Um... I have no idea what you're talking about, face. And is an autoposy a tool to help photographers take grad photos?

Let's play "do you suppose", because I'm bored:

• Do you suppose that the ribbon (ie. yellow ribbon for US troops, red/white/blue ribbon for September 11th, etc.) fetish occurs because it resembles the Jesus fish?


• Do you suppose having a ribbon that says "pray for our troops" puts atheists in a "Are you still beating your wife?" kind of position? That is, if they don't "pray for our troops" they're being unpatriotic?


• Do you suppose people would get the point and/or be offended if I put a metal beta (β) on the back of my car?


• Do you suppose I could sell a lot of metal betas to people to put on the back of their cars?


• Do you suppose writing something on the internet is sufficient to prove you had an idea first?


• Do you suppose that Nancy Grace is the most irritating woman on television? (Sorry, all the news channels I get are Fox News and CNN Headline News. And there's only so much of Bill O'Reilly's bullshit you can take)

wtf Paras? I didn't request a new password? I'm confused.

sweeeeet find on those locust albums. Did you notice all the other stuff for download on there too? I got the 2 dillinger albums they were hosting plus I got the End's album (the old band that the crazy posessed guy from MARE used to play in). Don't botch the autopsy.

edit: Oh yeah, I also got the Daughters album which is pretty fuckin awesome...!

That sounds like a sweet job, Alison.

As for the GPS technology, having an in-bus display isn't that bad of an idea. In the winter when you take the bus home after dark it's sometimes impossible to tell where you are because you can't see anything but black out the windows. All the lights on inside the bus just reflect off the windows and there's nothing to be seen. I've experienced that tons of times where I have no clue where I am because I fell asleep and lost track of counting the turns that the bus is making. It's frustrating as hell. Sometimes that also happens in the winter when you're stuck standing in the aisle and the windows have fogged up. What are you supposed to do... be like "um, excuse me... could you wipe your window so I could look outside?" Fuck that. Get me GPS.

I don't really know the full story to either side of the argument, but from what I've heard, most of the people in the "scene" have come to the consensus that saving CBGBs isn't a big priority. Historical? Most definitely. Sells tons of T-Shirts and makes a killing? Yes. Good venue? Apparently not...

what? there was a chemical release from one of the plants, wasn't there? I am blissfully unaware of current events now that I'm out here and all... there's no time for newspapers or tv... so much is happening, and I have absolutely zero knowledge of it whatsoever.

I would like to say that I agree with you Jess, that GPS technology in busses is indeed excessive... because it really is. But it's not for the people already on the bus, it's for those people waiting for the bus... so that they can see how far away it is from their stop. So... for people like me who wait until the last minute to leave their houses before heading to the bus, we could check our computers and figure out exactly how much more dawdling time we have until we have to go chasing after the bus. It's a feature that they're hoping to include to major bus terminals (so that you can time connections better) and offer online. I'm not sure about the interior LCD screens telling people what exact street location they're at... ETS hasn't talked much about that, that I know of.

Anyway, I didn't expect to have two posts anywhere near eachother on here. Don't expect much more from me... silly three days of 'break' only and staff don't get the days off... I'm still loving it here. It's so beautiful, the students and staff we're working with are excellent - so positive, supportive and willing to work together - and the activities are just plain fun. Plus, I'm surrounded by wildlife and growing plants. What better experience can you have but to see a momma bear and cubs on a cutline (and survive), or ride in a helicopter? I love it out here!

new locust ep and a couple 7" and full lengths.

does punk give a shit?

Am I the only one who thinks GPS on a bus isn't really worth it? I mean, can't you just look out the window? And if you don't know what's going on can't you just ask the actual human being driving the bus?

And Alison - I think you need to get back to Edmonton. Apparently without you here they think they can burn off harzardous chemicals just east of the city. (kidding - it was an accident.)

Edmonton is getting into the gps technology... it's just a fair way's off. Like Tony said, first thing's first, let's get ourselves an LRT to Heritage, and then let's talk tracking our bus' every move. The other thing they're working on is bus rapid transit (like LRT only with busses, and using roads already (or soon to be) built. That should be phasing in on the west, north and east ends of town fairly soon too... those are the priorities - getting good service out to those who need it. Once that's done, they'll work on all the fancy bells and whistles.

damn... I saw bears a couple days ago... and today, I'm sick. this fucking sucks (actually yesterday was way worse - and it is just the sickness that fucking sucks, not this job, I'm loving the job). I hope you all are enjoying May thus far. happy Cinqo de Mayo! (sigh, it was cinqo de mayo earlier...) anyway, flying in helicopters tomorrow - woo hoo - have a great month, see you all some time in, um, June (?)
