's one of those commonly misspelled words that really pisses me off, so i thought i'd finally say something about it.

Thanks everyone. Lithuania's Day of Statehood has never been so special *sniff*.
To the Thinkgeekers, the package came yesterday. I can bring it to Chili's, along with your tabs.
Robin Williams on the Disney/Pixar split.
Fark gets to name the Fleet Center for a day. Winning name here (I wonder if they'll allow that.)

Isn't that the way bureacracies work? The higher ups have all the control what they wish to do with the information presented to them is within their power. The United States is well known for a overbloated bureacracy which gets nothing done. Project approval years, project completion decades. With this type of enviroment burecrats play machevalian games in the back to get what they want. Main reason for the 9/11 conspiracy. It isn't Bush who is doing it but the military-industrial complex which wants more money for defense spending. Create a phony war, get the paranoia and approval you need to get a new bloated budget for military spending. If you want to kill the enemy you have to cut off the head. If you go high up enough the chain of command always ends up being one person. Find this "ivory tower" general and apprehend with extreme prejedice... It's the only way to get anything done...
