Strange Days "cars on the freeway are moving like slugs" Rainy and dreery out, traffic was nuts ths morning going to work. It's 12:30 and I'm not even fully awake.

Yeah, the US electoral system is just fucked. It honestly baffles me. Edit: I do like how elections are held on regular time intervals; rather than being able to call an election whenever you're extremely popular or during budget season though. I was listening to the radio the other day and they had people calling in and voicing their opinions about Harper wanting to incorporate that into our electoral system. This one bitch called in and had this really annoying voice; she was all like, "Yeah, we can do it on the second Tuesday of November every 4 years. OH WAIT, that's when AMERICA has THEIR election!" I hate when people jump to conclusions about shit or even react negatively without even thinking or contributing any constructive insight to the situation. She could have mentioned why she thought it was a bad idea and then talked about how he wants Canada to be the 51st state which well, I wouldn't exactly argue too strongly.

They still had ink and paper. There's no way anyone can say that it made more sense to do it that way in the early days if the whole population still got a chance to vote in a federal election. The only way I can see that it comes remotely close to making sense is that citizens elect MP's to represent them in government (as opposed to directly electing the PM; but who they vote for effects who becomes the PM) and party members elect someone to represent them when it comes time to vote, so who party members vote for effects who becomes party leader. But that's waay too loose of a connection and it makes no sense why anyone would do that. That system is just... it gives me a headache thinking about it. Whatever.

That's an overly drawn out process if I ever heard one. Who's the fucking dolt that said, "Hey guys! I got an idea! Instead of everyone actually voting for the leader, we'll make everyone vote for who we think should vote for the leader, and then we'll sit back and hope that they represent the majority of the region."? Even if that's not exactly how it works it's still not as good as an actual election... Laaaaaame.

Saw it. Thought it was a complete waste of time and money. Thankfully not as bad as The Hills Have Eyes though.

Yeah, I agree there is a vision. The party is not in as bad of shape as some believe. But I still don't think they could gain any ground on the Tories. Even if they were ready to campaign and rightfully capable I don't think they would be able to alter public perception at this point in time.

Really? I just assumed that all party members were eligible to vote. That's kinda lame. Maybe I'll just email him and see if there's any I can help with his campaign. At the very least I'd contribute. Do all the parties work like that? I've never bothered to read into how parties choose their leaders.

There is no way the Liberals could win an election if Parliament falls in May. They're just not ready. I predict larger Tory gains if we were to have an elcection, as much as I hate the idea of it.

Yeah I like Brison quite a bit. I'm debating joining the party so that I can help support him. He's really an awesome MP for sure, I have a buddy in his riding. I think he has the qualities to be a wicked leader too, even though he is young.

Running For Home.

Neil Young kicks ass. Always has. Edit: I need to see Heart of Gold but it is not showing anywhere near me. I am heartbroken.

Don't Think Twice, It's All Right - Bob Dylan

I don't think they're still available there. But yeah, they were much less.

Midnight Run.

The Benchwarmers. Absolutely hilarious.

I was reading an article the other day about "Lit Idol" in England. Writers submit a 10,000 word essay outlining a plot for a book they're writing and include the first two chapters. The winner gets signed onto a mahor publishing company and some cash or something.

Probably Bright End of Nowhere.

Mainstream version is much better in my opinion. THere were some shots during the end of the video that I really liked when the band was rockin' out but it was still very bland. And Weapon was the first single/video released after the breakup of MGB and there was no new material or touring anything for 2 years. It only makes sense to focus a bit more on MG than normal, especially given the many ways that the song can be interpreted.

His sales actually seem pretty average to me. I would think that it would be fairly easy to sell out a gig for 500 people pretty quickly.

That's not Lo-Fi it's Loser Anthems...

How many new songs have been played on this tour?

You can email insomniacpress and tell them and they'll send you the booklet at no cost.

Blue LA is rarer than B-Sides.

Was really young and not really into a lot of music.. Heard Apparitions and thought it was a decent song. Then I heard Hello Time Bomb a few years later and I was really into music by this time and I thought it was pretty good. I downloaded that and Apparitions 'cause I liked it and then got BM. Listened to that and have been hooked from that point.

Damn.. For some reason I can't edit the post. That's horrible grammar I don't know what I was on.
