Well, it’s Wednesday again. And Wednesday’s kinda suck. I’ve been finding it very difficult to concentrate on doing the things I’m supposed to be doing, and I can’t believe it’s almost December already. Where the hell has 2006 gone? You know, when you’re a kid, you always hear the old folks talk about how fast time seems to be going, and you think “yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever,” but then you wake up up one day and go “holy shit, now I know what they were talkin’ about!” I spend so much time trying to get shit over with, I’m starting to be afraid that I’ll look up one day, only to find that I’ve successfully managed to get my life over with. And on that happy note, have a good day.
First?
PJ-its been a quick year for me too….but it seems like its been forever since MS ended and all the things that have happened this year seem like a dream…like, if it was so quick how did all of that crap fit?
I just hope that we both get through the tiring and tedious stuff and get on to the fun stuff!…ha! Fun stuff?
Why is it that these days, sleeping late is fun for me?
Morning all.
Someone, I’ve forgotten who it was, did some experiments with time perception. Young and old were asked to estimate intervals of time and, yup, the older folks estimated that the interval was shorter than the younger folks thought.
Gotta go to work so I can make money and worry about estate and capital gains taxes. Oh, wait, that doesn’t apply.
Yeah, well, when you’re five, one year is 20% of your life (even more, really, since you probably aren’t aware of the first couple years). When you’re fifty, a year is only 2% of you life. It’s no wonder the time seems to fly by. Although, if you want to slow the perception of time, I highly recommend spending a summer in a dorm at Catholic University.
:neutral:or sit in a truck for three years if you want it to fly by!
Hey, time’s supossed to fly when your having fun isn’t it?? 🙄 Something’s wrong here. :tinfoil:
Maybe also we get sort of used to the things that are really exciting in the beginning…like christmas and then as a teen and young adult New Years…..so its all a letdown after we get the truth on Santa…..
I have a theory about time, and the difference between the clock and your own personal bubble of time. The clock really just measures the distance that the earth spins on its axis – 15 degrees in an hour. Something like a little over 1,000 miles, if you’re at the equator. So, really, a clock is just an odometer.
Now, when you’re having a good time, your personal time bubble slows “time” – as you perceive it – down for you. The earth keeps spinning at the same velocity though. So you become amazed that the earth turned 15 degrees in what you perceive to almost no time at all, because, for you, time was at a standstill. It would be as if you were driving, and went almost instantaneously from NY to LA.
Conversely, when you’re in a miserable situation, your sense of personal time speeds up in a effort to get it over with. Unfortunately, the odometer barely moves, so, in your trip to LA, it seems as if you’re stuck in a traffic jam.
Rather than time flying when you’re having fun, time actually slows down. We just need to quit paying attention to that goddamn odometer.
:doh:now youre just making shit up!!!!!
:paranoid:dont ban me!
No to mention when holidays go from times when we get something for nothing, to times when we have to foot the bill.

So, Mom has to tell me about Joe Namath on Imus…2 people who Im not wild about, and Im busy this morning anyway and not feeling so great.
She just realized that the Sun is a neocon paper even though she has been reading it for a really long time…and she just heard abotu the Newt Gingrich speech (should that even get press? I mean, who is Newt but a window into the soul of the Neo movement,) …but apparently it has the best arts section in the city…and she wont look online because she likes to cut things out for her friend in palm springs who is an ex NYC ballet dancer….OK….

Damn, I forgot to record Boston Legal last night. I know, I’m supposed to be boycotting ABC, but since the automatic commercial advance works perfectly on that show, I feel I’m doing even better than boycotting it, by effortlessly ignoring their advertisers. Besides, how can I not watch a show with lines like “that explains why I dreamed I was kissing Abraham Lincoln.”
Im so sick of Boston Legal….
Dru, you can send it to me at doubter at optonline dot net…

I think that animals rate in there with kids…not that most kids I know deserve all that much….we’re having a rather smaller christmas this year.

Anyway, I will tell him.

Ive managed to blog while driving because I can type with one hand on the Q…bad news….
hey anybody got a link to the pic of britney spears and paris hilton apparently its :hot: but i cant find it from google!
I watch Boston Legal although I am not as into it as Mystery or SciFi/Fan — THAT WAS THE QUESTION — MELINA Didn’t you say you at times played “Chaotic Good”. That’s what I always played! I even have my super special ” female character. My last character was a Warrior/Magic User … super cool 😎 and powerful. But then we all dispersed. It was many’s last year (mine too).
Now it is about keeping the fire fired, eck which tells me to “stoke” and get more tea :joe::dancers:

:doh:NEW RULE: websites are not allowed to talk about britney spears going commando(uncensored pictures at link click at your own risk) without at the very least censored pictures that prove it……
britney spears and paris hilton???? Seanie…please!
Brittny might actually lose her kids over this because she is off partying and the guy is asking for them and laying…um…lower than her….
google Trash and you should find alot of pics of paris and brit’s boobs…though I dont think that paris has much of anything…
:doh:see what happens i get sirius and spend 15 minutes listening to howard stern and now this……
Sean, I thought I could help you from a music biz I haunt but, alas, the whole thread disappeared after it descended into extremely poor taste. That site is ruled with an iron fist. Thankfully as I was about to register under a new ID if I had found it. The censored photos were on perezhilton.com yesterday. I am sure they will be widely available soon enough. You did not really miss much.

Toward the end of the Seder show this morning, Sam announced that Marc will be doing the entire 3 hours on Friday and then he made some quip about doubting whether Marc had enough material to fill three hours.
Have there been rumors about who will replace Franken? Has there been any movement on the Nova M front?

The Rutles were a parody of the Beatles as described below. The TV ‘documentary’ was done by Lorne Michaels and if you know a bit about the Beatles or just like good SNL/Monty Python style comedy, you really should check it out. It was an interesting collaboration between these two comic institutions from opposite sides of the Pond during their heyday. I believe it was the lowest rated show the week it aired.
http://www.rutles.org/
http://www.rutlemania.org/
All You Need Is Cash
On a tiny budget, but with a hilariously clever and knowing script, Eric Idle and Neil Innes labored to create the story of The Rutles in a movie for NBC Television called All You Need Is Cash. The TV film was originally intended as a late-night special, perhaps to fill in for NBC’s Saturday Night on one of its weeks off. NBC was so taken with the project, though, that they moved it to prime-time.
The Franken thing is still not confirmed. I think if AAR survives this week and finds a buyer, he will probably come back for a while after the USO trip. He still insists that he has not yet quit. I guess there is always the possibility that the new buyers might not want Al but they would probably have to eat his contract unless it somehow got voided by the bankruptcy filing. I doubt that someone would want to pay out that much dough for someone to sit on the sidelines.
I would bet that Marc is being very careful about getting into anything right now if he can afford the time. He has been burned twice pretty badly. I would imagine that he has a bit more clout at this point after he recent runs at AAR and their may be more options for him now as a ‘seasoned’ radio guy.
wvmc3d Ohhhhhh Yea :rofl2: I remember them but I was “doing” much at that time. I did not focus on Name. :doh: my bad, but I was alone and exhausted :omg:
But during early ’80s I was Asteroid Champ in CA — EVEN IN SF …arcade at Cliff isn’t that worth something : – ) Lead Balloon humour (it’s my attempt at humour) = LBH = It just doesn’t fly. — THEN (not now) but it “reminds” me of “playing” (another word for Work of Life).

Druid,
Cliff as in the home of Laughing Sal and Musee Mecanique and seals?
Oops, looks like you have gone away.
Has Franken mentioned who, if anyone, will be filling in for him during the USO tour? If it’s going to be all best-ofs, I’d better start loading up on CDs at work.
The Tom Oliphant/Christy Harvey pairing had a lot of chemistry first time out, so they get my vote. Marc would be ideal, but I’m not exactly holding my breath.
Time to go home and celebrate, because the doctor is OUT!

I have not heard him say anything but the whole bankruptcy thing is supposed to turn this week so I imagine they have contingencies. I am thinking it will be “best of”s since they would be hard pressed to commit to anyone and anything at the moment.

Colin POwell trying in vain to burnish his legacy here
This guy is such a Tom.
Al Gore interview in GQ. Very much worth the read. A couple of highlights:
Do you feel that we would be safer today if you had been president on that day?
Well, no one can say that the 9-11 attack wouldn’t have occurred whoever was president.
Really? How about all the warnings?
That’s a separate question. And it’s almost too easy to say, “I would have heeded the warnings.” In fact, I think I would have, I know I would have. We had several instances when the CIA’s alarm bells went off, and what we did when that happened was, we had emergency meetings and called everybody together and made sure that all systems were go and every agency was hitting on all cylinders, and we made them bring more information, and go into the second and third and fourth level of detail. And made suggestions on how we could respond in a more coordinated, more effective way. It is inconceivable to me that Bush would read a warning as stark and as clear [voice angry now] as the one he received on August 6th of 2001, and, according to some of the new histories, he turned to the briefer and said, “Well, you’ve covered your ass.” And never called a follow up meeting. Never made an inquiry. Never asked a single question. To this day, I don’t understand it. And, I think it’s fair to say that he personally does in fact bear a measure of blame for not doing his job at a time when we really needed him to do his job. And now the Woodward book has this episode that has been confirmed by the record that George Tenet, who was much abused by this administration, went over to the White House for the purpose of calling an emergency meeting and warning as clearly as possible about the extremely dangerous situation with Osama bin Laden, and was brushed off! And I don’t know why—honestly—I mean, I understand how horrible this Congressman Foley situation with the instant messaging is, okay? I understand that. But, why didn’t these kinds of things produce a similar outrage? And you know, I’m even reluctant to talk about it in these terms because it’s so easy for people to hear this or read this as sort of cheap political game-playing. I understand how it could sound that way. [Practically screaming now] But dammit, whatever happened to the concept of accountability for catastrophic failure? This administration has been by far the most incompetent, inept, and with more moral cowardice, and obsequiousness to their wealthy contributors, and obliviousness to the public interest of any administration in modern history, and probably in the entire history of the country!
Love it that Bush’s Presidency has eliminated so many potential Repubs from the scene. That a boy Bush!
Great article PJ. Thanks for that link. I’d like to see Gore run. And Hillary do what Fritz did yesterday.

One more Rutles tidbit I should have mentioned on the 5th anniversary of his passing, George Harrison had a cameo in the TV ‘documentary’ that was a parody of his former band.
There’s something in the way of not taking yourself too seriously.
Nick,
I have a couple of hundred Xmas CDs if you are looking for something. I don’t much care for the holiday but for some reason I gather the music, especially the novelties.
Cool Vernon. Melina has offered also. There may be a few novelty songs I might try to get from you. Let me give it some thought. Perhaps over the weekend I’ll come up with a few you might have to share. Thanks man.
Hi All. Heron I am glad too see you, I was thinking about you all as I was watching the Seahawks playing in the snow.
Cnick, I like the previews of upcoming podcasts and look foreward to them!
thanks mlm, now confess . . . you are Marc Maron aren’t you? Ha!

Oh, so you’re Randi Rhodes! Bounce em!
What part of the country are you located MLM?

You’re much to mysterious Moonlightman. That I think was part of the problem with NickiRose. He never really let anyone know him. What is the deal? I show all of my dirty laundry here. Not fair.

I don’t care what PJ says, I think he’s Maron.
okie . . . I’ll be back in a few. MLM you are always welcome no matter who you are! I think everyone here will agree with me and second that. N e way, I’ll be back in a few. The music plays on as Cnick walks down to retrieve the latest bill.

Andy, thank you for the offer of Christmas music. Let me see what I need and get back to you this weekend. I’m gonna put up a multicolored tree of lights on my balcony this weekend. That’ll prolly be it for holiday decorations unless my roommate decides to purchase a tree. But he’s not highly motivated about such things so I doubt there will be any sign of Christmas on the inside of the apartment ‘cept whatever Christmas cards we may receive in the mail. The company Christmas party is Dec 9th at the boss’s house. Whenever I go over there (to their fine home) I wonder where I went wrong that I could not have the finer things. I guess I’m destined to be poor all my life. It really isn’t such a bad thing. If I really want something bad enough I just go a little deeper in debt and giggle at the thought of one day leaving this earth with a mountain of noncollectable debt and useless things.
But Nick, it’s Sir Neville Mariner!
My balcony holiday lights have apparently aroused the spirit in some of my neighbors. I saw several apartments along the way that had lights on their balconies or in their apartments. Nice night, but a tad to warm for me. I so hope Birmingham has at least one good snow this winter. I’ve been told by the old timers that snow’s used to be more frequent and heavier here in Alabama. A sign of global warming? N e way, I guess I’m gonna withdraw from the blog a little early tonight. I’ve a few things that require my attention. Have fun ladies and gentlemen.
Neville! :santacool: Bye for now!

SBlueHeron was first to “voice” the Mystery which surrounded Moonlight Man = MM = Marc Maron. I debated with fun (really fun) SBlueHeron as to why and why not, but could see a possibility.
