I'm almost ashamed to admit how much I like this song and video. (Admittedly the song is better in the early measures with that great straight-ahead beat, before it gets all Euro-Popy, but still.) Given the Emo Lyrics it might seem to be wildly inappropriate, but I find it a great big dancing batch of nihilistic delight. (Turns out I had previously posted an animated GIF of a scene from it.)

It's interesting to compare this to the use of the Gary Jules cover in an ad for the shooter game Gears of War...


  ...of the moment  
Giuliani led Republican chant: "DRILL BABY DRILL! DRILL BABY DRILL!"
Palin reminds me a bit of that Roseanne storyline where she wins the lottery.
As dumb as the metric vs english units is, decimal point is a dot in US and a comma in Europe is probably worse for internationalization.
DtI (dumbness that irritates) the Prudential T-stop's main E-line outbound stairway label says only "to Heath St", skips saying "Outbound"
DtI: Amazon's "Hello. Sign in to get personalized recommendations" the last two words are clickable. Verbs > Nouns for links!
Republicans think every "war" can end up as neatly as WW2: "in Iraq", "against Terror" "on Drugs". They are wrong and they are a danger.
I was thinking it was odd to have so many seafood restaurants near work, but then I remembered, this is Boston-Boston, duh.
I don't judge 'cause I give benefit of the doubt, don't want to be responsible for fixing. I do get angry at minor things that Shouldn't Be
Unlike "The Tao of Pooh", "The Te of Piglet" is a preachy, pedantic, and even apocalyptic work.
Sunday I was introduced to this young impossibly willowy Chinese w/ an Oxford physics PhD. Her family name, Eu(?), was old family--eugenics?
