(unrelated: Marc Jacobs Vans - that one shaggy dude rocks these mofos ... 300 smacks? you foreal? ispose)

hey hey everyone, anyone feel like going to see a movie or doing some other such indoor activity?

To really help you out the CD should be called "Plan B"

I believe in the "pretetious euro dance section" or since you are in europe right now the dance section, and more specifically if they have this section, the croatian section (The band comes from there).

Actually, the part of those listening stations that struck me as so useful was that they are on the racks, and you just need to do a bar code scan. It's pretty easy to sample a lot of music at once.

Al, what section of the music store would I find that ín? I have no idea.

Percy, I think you had better think that one through one more time.

Is a week ahead of time too early to buy food for Geekfest?

thanks for the advice pete. however, i decided that pizza was the way to go.

beck - they are nice cities, just don´t do laundry in hamburg. and as for the bed bugs, they only itch for about a week, so no worries, just a small problem in the grand scheme of things.

I've been listening to the hollywood ending trying to figure out what makes those drums sound so killer (besides the fact that he's undisputed as the best drummer in Edmonton)... it's the finesse of his double-bass drum triplets. Who the hell plays in triplets with double bass? No wonder it sounds so tight.

Next on my check-list? Double-bass-triplets.

That idea doesn't even have to have the biosphere dome, it'd be nice to have most of the places people tend to go often in one place. Superstore, Walmart, London Drugs, Toys 'R Us, Futureshop, Chapters, Canadian Tire, a Public Library, and maybe the YMCA, forced under a single roof. ERg.

aww... sorry for the delay: HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALL YOU BIRTHDAY WEEK PEOPLE.

Things are lovely here... lots of rain... and the bathroom lights are motion-sensor controlled, so guess who showered in the dark today!! Actually, I think I'm still enjoying it. There was some bitterness today, but it picked up as the day went on. It would just be nice if platitudes (like please and thank-you) were used more often.

And... I have an interesting story for y'all... with respect to the questionable future of the world and all, there's one wacky developer who's created his own 'solution' that perhaps isn't much of a solution at all... but we'll see. He is building a gigantic shopping mall, business and recreation complex all under a huge biosphere dome, and it will only use renewable energy and resources. Forgive me for putting a downer on the subject, but just wait until the first accidental gas leak. And damned if I'm going to go somewhere that they're going to track everyone's whereabouts for the sake of ADT and Homeland Security... But anyway, it's an interesting read.
