my hotmail account gets a lot of spam. the ammount is astounding, really. It makes me wonder if Microsoft somehow helps spammers reach their audience. I like this: "Now you can receive FREE Jokes, FREE Horoscopes, FREE Info on Free Stuff, FREE Weird But True News in your e-mail!!" Holy Shit! No way! Sign me up for life! How do they do it for FREE?! I wanna party with that list!
Do they still make music videos? Whenever I flip past mtv, the only thing I ever see is a bunch of people in bathing suits in a huge hut-like structure on a beach somewhere lip-synching to songs that were popular about a year ago or the Real World. never videos. but I see ads. lots of ads. I keep expecting a backlash against corporations. Kids! Corporations are not cool! music videos are ads for CDs and tapes and artists. and mtv is a very well funded home shopping network.
I recently picked up bjork's volumen. I hadn't seen most of her videos before.
go spike jonze! I really like the bjork video (2.5 mb mov) he did a while back. shh! shh! shh! [clip from websense]
Here is a good quote for today.
the MX birds are stealing my emails and using them to build nests. bad birds!
I do not buy things/view ads from companies that send spam. mp3.com is now off my browsing list.
The sun was out for about five minutes. come back!
True Stories is one of my favorite movies. Because sometimes you need to build a stage in the middle of Texas and have an ordinary celebration of specialness. One of the best moments: Earl Culver (an owner of a high tech computer company played by Spalding Gray) excitedly relates his revelations about working to his family at the dinner table: "Economics has become a spiritual thing. I have to admit it frightens me a little bit. They can't tell the difference between home and work. It's all become a part of one's life. Linda! Larry! There's no concept of weekends anymore!"

I think the Internet needs a group hug. c'mon, let's hug.
