So in the free paper today was the story about Van Morrison refusing to play at venues unless they ban alcohol sales.
Dispose he lives upto his infamous grumpiness.

Sad day in Celtic Music… The Brobdingnagian Bards go their own ways.
http://thebards.net/tales/2008/09/answering-questions-ive-seen.shtml
Andrew and Marc have decided to go their separate ways after 13 years of performing together…Damn I am going to miss the fun. (Glad I did go and see them this past May.)
No it is not a messy break up – No fights were involved. Just solo projects dragging them their separate ways…

So I installed the new “Genius” from the latest version of i-tunes. I clicked on JMDP and it suggested the following as complimentary songs
So What – Pink
Disturbia – Rihanna
Keeps Gettin’ Better – Christina Aguilera
Hot N Cold – Katy Perry
When I Grow Up – The Pussy Cat Dolls
There were more, but I only mentioned the top 5. I found it a very… interesting list of recommended songs to go with Deadpan. Of course, now it wants me to purchase those songs
September 18th, 2008 at 6:32 am
I’m getting pissed off with the iPhone. Not sure if it’s the 2.1 firmware update or iTunes 8, but the damn thing won’t follow an On the Go Playlist, it keeps acting like I’m hitting the shuffle button..grrrrr!
September 18th, 2008 at 6:37 am
Van, when I did my update, just a few days ago, it too messed up my touch. Quite often now, when it goes into sleep mode, if I have something playing, the podcast, or song, etc, will start repeating the spot where it was, sort of like an album skipping.
I’m not impressed either.

For the Bards fans, its typical Andrew to take the backburner in presence. Michelle (his new partner) is nice and a bit quiet. I travelled with her from Kansas to Houston a few years back and got to know her a bit. Although I’m sure she thought I was a bit strange :)
Marc has always been the hyper one and the one to take on a mouthload of projects more than he can get to at any one time.

Just saw this and felt the need to share.
If you’ll recall, Dick Cheney claimed that the office of the VP was NOT part of the Executive branch and therefore HE was not bound by any of the laws or rules that the President had to abide by.
He also claimed that the Vice President was not part of Congress so he didn’t have to answer to them either.
So a news organization has now put the question to both Biden and Palin – “Is the office of Vice President part of the Executive branch, Legislative branch or neither?”
Biden said it was obviously part of the Executive branch and unlike Cheney, the White House won’t have to hire an army of lawyers and constitutional scholars to skate around something that anyone with common sense has known for 200 years.
Palin’s answer to the same question … “No comment.”

*swoooooon*
Hugh sez: *swoooon2*
I got sad at the end of the Biff book cuz, Like i know this is going to sound silly.. but he made Jesus so likable. Like he was just this normal really sweet guy who has this whole weight on his shoulders and he was so tortured about it.. and you know what finally happened to him.. it made me sad. I liked Jesus.
Hugh sez: but you didnt like the Jesus in the bible?
well I read the bible in highschool, I was more interested in you in highschool than the bible
Hugh sez: you are a smart lady
:) but the bible was so dry.. and it felt like a schoolbook you know? It felt like it was more about everything else, not just the teachings of Jesus. But the Biff book.. made him seem more real, focused entirely on Jesus and made him really likable and sweet. It made me sad when it ended to know what that sweet sweet mans fate was more than the bible did. Teh bible just made me think more only about his death and how I should feel bad about it.. how he died for me and it was all just full of guilt. the bible made me just feel bad that I even existed.
Biff made me feel bad about Jesus the man.. Jesus as the boy growing up and all the normal things he thought that he couldnt experience cuz the angels told him he couldnt. He was just this normal adolescent kid. I cried for him
Hugh sez: all those wasted years of religion class in highschool when if they just made you read Lamb you would of been such a good little catholic girl
do you really think I could of been a good catholic girl?
Hugh sez: LOL. No comment. I thought you were a wonderful catholic girl personally.
I bet you did
September 20th, 2008 at 12:11 am
sorry about that Jesus tangent I just went on
Hugh sez: say 5 Hail Marys and you will be forgiven
thank you father

gotta agree with ASH about the readability of the Bible … at least for a kid. More deep thoughts on that later.

TSH: Yeah, Lamb is an awesome book. It’s sacrilegious and respectful at the same time. It’s definitely one of my favorite Moore books. If you liked that, you should read “The Stupidest Angel”.
September 20th, 2008 at 7:36 am

How crap is my razor? Let me count the nicks….
September 20th, 2008 at 10:41 am
That would have gotten my vote, Vanamonde. Meaning Jar City, not the crap razor.
It felt good in my cockles to read a brand new play-by-play.
I hope the weekend is good to you all. Stupid best-laid-plans. . . .
September 20th, 2008 at 10:51 am
Trying to get caught up on two weeks worth of laundry….yea?
September 20th, 2008 at 11:02 am
*pop* just popping in.
Re – best laid plans. Sing it brother. Sing it!
Re – “Lamb”. I am quite intrigued. I’m going to look for it.
I really liked the film that I think was called “The Last Temptation of Christ”. The one with William Deffo (sp?)
I loved the whole concept of, what if Christ had said, “Mmmmm, maybe not so much with me getting killed. Latta Bros”. I like that sort of alternate timeline treatment with any historical event/person type thing.
Ok … back to doing the dumb things I gotta do … Touch the puppet head.
September 20th, 2008 at 1:10 pm
Well Jar City was good, just don’t expect any suspense about the killer. Biggest yuk moment though was not the murdered people but the scene where the lead detective eats a sheep’s head. Not quite up there with that scene where a live squid is eaten (somebody posted a link a while back) but close.
September 20th, 2008 at 1:20 pm
You can put the first in the don’ttellyourmatesyoudomartialarts category.
As I entered the cinema I sat in front of three woman. Before I realised I may have been blocking their view, they moved further down the row they were sitting on. There was some whispering and then one piped up “I’m only a yellow belt don’t expect me to defend you”. Whether their attention was on me or somebody else in the cinema I cannot say.
September 20th, 2008 at 1:33 pm

September 20th, 2008 at 1:45 pm
Good story, Van!
September 20th, 2008 at 3:37 pm
Van – Perhaps it was due to your attending the cinema in your full Ninja outfit. That’s gotten you in trouble before.
September 20th, 2008 at 4:13 pm
catching up
j0e.. I would love to hear your comments on the bible.
I have no problem with the book, I just think after reading Lamb that maybe someone needs to update the bible to be hipper to “the kids”. I think the bible does read like a textbook and maybe thats because from the moment I first started actually reading it, it WAS my textbook for religion class. I never saw it as anything but another stupid book I had to read for class the next day. I hope that doesn’t offend anyone, I dont mean it as an insult. It wasnt that I thought the bible was a bad book or I was putting it down, or thought less of it, but it was literally a textbook to me.
Later in college I took a ‘bible as fiction’ class which I thought was terribly interesting and did make me appreciate it just a little bit more, but yet again it was my textbook and not a holy book.
Maybe when teaching the bible to kids in highschool, they should just make a textbook about it, maybe that would help.
I was a typical teenager. I was rebeling. I hated all my classes but art. I just wanted to make out with my boyfriend all day and listen to punk music and get high. Science, english, religion, math, spanish, history.. all of them were treated with the same complete disinterest by me. The only things I ever read were the literature books we had to read. I devoured those. I was even in a great books reading group grade 6-12. If they gave me Lamb to read I would of loved religion class. Reading the bible was like reading chapter 7 in the AMerican History book.. I dunno.. maybe it was cuz my parents were not religious I never saw it as more than just another class I had to take and hate. They sent me to catholic school cuz they thought I was trouble, they didnt actually think getting a catholic education was important. All education was important to them (well not for a girl) So again to me religion class was just another class and the bible readings we had to do were just more homework that I didnt want to do.
September 20th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
Jack- the fact that we warmed your cockles makes me sooo happy :) *swoon*
ditto- cool! We will look for that. We have a book backlog right now.. so I gotta read a few borrowed books and shit before getting more Moores books
EesBee- I want to go get remarried now so Hugh and I can be parry A and party B
I hope everyone is well in deadpan land. We’ve got dinner with Hugh’s boss and his wife tonight.
We might be by later again to play by play some more- we’ll see
l8r
September 20th, 2008 at 4:23 pm
Oh and back to Jesus for a sec.. I remember going to see Last Temptation of Christ. The whole family went. I did kind of liek that alternate view on events type stuff… you know that whole history is written by the victors, or as feminists like to say its all HIStory and all that.
It doesn’t mean 1 is right or wrong, just makes it interesting to get another point of view, another possibility
Like this book I have to read called Devils Apocrypha which is the events as told from the devils point of view where the devil is actually the good guy. That God and the angels need the belief in them to sustain them, so they found earth and created christianity to sustain them and are sucking life from earth and the devil is the guy who rebelled against that and thought what the other angels was doing was bad.. so its kinda like the devil saying the story was told wrong to make him look bad and he is telling his side now.. I like that sorta thing.. again not saying that this book is right, its just really interesting to read about
ok.. gotta go find my husband now and leave for dinner :)
buh-bye

September 20th, 2008 at 10:51 pm
Hugh sez:
Bull market is a random market movemnet causing an investor to mistake himself for a financial genius
Bear market is a 6-18 month period when the kids get no allowance, the wife gets no jewelery and the husband gets no sex
Momentum investing- the art of buying high and seling low
Vlaue investing- the art of buying low and selling lower
P/E ratio- the ratio of investors wetting their pants as the market keeps crashing

September 22nd, 2008 at 7:14 am
I knew of RRO but only as a source for punchlines not the actual rules themselves
(ei … in a meeting where things have broken down into chaos I might be heard asking ” could someone get Roberts on the phone” or when the family is wondering if we can go ahead and start Thanksgiving dinner even though Uncle Albert still hasn’t arrived, I might be overheard saying “perhaps we should consult Roberts Rules of order”. I guess I’m pretty much a smart ass.)

Ah, I see “Engines of our Ingenuity” has won a convert. I just heard the Robert’s Rules episode this morning. Always something interesting on that one.
I actually own a copy of Robert’s Rules, but haven’t had to make much use of it.

“He is the king of all the land
In the Kingdom of the sands
Of a time tomorrow.
He rules the sandworms and the Fremen
In a land amongst the stars
Of an age tomorrow.
He is destined to be a King
He rules over everything
On the land called planet Dune.
Bodywater is your life
And without it you would die
On the desert the planet Dune.
Without a stillsuit you would fry
On the sands so hot and dry
In a world called Arrakis.
It is a land that’s rich in spice
The sandriders and the “mice”
That they call the “Muad’Dib”.
He is the Kwizatz Haderach.
He is born of Caladan
And will take the Gom Jabbar.
He has the power to foresee
Or to look into the past
He is the ruler of the stars
The time will come for him
to lay claim his crown,
And then the foe yes
they’ll be cut down,
You’ll see he’ll be the
best that there’s been,
Messiah supreme
true leader of men,
And when the time
for judgement’s at hand
Don’t fret he’s strong
and he’ll make a stand,
Against evil and fire
That spreads through the land,
He has the power
to make it all end.”

In an age of much decent but identity-less music I guess one saving grace is the new Metallica at least sounds like themselves. They built that category so it’s ok for them to represent there. Napster is a non-issue(and almost non-entity) now, but it earned them place on the worst Net joke list of our century.

We’re also going over the list of artists and dealers who have and have not paid and handed in their paperwork.
As for baking – it’s a friends birthday this weekend so I will be baking a Lemon Cheese Coconut Cake :)

Cool, marlo. I applaud eclectic, unapologetic musical tastes. I figured the Clay Aiken reference was a knock at the headlines.
I’ve actually never heard one note of his music.

Jack: He`s an amazing vocalist, but he doesn`t tend to pick the best song selection for his own material. It`s often empty lyrically, which is pointless. He totally kills at power ballads though. Bridge Over Troubled Waters being an oft-cited example of a transcendent cover.
As for his personal life, I think it`s our own damn business what ports we have and who we share them with, so I supported his former stance that it didn`t matter. I find it offensive than anyone thinks they have the right to ask, let alone judge. But if he`s happier and less stressed if people know, good for him.

So tried switching on Genius in iTunes. For the few albums I have ripped from CD, it had no suggestions for a playlist.
I didn’t think the albums were THAT obscure.

marlo: Thanks for saying what you did, and sorry if my joke offended. I do have a slightly different opinion than you on the closet and celebrities, but very much respect yours.
September 24th, 2008 at 1:51 pm
Thanks for the info ditto. I’ve managed to take out everyone who was attacking me at the door. Perhaps there are others scattered around the perimeter. So what kind of rounds would you recommend? Hammerheads, radioactive, chemical etc.?

Rhettro: If the choices be death or Nebraska. Put me in that Death Magnetic box please…

Mark, if it’s good enough for Gretchen, it should be good enough for you. :)

So, who thinks the Republicans might try to call a state of emergency on the economy and suspend the elections?
That could cause some folks to try to protest, but then they could declare martial law… Someone told me they were building up military presence in major US metro areas?
September 24th, 2008 at 3:06 pm
Less doomly-and-gloomly…
We got us a division race, eh, Chicagoans?
September 24th, 2008 at 3:16 pm
I’ll take Creeping Death over Death Magnetic.
September 24th, 2008 at 3:31 pm
Hmm,seems lately Chinese White Death(powdered milk) doing ok-my bet is on the them.

Ok, I do admit the above was sweaty Kilroy 2.0 style conspiracy theory, but don’t we all have a little pudgy guy with glasses inside us?
September 24th, 2008 at 4:12 pm
Sadly for some of us, the pudgy guy with glasses has already escaped.
September 24th, 2008 at 4:12 pm
..and is on the outside.

Adam Curry on the latest No Agenda was predicting the current US administration canceling the elections this year.

And Van wins the “picking up the straight line” award…

Well, I’m glad Adam Curry has No Agenda.

Rhettro: There are 4 entrances to that room. You need to go to each door, get jumped by the commandos, and eliminate them. Try to stay out of view of the witch as well. Once you’ve eliminated all 4 groups, the rest is easy. I tended to use the DOT (damage over time) rounds, usually incendiary. Save a couple of different types of ammo, and switch when you find out what enemies you are dealing with (robots, creatures, people).

Wow, that was a truck fail. LOL
September 24th, 2008 at 6:01 pm
Okay that makes sense ditto. I will give it a whirl. :)
September 24th, 2008 at 6:09 pm
Ed: Yeah. What the hell was he thinking? And why wait so long before trying to cross?
September 24th, 2008 at 6:13 pm

That “Truck Fail” link caused my browser to fail.

RE: conspiracy theories.
I still have a copy of a news article from 2/21/2006 that included this little talked about tidbit.
“… , there was that curious development in January when the Army Corps of Engineers awarded Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg Brown & Root a $385 million contract to construct detention centers, (each capable of holding 5,000 people) somewhere in the United States, to support the rapid development of new programs.”
It was speculated that the “detention centers” could be used to detain American citizens if the Bush administration were to declare martial law.

Frankly, they found much more effective ways of controlling things.
Has everyone forgotten about the Diebold debacle?
If Obama doesn’t have a substantial lead (like more then 10%) going into election day, once again the RNC will get away with simply hacking the results in their favor.

No one will see this comment, but – it’s not a conspiracy if it’s done right before your eyes.
