do you see what happens?

i dont know what is wrong with me, but i have been obsessed with the same music for about a year now. i just cant move on.....maybe it is partially due to the fact that i am no longer in austin seeing new bands every week for free. damn, that was nice. my ipod is seriously lacking a fresh outlook on life. help me out, psizzz!



i know im the one who is usually skeptical, but im gonna go out on a limb & say that carlos ghosn is on to something....or at least he has a good goal. listen to a story about his speech here. you will have to scroll down on the player. go nissan! someone must have taken the word "electric" out of the naughty word dictionary. desperate times....

i keep getting confused with all the figures that are thrown at me when i read the news each morning. $20 million (the amount of hillary clintons campaign debt as of last friday- no interest included). $500,000 (the amount bush is giving to myanmar). $16.7 billion (china's current trade surplus). $2.50 (the cost of my veggie dumpling lunch in chinatown today- i read that on google news). $2 billion (estimated cost of the new venezuelan-russian military agreement). i remember when $1 million was the biggest amount of money i could comprehend. ah, how cute. i hear $1m will buy me a fresh pastry in prague these days. one illegal arms deal & i am set for dumplings for the rest of my life (and those of my great, great grandkids).

sad to hear you are out of musical inspiration. i get bored about once a year and think no one is making anything exciting anymore. but then i go to gorilla vs bear.net and find my happiness again. oh, and they are from dallas, believe it or not. i'll have a mix for you by the time i get back to the city. greece says hi.
