Mel and Gary -- I'm sorry too that I missed you both... Especially since all the Japanese armor at the Higgins seemed to be on loan to the worcester art museum for their show. Oh, well. I won't be at the auction tonight, Sunday, because I have study hall. But maybe you'd consider coming to Pomfret for dinner on Tuesday or Wednesday. We could go to the Vanilla Bean Cafe, which has very good food, or for sushi at the Harvest if you come before Wednesday. Monday night might even be a good night for that. This is exam week for me, so I'm not very free to go on extended trips around until after June 1. P.S., I'm getting error messages trying to use Mel's guestbook for this message.

Regarding talented people being assholes, I've learned in life it's really easy for people to be talented since gifts come with no extra work required. Being humble, that's another story all together. That's why I'm never impressed by talent and always impressed by humility. Talent is only as great as the person behind it.

Gary: Don't take it too personally; he thrives on a weird vibe of confrontation/intimidation. The first time he met me, he took lines from one of my poems and incorporated them into his reading of 'i could be a poet" that night. He has actively "cheated" in a slam in front of me, daring me almost to say something...so I did. Now he's fine with me, and we actually had a decent conversation for the first time on Monday night in NYC. While I will never trust him completely, I think of him, in an odd way, as almost like an alpha male dog: always pushing his territory into yours, if you're even worthy of his notice. You might actually consider it a compliment, in a very dysfunctional way. (I know it ain't much, but it's something.)

I hate the smug expression on Bill Gates' face. Plus, I think making a computer 'look good' is one of the stupidest things ever.

My Compaq Presario tower, Sony Vaio Monitor, Cambridge Soundworks sub, and Lexmark printer are totally incompatible shapes that make it impossible to organize my home office.

Much as I appreciate your logical and well-presented feelings in detriment of Microsoft, I cannot help but prefer the Windows, and in particular Windows 2000 Professional, platform, over anything I have used elsewhere. I find the Mac interface to be generally more cumbersome and unintuitive, as well as less pleasing to the eye. There are a few concessions I must give to Macintosh, most notably the use of the Unix filesystem in OS X, and superior compatibility as you discussed. But in general I have to say "Sorry, Gary, I'm a Microsoft-using drone and will be as long as they offer what they're offering today."

Hey, Gary: I didn't mean to piss you off. Truly sorry if I did...For the record I certainly believe that there is an "American-ness" -- and I get damn tired of the folks on both sides of the political divide who would try to make my own "leftyness" an un-American thing. I hung a flag proudly without a qualm after 9/11, at the same time that I deplored the jingoism of the Bush government. (It's down at the moment, but only because it's faded and I need to get a new one.) As for ancestry -- well, I'm not entirely white, and I have no qualms about including that heritage in my "Americanness"...but I do have to say that being non-white in America has traditionally meant some restriction of access to the perks of full inclusion...so I imagine that while perhaps it's unfortunate, some reluctance to embrace the term is perhaps understandable on the part of some. But despite that, despite my ancestry: no problem calling myself primarily American. None whatsoever. And I wish more lefties would insist on that...we've ceded that ground too easily to the right, as you have noted.

Right now my copy of InDesign is from work. If I can snag it, I will get it to you post haste. It acts very strange, though. Difficult to print. At first I thought it was an eps/binary issue, but I think it acts buggy with OS 10.2.2! It's encouraging to hear that you learned the print stuff on your own.

Hey Gary... I have a question for youse! I am learning about print (kinda been thrust into in my new job) and was wondering what the best way to render a photograph is if I am using it in a 2 spot-color piece. I changed it to duotone in PhotoShop using one of the pantone numbers, but I feel like I need to convert it to line art. Also, I have no idea what I'm doing. Can I spread ham on the monitor?

Sometimes a fish is dinner. At that point it is a ex-animal. Sort of like a dead parrot only more tasty. And I quote, "'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker. 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!!

I did not say that the government has any part in this except for the way they are spinning the story. Most Americans can't tell you the difference or if there is even a difference between Iraq and Al Queda. Most Americans are so ignorant of the Middle East that they will support a war of any kind if it gets rid of "them". I just think that it is becoming too coincidental that Al Queda is striking all over the place. I even heard it said that the sniper could be related to Osama bin Ladin? What? Where are they pulling that from? I haven't heard anything else that could support that claim. I guess I am growing ever more skeptical of the media and the government the more this stuff goes on... just a thought or two. - Bex

Gary, I think the rest of the world just actually needs PROOF that we should attack Iraq. It's not unreasonable for them to ask for a tangible reason. They are aware that Sadaam is a maniac, but we still need to play by the rules of the Geneva Convention. <br> We can't completely ignore our foreign policy and keep insisting that 9/11 happened because Arabs are "jealous". That's the kind of thing the dickhead popular kid in high school says. "Awe, you just hate me cuz I'm HOT!" No, we hate you because you beat us up and stole our lunch money in Junior High.

They hate us because we are inexorable. They hate us because we hurt them. They hate us because we are like the big dog that wags its tail, breaks everything in the room, and is still oblivious to its impact. They hate because we do hateful things in the name of an American way we give mere lip service to on the way to hegemony. They hate us because we do not understand that practically no one on the planet is an American, but we use practically all the resources. And finally, they hate us because they hated the Romans too.

When reading your note, I realized there are plenty of people in America saying the same thing to the American gov't, give us money and/or stay out of our buisness, at all economic levels. Not that this is really relevant to our discussion, if you can call it that, but it is interesting to note. Damn, speaking of notes, I wish diary land notes pages had a wider horizontal margin.

I think the "rest of the world hates America" thing is mostly because of cultural imperialism, more than economic domination. In addition, there is a preceived notion that America could be doing more to assist other nations than it does, such as in Africa, where AIDS and drought threaten to tear the region apart. I also think that the notion that everyone else in the world hates america is mostly a myth. You of course are going to say "Well, they flew a fucking plane into NYC, that's not a symbol of love in any nation," and you'd be right, but I would append my statement by saying that the hate many middle eastern and central asian folks feel towards us is largely a result of the US's commitment to Israel and zionism at all costs.
You might be interested in reading about the "cargo cults" Gary. There's a culture built on entitlement and demonstrates how the preception of unused and unshared wealth can turn into anger and hate.

Hey..don't hate me, but I don't think it's the money that makes the rest of the world hate Americans. It's the arrogance and the assumption that USA is the "Greatest Country in the World". I beg to differ. The violence and the ignorance run just as rampant in the US as anywhere else, it's just covered up better. I've been places where the people are nicer, the currency is better, the sense of worldliness is better. I read in Time Magazine, (I can't say quote because I don't remember the author) the world's idea of globalization is the sharing of ideas and getting along with each other and respecting each other etc, and USA's idea of globalization is "OK everyone else be like us". I think that sums it up perfectly for me, a Canadian, who has travelled a lot and seen a lot, and doesn't think the US is the "Greatest Country in the World." Sorry, no offense...:)

The mention about the double jepodary issue was taken from an interview with Mr. Reid's lawyer a few weeks ago. If you look at the text of the bill, section 801 makes references only to land and sea vechiles, no references are made to airborn ones so it seems that the Patriot Act sec 801 does not apply to airplanes. Wheter or not that makes sense is another issue, but the judge ruled that it does not apply. This really doesn't make any difference, 8 charges verus 9, the guy is still going up the river for the rest of his life. I just hope we don't try for the death penalty on him, that would really piss off Blair.
|
| from
chehedgehog : |
|
Gary, the reason why that charge was thrown out is because it is a redudant charge; in addition to the "trying to destroy a vehicle of mass-transportation" there was another charge of attempted destruction of an airplane. The judge ruled, rightfully in my mind, that attempting to try him under both charges would be double jeopardy.

I didn't take the poem from you because I didn't want you to have the poem...I took the poem from you because I wanted to have the poem...because it was great!!! Parody is sincere flattery, in my eyes. Thanks!!!!!

I am sad. Your wife is making cinnamon rolls and after my sixty-somethingith hour of work this week I cannot muster the energy to drive to your house. Save me a roll? Please? I will see you tomorrow. I wish you lived closer. Now, I pout.

Bless you! I know, I know...the cold is all my fault for making you sit in damp sand. But then, it's your fault for making it rain. Wheee! I am excited! The cover looks so cooooool! My favorite game right now: "Guess where each strip was taken!" So far, from left to right I'd say...the sand pile near the fish head, the log pile, a downtown building, the chinese food sign, and the sky outside the tower. (I mighta mixed 2 up, I'm doing from memory.)

Wow. What a beautiful entry.
I read (amongst many theories) that Pythagoras felt beans were evil and died because he refused to cross a bean field where he was captured and slain. That's probably not as poetic... just kinda creepy.
Beans, beans, the golden ratio fruit. The more you eat, the more you build the Parthenon.

Oh, c'mon. India and Pakistan hardly qualify as "medieval" states...mostly rural, poor, and much underdeveloped, yes, but India in particular is also pretty industrialized and tech-wired, at least in some sections. (Bhutan, on the other hand...)
The roots of the current conflict are based in the British-created partition of Pakistan and India. Hell, Pakistan isn't really a "nation" per se; the PAKI in Pakistan stands for Punjab, Afghan, Kashmir, India -- an artificially named state carved out and created by Eurocentric mandate for Eurocentric needs following WWII. There never was a Pakistan until someone decided it would be a good buffer between an imminently independent India and weak Afghanistan. (This imperial carving of countries in Central Asia was called the "Great Game" by European diplomats in the 19th century, by the way. Gotta love that spirit of play...)
The hate thus engendered by the arbitrary division, on the other hand, isn't just medieval; it's fucking CAVE DWELLER hate...and I fully expect them to toss hot shit radioactive love bombs at each other shortly. Don't you just love the holidays?
Great call on "nuke-u-lear", by the way; it's also one of my pet peeves.
