a bad joke, and comments on the -what the #$*! do we know- movie
so around this time of year, some guy walks up and down the streets, beating his feet with a couple branches.
“what the hell are you doing?”
“don't you know? it's the winter sole sticks.”
yeah, well, the same to you buddy.
i would have written earlier, but i was busy stuffing my face with more 
i've been getting them in twenty-packs lately.
ok, the movie's name is “what the #$*! do we know?”. there's no “bleep” in there anywhere, but i guess that's easier to remember. thanks for the torrent, guys. to me, it came off better than it was described. i guess that's because i was getting the same personal effect that i got with mindwalk - i filled in blanks and made corrections as i went, still able to enjoy the resulting work. another good meditation on reality, for me, anyway. even some good humor at points. again, i guess there needs to be caveats to the less well informed about some of these areas of thinking. don't start here, you'll get the wrong ideas.
the animations / effects i wasn't that impressed with, really. sticking with the talking heads would have been enough. although some of the cell / biochemistry stuff was pretty funny.
eventually we'll get all these things straightened out. (the quote attributed to) einstein was more correct than he knew - everything is relative - relations, to be more precise.
i did like the credits at the end, when they introduced their speakers. the one lady i was impressed with (her demeanor more than her ideas) is credited as so-and-so1 channeling so-and-so2. dang, i fell for it ;-) first time i ever heard of a spirit getting a movie credit. is that considered a voice-over ?
sometimes it feels good to leave one's participles dangling in the breeze.
sentiments on the recent bittorent ruckus, expressed in tunes
bittorrent: after some heavy early losses, the fight is on.
for the departed: requiem
for the survivors: a call to arms
dang, that was a pain in the ass to find those songs, especially the zevon one. one symptom of the abused copyright, patent and intellectual rights systems. property ? it's like someone claimed all the water in the world, sucking it all up, leaving only vast deserts, and doling it out with an eyedropper, if even then. oh, how proud of themselves they are ! for types like that, i don't believe in evolution either. clearly, they're still apes. no offense to the apes.
i ran across some other groups doing zevon songs, but dang, they don't even come close. unique, that guy. sad that he's gone.
well, this has been fun, folks. got immersed in this for a few days, but now it's time to pay attention to the holidays.
unusual daily temperature range
it's 50 frickin' degrees here ! it was 7 just a day ago. (fahrenheit, folks, no si units on this site ;-)). but that's ok, it's supposed to go back down again quickly. can't stand when the grass needs mowing in december.
“i'm dreaming of a greeeeen christmas...”
