Stream of Consciousness / it's 1986 (on 1/25/05)

Is this that Bowie song that, well, isn't Bowie?

And BTW, love your new avatar, Beej.  And Poc needs to get her CJZ back.

i never even saw my czj!

i think bos might be for this 'no promises' song, which is stirring some strong nostalgia. but i don't know who it is.

BOS for verging-on-Katrina Blow Monkeys (or as Inspector Clousseau would say, "Blew Minkeys".)

ditto. unless we get some re-re. or something like that.

I was just fooling around and resized the CZJ pic for POC's avatar.  I think I'll remove it, since I'm uncomfortable making people's choices for them.  If anyone needs something tweaked, let me know.

hey - where is it? tweak for me! give me cz!!! please.

Most DMV's are quite vigilant about license plates -- you're not allowed to be lewd or political.

Stream of Consciousness / Happy Birthday Nicole

"Day By Day" didn't sound as good as I remembered it sounding.

But I think this may be a breakout for Ric Ocasek's only solo hit, "Emotions in Motion."

a gomer, perhaps? i haven't heard this song in ages. and, surprisingly, i like it. hmm...solo ric = good, cars = bad; solo gabriel = bad, genesis = good

happy bday, nicole!

it's causing quite the stir in NYC.

i was noticing yesterday how not too many people have license plate holders or bumper stickers bearing expletives, and i was thinking about how generally civilised we are as a nation. i didn't think too long about it...

The Princess needs an avatar!

thanks for making me spit blueberry muffin all over my monitor. seriously.

i tried to make an avatar yesterday, but couldn't figure out how to change the pixel size in paint, which is the only image-manipulation program i have on my laptop at work...

dayum. maybe i can set her as my background. foreground. all around ground.

I have no idea what any of you are talking about.  "The Cooler," wha?

i wonder if 'jeepster' inspired r. kelly...

Stream of Consciousness / Re: so, what's the deal with Cat Stevens?

Seems like a resurgence in his radio play lately, perhaps due to John Ashcroft?

maybe michael powell forgot to renew the 'cat stevens clause' before stepping down?
