Tough loss tonight. Despite the second straight bad outing from Beckett, a vintage 2005 inning from Keith Foulke and Jonathan Papelbon's first earned run of the year, the Sox were 90 feet from tying the ballgame. At least my fantasy team is winning this week. (Dork alert!)
Snacks. While I've long loved snacks like Doritos and Coke, as I sit here typing this, I notice that I am eating a bag of "Back to Nature" brand Raisin Granola and washing it down with a can of Diet Coke with Lime. AND I'm diggin' it. Tomorrow, I will eat some fresh-picked twigs with a homemade wheat germ reduction. Then, I will buy a Subaru Outback.
It doesn't officially come out until next month so I'll take my time reviewing it, but the Mike Keneally Band's Guitar Therapy Live album is pretty much off the chain. "Guitar Therapy" was an apt name for this tour, too, as I've just about had my fill of "important" chop-deprived indie shlock this year. Thank you, Mike. The RIDICULOUSLY GORGEOUS and CHALLENGING interplay between Keneally and band is quite soothing, giving me hope that virtuosity is not, in fact, dead despite a currently oft-embraced movement in the other direction. If you have ever had even a mild interest in playing the guitar, you should give this one a listen.
A streaming version of Neil Young's latest, Living With War is now available online. Listen to it. Question: Once the war is over, how will our creative counterculture elites earn a living if there is no longer a market for anti-war music, movies, plays, television programs and books? I guess they could produce a batch of "the war should've stopped sooner" songs, movies, plays, television programs and books. Doesn't have the same ring to it, though, does it?
Soooo... Why does Vincente Fox seem to care about the future of the Mexican people only AFTER they've crossed the border into our country? I dunno, either. (Well, I kinda do. No, wait, I'm positive I do. But anyway...) He also ALMOST signed off on legislation that would've allowed "the personal use of cocaine, LSD, heroin and other drugs." I propose that since he, himself, is on drugs, he felt guilty that his fellow countrymen couldn't be as well. But then the buzz wore off. Has anybody seen his pants? Check back with him tomorrow. He might change his mind back again.
