Lyrics to "The Gold in the Mountain of our Madness" by The Flaming Lips
(I can't find these online anywhere else, but wanted to post them here. So here goes!)
---

They started up the hill
with their young lives exploding still.
They loved to dream and run
they had the grass and the trees and the sun.

They dreamed of the gold they'd find
at the top of the ( Read more... )

So I made it to Oklahoma last weekend. It was nice. Saw some friends, had some good long conversations, drove around good old Norman and remembered why I'd left...as if I didn't know. It was good for me. Obligatory stream-of-conscious moments from the trip ( Read more... )

Yesterday I made bread for the first time in a long time. It was time to put the loaves in the oven so it was heated up to 500o (it starts really really hot).

This is my thing...if this were ANYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD, this story would be in the "oddly enough" news sections and people would forward this to each other going "Wow...check out how this guy died...that's insane." Throw in, say, a video camera ( Read more... )

Ok, by now everyone knows Steve Irwin is dead. Random thoughts from another random person...
I love that the thing is on tape. I know they were filming for a show, but still...Irwin's manager talking about the video: “It shows that Steve came over the top of the ray and the tail came up, and spiked him here (in the chest), and he pulled it out and ( Read more... )

Yesterday morning I didn't feel like eating my homemade granola, and nothing else sounded good. So I went to the little cafe downstairs at work and got a "naked breakfast burrito." The options on the board were "smothered" and "naked" so I assumed that the "naked" part just meant without chili. I don't know if I got it wrong or the obviously new ( Read more... )

The two beasts living in the apartment were introduced last night. We started slow...Sarah held Dante, I held Falkor. Falkor just stared for awhile, Dante just kinda didn't care. Of course he's been in a shelter around lots of other cats, so he wasn't phased too much at first. Once we put them on the floor and let them interact it got a little more ( Read more... )

First an interesting consideration in campaigning...DVR commercial-skipping technologies.

Now, the growing popularity of fast-forward, ad- ( Read more... )
