Remember that guy, the one who broke into Amazon‘s headquarters? He’s got his own website where you can apparently watch a webcast of his entire sold-out play, “21 Dog Years: Doing Time @ Amazon.com.” I might try to watch it tonight after work…

Red-faced
Ernie at little. yellow. different. links to an interesting article that explains why many Asians turn red when they drink. Huh. I’m technically a quarter Korean, yet I’ve never had any problem with al-kee-hol. Can’t even think of anybody in my family who does, for that matter. Of course, I’ve never gotten my Grandma blitzed.

Princeton to replace loans with grants
Princeton can do it; why can’t we?

Book-A-Minute
Don’t have time to read whole books? Try Book-A-Minute! Actually, their reviews are pretty damn hilarious, especially the sci-fi and fantasy. My favorite, though, has to be If I Ran the Circus by Dr. Seuss:
Morris McGurk: “If I ran the circus, I would make Mr. Sneelock do lots of dangerous things, because I have repressed Freudian feelings of hatred for him as a father figure, because he made me clean up the yard.”

Vagina Monologues
More vagina: a Morrissey guys writes a really excellent letter about SMC’s stance on the play.

Molly Maguire’s
More hard-hitting journalism from the Observer: bar owners worry that getting busted might cause them business. No duh. The most disturbing part of this article is the quote from the owner of the establishment formerly known as “Bridget Maguire’s Filling Station”:
“I went in there with a bottle of disinfectant and a putty knife. It took nine months, and voila, Molly’s came. It was like giving birth.”
*shudder*

Vagina Monologues
It seems a group of ND and SMC women staged an un-official reading of “The Vagina Monologues” at Regina Hall. Publicity was strictly word-of-mouth, yet over 150 people came! I have hope for our campus yet.

Plastic.com
Poodoo! I was in the lead on Plastic’s Karma Whoring Contest and then somebody had to point out that you’re supposed to be logging on from the United States to be eligible. How much does that suck?! I give up. My karma whoring days are over. I hate you, Plastic.

Jinx and Max… friends forever.
Is it just me, or does this murder case sound exactly like the plot of the Gus Van Sant film To Die For? Except that in the movie, Nicole Kidman and Matt Dillon didn’t have any kids.
I remember walking out of our campus screening of To Die For thinking, “Man, Max from Space Camp got creeeeepy when he grew up.” Little did I expect he’d go on to play the loathsome Commodus. *shudder*

Attention music fans
I just got an e-mail from my college friend Matt Curreri, who has a new album out. You should order it. I saw him perform several times back at ND and I guarantee you’ll enjoy his work. (His label says he appeals to fans of “R.E.M., Belle & Sebastian, Elliott Smith, Velvet Underground, and the Beach Boys,” if that helps.) I’m curious to see how this album turns out, because on his website it sounds as if he’s changed direction from the “silly” stuff he did at school. That’s fine with me… I always liked the sincere stuff better anyway. Give him a listen.
