in honor of john lennon’s birthday (he would have been 68), the group “imagine peace” is holding a world-wide call for remembrance of John and his message of peace.
From the Imagine Peace website:
Dear Friends,
Please join me not only in remembering John on October 9th but also in spreading the message of peace. This is something that was so important to John - the fact that we could all work together for the positive good of our planet. He would have loved how we are all mobilizing ourselves in thought and in action. It’s time for action and the action is peace!
with love, yokoYoko Ono

here’s a great video by the crew at bloggerinterrupted.com that was shot at a recent McCain/Palin rally in Ohio.
the results are simply stunning.
so i’m icing down my right pinky finger b/c of a freak accident involving a print from methane studios, an awkwardly hefty frame and a big-fuck-hammer.
currently, my fifth digit is nicely swollen and rocking a black-and-blue ring around the proximal interphalangeal joint.
it may be the pain speaking, but while trying to numb my finger out of existence, i cant help but think of this scene from austin powers:
also, i fear that my broken joint may become gangrenous.
the rude pundit had me in tears this afternoon after reading “What Biden Ought to Say (Rude Version)“.
So I don’t give a fuck about what Bush with boobs here has to say about jack shit. And you know what else? I don’t wanna hear about the wisdom of small town America. You know where the Founders spent their time? In the cities. In Paris. In London. Small towns? That’s called ‘isolation.’ And it’s bullshit political talk for ‘white,’ Gwen.
Oh, do I sound elitist? If it’s elitist to want to elect people who actually have a thought in their head about more than whether or not to name the next child ‘Remington’ or ‘Colt,’ then, fine, fuck me, it’s elitist.
i know what i’ll be doing this evening at 9pm EST.
The Vice Presidential Debate Drinking Game
Are you ready for tomorrow night’s debate between Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and Deleware Senator Joe Biden? Not unless you’ve downloaded the Vice Presidential Debate Drinking Game.
Download your very own game card here.
*gulp*
Update: I just found out that DebateDrink has a twitter acct and if you follow @DebateDrink, they’ll send you a tweet when you MUST take a drink during tonight’s debate. rad.
Last night on Countdown, the MSNBC crew put together a nice video of Gov. Palin’s greatest hits.
In honor of tonight’s VP debate, I’m passing this video along for your enjoyment.
you’re welcome.
back in ‘92 a guy with a guitar walked into a recording studio in Charlottesville, VA and recorded a demo track that glorified the love between a couple begrudgingly cheating on their significant other.

the result of a september day spent in the studio was a track entitled, “say goodbye” and—for this guy steering the ship—it remains one of the more personal and poignant songs that dave matthews ever laid to tape.
enjoy the solo-acoustic-demo from dave matthews:
…and the final-full-band-product that appeared on the album “crash”:
for us here at 1LS, one of the best parts of blogging is having a digitally-permanent record of our lives.
that being said, four years ago I was blogging about the Bush v. Kerry debates…
the more things change, the more they stay the same, eh?
Originally published Sept 30, 2004:
“Debate Impressions”
I’ve been trying to convey the impression I get when I watch Bush speak and tonight Jessi Klein summed it up perfectly.
“Watching Bush talk always gives me that feeling like when you’re watching an alcoholic uncle give a toast at a wedding - you’re just kind of hoping he’ll get through it without messing up too bad, but he inevitably does.”
today the following greatest hits occurred:
- went for a morning jog and did a set of “8min abs” afterwards b/c i have 8mins but do NOT have abs
- got to school early and got the kick ass parking spot right in front of the med building
- listened, studied and taught b/c being a doctor is hard
- stumbled out of school around 630pm and walked out to the farthest parking lot before remembering #2
- started developing a pain in my abdomen around 5pm and feared that my appendix was about to rupture…immediately began to panic about the timing of such an event before remembering the sit-ups from #1
- am considering carrying around a little pocket notepad to remind myself of number of sit-ups performed and location of my vehicle.
- listening to ryan adams’ “easy tiger” album b/c it’s Fall
earlier today i was trying to think of how i could drive everyone on the internet into an orchestrated-mad-fit-of-jealousy. when i found my new desktop wallpaper, i knew that my question had been answered.
try not to let your brains explode when you see how hard my seahawks-emblazoned-desktop rocks.
you can download it for yourself if you’re bad ass enough.
update: …and yes, having an NFL-themed wallpaper does make me feel like i’m 12 years old
earlier today, stonebraker twittered the following from the beautiful-autumn-wonderland that is Seattle, WA:
“it’s officially fall”
because I’m stuck in a pessimistic rut, i read this as “it’s officially FAIL“
i like his original version much better.
the past few weeks worth of economic news have been rather unsettling to say the least; in fact, one of the only comforting developments to come out of the bankrupting of america is that the electorate finally seems to be paying attention to an actual “issue”.
honestly, during that whole “lipstick on a pig” nonsense i thought i was going to lose my brains and call it quits and move to canada w/ the other cool kids.
for the time being, i’m going to set aside my plans for dual-citizenship and see how things shake out here in jesus land.
the image below is from punditkitchen.com and it really does a nifty job of making me feel better.
in fact, i think i’m going to start using this as my tag line at school when things get crazy.
yeah, this is definitely my new mantra…chill the fuck out…chill the fuck out…chill the fuck out.
note: this post was written a few weeks ago aboard a virgin america flight from LAX to Seattle. if you’re into really old—yet fascinating—material, then please read on.
oh my jesus, the guy sitting in front of me on Virgin America Flight 1717 has someone how found a way to recline his seat nearly 180degrees. if he were any further reclined, his head would be lying in my lap and we’d be locked into an old-fashioned death-stare.
also a kid crapped his pants approximately 30seconds after take-off. not to be out done, his little brother decided to drop a deuce too. the entire plane smelled of poop even before any of us has had a chance to get our drunk on.
virgin america is rad b/c each seat has this groovy lcd screen that ties into a giant media library full of stuff. among the goods is a nifty google maps representation of our flight’s position, altitude and air speed. i must say, i’m dissapointed that we’re currently only travelling at 521mph…isnt that a bit slow? i was expecting more like 700mph. maybe it has something to do with the ‘jet streams’ (whatever the fuck those are…)
a few rows short of first class sits the most amazing couple. BOTH of them are wearing eye patches (pirate style) and to top off the look, homeboy has the raddest bowl cut since george mcfly. i may not be able to take my eyes off these two the entire flight. part of me fears that they may try to commandere the plane swashbuckler-style.
oh and currently, the in-flight computer is reporting that the outside temp is -173F which means that our flight is frozen in a giant block of flying ice.
555mi to Seattle!
