Purchased Kenna's New Sacred Cow CD.
Kenna
- Tim Bray's review of Longitudes and Attitudes: Exploring the World After September 11 by Thomas L. Friedman. Bray describes me at the end of the review, which is why I picked it up from the library.
- Dan Dickinson, on his wife's reaction—and his reaction to her reaction—to Britney Spears' kiss with Madonna: “Katie has finally hit her breaking point and has purged everything Britney from the house. All MP3s, gone. Bookmarks, gone. Stages book, gone. Britney's Dance Beat, actually we sold that back a couple days ago. I can't stop crying. Buckets of tears. OF RELIEF.”
- gapingvoid.com: “You don't sleep alone because girls don't like 'nice guys'... You sleep alone because girls don't like whiney-ass losers.”
- If you were looking for a Shockwave presentation of Saddam Hussein rapping over an Eminem beat, this is your lucky day.
- Heidi Fleiss: “[prostitution] laws are currently written by and for men.” Oh really? They may be written by men, but if they were written for men, then why is prostitution still illegal? “There is no downside to legalizing prostitution.” Sorry hon, there are downsides to everything. Since I quote TV in place of my own opinion...Donna, Josh's assistant on The West Wing, says “"You think if you make prostitution legal, then prostitutes are going to suddenly want everyone to know they're prostitutes?” Then again, Television Without Pity deconstructs that quote...
- Bottled water is an incredible scam: it's true, and needing water while still a half hour from home after dragon boat practice, I succumbed to the lure of a quick infusion of ice cold water.
- Halley Suitt's Alpha Male series: I call bullshit on pretty much all of it, especially Confidence Game. It's not so much that I think that "girls like confident guys" is bullshit. It's a little unclear how she thinks it's not patently obvious to those who don't have confidence that girls like confident guys. The part about needing to work to get confidence is bullshit, because it assumes that being yourself is the wrong strategy. NotDating™ seems like an approach best suited to those who, when asked by the Nelsons of the world "How come you suck?", as Skinners, reply meekly “Uh, I lack confidence?”.
- A "resume" of George W. Bush. Too bad it's not a resume, and too bad about the name calling, and the intentional arrogance toward the weblog's readers. (Any arrogance displayed on my weblog is unintentional, but I fully acknowledge it.)
- How do you read other weblogs? Quotes an opposing view to using weblogs as filters.
- Jarno Virtanen: “"the content is not, by far, all I am after when I am reading weblogs. You see, personality counts.”
- Venn Diagram of sexual fetishes. Weird, mine's not on there.
- Adam: “For a moment, my petty worries and cynicism gave way to a feeling of awe and determination — to accomplish more, dig deeper, study harder, love better, and ponder more fully. To engage in living more completely. To make my little corner of the world as perfect as the ripples in the water.”
- Rocking my world of late: Kenna's New Sacred Cow. This post is titled after a song on that album. Dragon boating: actually it's been kicking my ass more than rocking my world, but love it so much that, breaking with decades of tradition, waking up at 7:00 AM on a Saturday now seems unproblematic. WOXY Cincinnati: it's where I first heard about Kenna.
