Isn't this prohpetic:

"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and
more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious
day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last
and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."
--H.L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)

  Weird, blogger ate my last post.

Anyway, the point is I'm working on flash interface to blogger output and I've got the basics done. Check it out here. As always comments are appreciated, but it's still alpha. I haven't quite figured out how to deal with comments or archives, which I need to do before I start using the thing as my main blog.

The cool thing will be that anybody who wants to use the connector, and knows a bit of flash, can. There's an external actionscript file, and and external css file, so as long as those are included, it'll work just fine. I guess I'll write up a quick txt file on how to set it up if anybody asks. Of course, I have to get it working all the way first, don't I? I'm always counting my chickens....  ¶ 4:58 PM 2 comments

  Look at the first comic on this page here and do what I did:

  Well, I don't know why I was worried about the band. Clearly, we are obsolete.

  So, I'm not so much going to talk about T-day, because it was great and all but Sheri and Marguerite pretty much beat me to it. Not much happened except I realized my favorite dog in the world is getting old, and I'm pretty broken up about it. I also saw Matt and Mary and the soon-to-be Holly. I'm pretty excited since I get to be the crazy uncle.

I did realize that I had seriously underestimated season 7 of Buffy. I think we all judge it by the last few episodes which were problematic and kind of a letdown. Really, any end to that series was always going to suck because who wanted it to end? But really the first, oh, 3/4 of the season is pure Buffy gold. The episode with the magic jacket that makes you fall in love with the boy wearing it counts as one of my favorite funny episodes of all time. And the episode that Andrew narrates amazes me because of its structure. It's hilarious until the last 10 minutes when it takes this weird left turn into the deeply serious. That's the kind of thing that usually kills a short piece for me but, and here's where the writing really shows its genius, they never fucked it up. That ending stands as one of the more sobering in the (if you'll excuse some pretension here) Buffy canon. Yeah, yeah, I really need to get out more.

I'm freaking out that it's been three months or more since the band played. It's depressing, but then I haven't done anything about it, so I shouldn't complain. We've been hard at work on the new album, so that's something, but I'm starting to realize what a shitty promoter I am. I say starting to realize, but I always knew it. I'm just figuring out that that means we're screwed. Oh well, I guess that's what happens to that rock star dream. It stings when it gets crushed.
