Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Oooh, that one looks nice, Jesse. It even almost goes with the rest of my furniture, style-wise. (My furniture is a mix of IKEA, hand-me-downs from various relatives, and two antique bookcases and a nightstand I inherited from my grandmother. They kind of end up working together, though -- the wooden stuff is all different styles, but all cherry or oak (or cherry-veneer) and all relatively simple and angular. The fabric stuff is all different colors, but I found a bedspread that's got stripes in just about every color that's in my couch and chairs, so it worked out.)

The Goodwill and antique shop suggestions are good, too. I think I'd rather go with somewhere that'll deliver, though, as I'm carless.

In "This Day in Technology" (from Wikipedia):

1983 - Apple Computer introduced the Apple Lisa, their first commercial personal computer with a graphical user interface and a computer mouse. It had 1 MB of RAM, and was priced at US $9,995.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Also from Wikipedia:

In 1989, Apple buried about 2,700 unsold Lisas at a landfill in Logan, Utah and got a tax write-off on the land they rented for it.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Aww! I was so excited. They'd named it after me!

I feel a little odd about the poor buried Lisas.

I don't like the sound of that AT ALL.

I'll bet you could get a really odd song from that, lisah!

There are two books I can't read without getting seriously mental and it's ridiculous: Dearest Prickles and Uncle Socks. Yeah, I know. I even left them at my parents' house to keep from re-reading and flipping out. I've got weird issues...

GA pinged what I'm beginning to think are serious parent issues I have. Kinda a mess right now. Oh well. Las Vegas time. Nothing like goofy shiny crap to clear that up.

seriously! although it is disturbing to me on a very fundamental level. but being disturbed can make the art good.

right now we are working on a song about that really tall man (possibly the tallest) in China who saved the dolphin's life. Remember that story? It will be called "Reach into the Dolphin."
