pg 218:
"In Belgium I remember we got a good-size crowd, because I suppose we started to get a bit of press by then," Jonny recalled. "While we were in Gent, Jason broke a string and didn't have a spare guitar. So everyone left the stage except me. I was mousing around the stage squeaking like a mouse. I suppose you had to be there...but it was hilarious! Then, later on, Jason broke another string and up came the shout, 'Bring back zee mouse!' A light interlude in the life of a seriously uptight drone band."

Daily Drink May Protect Brain in Old Age, Study Says
Booze = Good for Brain
OK, so the study was for "women age 70 and older"...but still, it goes one hope.
"Alcohol at modest levels does a lot of good things,'' said Francine Grodstein, associate professor at Brigham & Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School. ``There's been growing evidence that the same things that are good or bad for your heart are good or bad for your brain, and it's known that moderate alcohol consumption decreases cardiovascular disease.''

Even if I didn't already enjoy the drone, these are pretty cool. Sonic Boom should remix them.

What the president reads
CNN.com - What the president reads - Jan 10, 2005
Bush is more particular, and when he locks onto a book, he shows his trademark discipline, almost always reading it to the last page.

Vodka mythbusting
A Joshua Tree In Every Pot: Vodka mythbusting
I hope blogging someone else's blogged blog is not a blog foul. In any case, this seems a worthy experiment. I wonder if this'll make premium sake out of the cheap stuff?

Crispin Glover on Letterman
Video @ Contemporary Insanity
I had never actually seen this one. I'd heard tell of it. I even liked to quote it: ""I'm strong...I can kick!"
And the kind folks at contemporaryinsanity.org have been kind enough to post it.
Bless them.

Whipping new dads into shape
The Enterprise at SouthofBoston.com: "Whipping new dads into shape"
Hmm. I reckon I oughta read this before someone else tells me I should.
"We teach them about putting the baby securely in a baby seat on the running clothes dryer, the white noise of the vacuum cleaner placed within ear shot of the infant, and we also advocate placing the baby back in its crib. Most babies are safe in their crib," he said. "We say (parents can) go outside and scream in the cold and then come back in."
Well, I reckon Maiya will be introduced the works of Flying Saucer Attack and Experimental Audio Research right quick!

But, remember: When they get out of hand, shoot them in the HEAD. Not the chest, not the leg, not the groin. The Head.

Action Dude! at Sensasian.com
'Action Dude' is based on the late 70's famous skate star TONY ALVA
Apparently he's a werewolf.
Where do they get such wonderful toys?
Other Specifications :
Remarks : wearing a Vans OLD SKOOL sneaker and comes with a 70's skateboard!!
Sensasian tends to take FOREVER to load. But, they have some neat stuff and decent prices. (Well, that Tony Alva thing is pretty pricey, but it IS limited edition and all...) I ordered the standard edition of Infernal Affairs III from them, and they ended up sending me the boxset. So that was cool.

SuprNova.org ends, not with a bang but a whimper | The Register
SuprNova.org ends, not with a bang but a whimper | The Register
Yup, I guess it's true.
But then, just as the death and ultimate sellout of Napster yielded better programs like Soulseek and even, in a sense, Bit Torrent, the crack down on Bit Torrent will only lead to an even better method of download and likely with improved encryption. Because, I mean, really...the only use the internet serves is finding free porn and bootlegs.

Schrader's Exorcist
From Moviehole.net
Another Exorcist coming to theatres
Posted on Thr, 9-Dec-2004
Why isn't Paul Schrader's cut of "The Exorcist : The Beginning" listed as an extras component on the soon-to-be-released DVD?
Easy : His version is set to be released as a stand-alone movie all of its own.
"Paul is currently in post-production on the movie, as we're anticipating a limited theatrical release here in the United States sometime in 2005", Morgan Creek told Moviehole this morning.
When Schrader was hired to do the film, he was told to deliver a "non-pea soup" take.
"They made it clear -- no spinning heads and no pea soup," he told Daily Variety earlier this year. "So that's what I delivered, but then they changed their mind."
Stay tuned for an official release date for Schrader's cut.
