"novels are more fun to read than macroeconomics lectures"
Yes, but history is more fun than novels, at least if you pick the right history.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Well, we can't all be Thomas Carlyle, but it's worth aspiring to.
(I am sure there are economists who are rousing lecturers too, but I don't know their names.)

Nutty, I love Hem. I've seen them live twice in Dublin; the last time was probably the tour they'd just come back from when you saw them. I think they'd just released Eveningland? Great, great band.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
I have not read any Nutty "novels are more fun to read than macroeconomics lectures" rants.
I should, though. The title is enticing.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I am listening to "I Wonder Why the Wonderfalls."
Why is there no more show? Waaaaaaah.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Why is there no more show? Waaaaaaah.
Let's not play the blame game.
Sorry. I hate that phrase. So I try to cope by overusing it.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Jars! I know they have released Eveningland in the US, because I have it. I don't know about releases overseas (or is there a region difference thing in records the way there is in DVDs?)

because I have it.
Oh, me too. I meant that the tour was for the release of Eveningland. I couldn't rememberise a timeframe more than that. And I think sometimes there's a region difference? I have European and US versions of some albums.
Also, have you watched Aidan? Because, perfect song.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs
I'm pretty sure my mother told me about it when I was pretty young, but I did not see it at first. A nice thing about the stories though, is that they're still lovely stories, whether the religious ideas they can reference mean anything to you, or not.
This is me. It looks like they're doing a pretty good job with the movie. I'm looking forward to seeing it. Hopefully it will take the place of LotR for holiday viewing (I hope that they're doing the series. Mushing together is just no good.)

Enough with the taunting already. Have some pity upon us poor DVD-less folks! Or, taunt all you want, but send us DVDs.

I just watched Aidan today. So great.
Now I'm watching e-ring. I can't figure out if Dennis Hopper is really short or Benjamin Bratt is really tall. Either way, watching the two of them walking side by side is amusing.
