My other favourite recurring dream is the one where I'm out for my daily run (which I really do), plodding along as fast as I can while people casually walk past me. It's like I'm running up-hill into the wind while the rest of the world strolls by, staring. At least I'm not naked in that one. - - Yahoo!

Yikes! I haven't had this one, but I thought that perhaps switching to the other side of the desk, so to speak, would end the spacing-off-a-class- all-semester dream. Nope. I now occasionally dream that I've forgotten until halfway through the semester about a class I'm scheduled to teach. The students have dutifully been showing up despite the absence of their professor, but I only realize this until well into the semester.

I looked on the internet and couldn't find any information. It's a cute jingle but there is something so evil about how it sticks in my head. I know one of the original members of Devo wrote one of the softer side of Sears jingles so I thought maybe someone well known wrote this. "Here9s our jingle for Goldfish. We wrote a song for Goldfish The wholesome snack that smiles back until you bite their heads off! See the fishes swimming... Oh look the pretzel9s winning...

As early as the spring of 2002, Sarah had pretty much made it clear that her return for more BUFFY was unlikely, even if her decision only became "official" this week. I doubt this'll cause much of a stir on Audities, since they're probably still too busy mourning FREAKS AND GEEKS and firing off e-mails demanding its release on DVD to notice BUFFY's passing. Even if they did notice, a show coming to an end after a brilliant and fulfilling seven-year run where the writers have every chance to complete story arcs that have been present from the first episode, ending as a creative decision rather than a cancellation, with one spinoff probably continuing and another likely, well, that's something different than a show that gets the ax after a couple of seasons or less, and thus taps into those primal "died before its time!" / "evil corporate forces of greed killed it!" tropes that power hissy fits, fuel letter-writing campaigns, and otherwise produce sob stories that someone ought to compile into Foxe's Big Book of TV Martyrs. Mind you, I'd write its compilers to make sure that FRANK'S PLACE, BOB, THE TORTELLIS, THE LONE GUNMEN, and Whedon's own FIREFLY got their entries. later, Miles ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 27 Feb 2003 13:33:33 -0800 From: Micah Bedwell Subject: RE: [loud-fans] Lolita Nation PT. 2 This is so sweet.

Malone Cc: Mark Staples Subject: [loud-fans] Lolita Nation PT. 2 Damn! Tough day at work. Need beer. Mmmmm. OK, back to the past we go. Do you get the feeling I like the past? I think my brain constantly revises history to make it all better than it was. But anyway, this is really a good record, and I'm glad to be back there for a moment or two. Nothing New - Love the lead in with the guitar hook hinted at the end of Waist and the Knees. I doubled the snare drum on this and I'm not sure if that was a Mitch-ism or a Scott-ism.I know it wasn't a Gil-ism. Who needs digital delay when you can just make your drummer play it twice? I think it works ok. The World's Easiest Job - Not only do we get the word "retard", we also get a "Goddamned"! Go Scott! Lot-o-friends helped sing on this. The drum sound was definitly NOT my idea, but I guess in context it works ok. Mike Garson (Bowie) inspired piano part by Angie Carlson. Look Away - OK...here we go.A Donnette song. You know, I think it rocks.I'm aware that some critics and fans were horrified that anyone's songs aside from Scott's,were on this record.Live,it kicked ass. I wish I hadn't done the hi-hat and cymbal ride in 16th notes because that was a bitch and at the end of the song,I was plum outta gas. Gui would always walk back to me on stage and roll his eyes when we played this one.I'm glad it's on the record. Slip - Peppy! Pretty great Gil vocals if I do say so myself! What! You can hear 'em!Some very cool keyboards going on here. The screwed up drums at the beginning is most assuredly a Scott idea. The Real Sheila - The biggest hit we never had! What a song! We did a video for this and it's pretty cool. Talk about thinking you're a rock star! The video was very Kubrick like, and I still have a nasty scar on the back of my shoulder from that shoot. (hit it on a fire extinguisher box).I believe Donny came up with the some of the very cool guitar parts. Great harmonies thatI had nothing to do with. Bunch of chords! Great performances by all of us and this may be the best GT song Scott ever put on record. Love the big-ass drum sound. Andy In Ten Years - I think we did about a million takes on this bastard! It took us FOREVER to get the feel right on this one. Mostly because of ME!. It has to have the perfect balance of being laid back, but without a feeling of dragging. I remember Mitch told me not to hit too hard. It's a pretty song that maybe goes on one verse too many. Great vocals by Scott and Donny. (Robert! I always thought it was Donnie, not Donny, but I got an e-mail from her a while back and she signed it "Donny") Side three coming up. Thanks, Gil Yahoo!
