Re-posted with the less cleaned up (but more accurate) version - beware the LIKES
With it's hypnotic synthesizers and sexy beats, Madonna's Confessions has everyone chatting :
"I'm still, like, slightly obsessed with the new Madonna CD."
"But she's like... really lost her... like, range... it's almost down to like, my range."
"Like sprechstimme?"
"Yes. Like that."
Sprechstimme : a form of dramatic declamation between singing and speaking, in which the speaker uses lilt and rhythm but not precise pitches; a style of dramatic vocalization between singing and speaking

You might notice, as an avid b.w.b. reader, that the voting station has been removed from the sidebar. After a preliminary test-launch, several of my counterparts decided to launch polls of their own . . . using a tool called POLLHOST while I slaved over my computer, scratching my brain for html codes I had not utilized in years. I refuse to concede.

Given that you were to encounter a G. State Plate (leaving the unspoken, unspoken... Ref: Danger), it would be embarrassing to be caught with a bad CD in the player... and / or any number of bad CDs in the rotation. Choose guilty pleasures very carefully even while only 'sort of' in public.

People need to stop confusing what they know with what they know relative to what they know.

Fascist Capitalists
I received a lease renewal from my landlord. I was heart-stoppingly appalled by the 24% increase in my rent. I sifted through the papers looking for the Go-Fuck-Yourself insert, but they must have forgotten to include it.
I have not yet had the opportunity to contact my landlord to ask about this increase; I am hopeful that they are doing it not to suddenly make more money off of me or to kick me out, but because they are sending someone to renovate my floors and replace the hardwood with gold.

"How long have you known her for?"
"Six years - we grew up together." (a neat lie)
"And have you ever had a problem in your friendship? ... before you even answer, I will guarantee you no... once you are her friend, she will be by your side for life... 'til the day you die. They are never greedy and they will never back-stab you. They are not money-hungry... they are nice people..."

Murphy's Law
I don't run late; I swear. It's MURPHY'S LAW.
Without having done much research, I wonder if he at all tinkered with Bayesian Theory?
Given that I leave earlier to get to work on time, the train will be delayed.
Given that I tell my friend I am leaving my house right away, my mother will call.
Given that I lie and say that I am on my way, I will not find a cab.
After a quick GOOGLE search, here are some fabulous examples of MURPHY'S LAW from Wikipedia:

- A slice of buttered bread, when dropped, will always land butter-side down.
- If you stop and ask someone for directions, and they tell you "You can't miss it"... then be assured that you will.
- The light at the end of the tunnel is that of an oncoming train.
- Airline Travel Variation: The time you have to catch a flight is inversely proportional to the distance to the gate. ... and how much you had to drink the night before.

MSG
AREA OF INTEREST:
I highly recommend UDON to all palettes with few / no reservations.
It is like a drug and you always want more because 1) there is more-than-sufficient amount of sodium, 2) portions are never large enough, 3) you never know what is going to be in it. Life is like a solidified packet of UDON, right?

Let's Juba
Pinto or black? Refried?
“Juba”
Ask students to recite or “rap” “Juba,” experimenting with different rhythms and polyrhythmic interplay among
themselves by clapping and drumming with found objects such as pencils and books or juice cans filled with dried beans.
Juba this and Juba that and Juba killed the yellow cat
and get over double trouble Juba, Juba
You sift-a the meal
You give me the husk
You bake-a the bread
You give me the crust
You fry the meat
You give me the skin
And that's where my mama's trouble begin
You just Juba...Juba
Say Juba up
Juba down
Juba all around the town
Juba for Ma
Juba for Pa
Juba for your brother-in-law
You just Juba...Juba
Juba this and Juba that and Juba killed the yellow cat
and get over double trouble Juba, Juba
I'm a good at The Juba. Please see me personally for a demonstration.

Hats
I have a craving:
These do not look good. Not even from the aerial view. But I wanted to post them because they made me laugh. They look like "56 papier maché hats!" They are, after all, supposed to be hats.
This looks good. See the raggèd edges? Skill. I think it is blackberry or maybe blueberry. I hope it is not chocolate because those do not taste good to me.
