It’s a poor carpenter who blames his tools.

Arcade Fire = good placeholder. I am placated. Momentarily.

“Power outage” is code for “too much SchnellenShine”.

GameCock Tony – I was thinking that perhaps it meant that significant progress had been made in GTA4. New missions unlocked – weapons found, whores slammed…etc

Sleeping is giving in. No matter what the time is.

Are #4 and #5 mutually exclusive?

Orson, that’s why winners use blogger and automatically publish their posts. You, obviously, are a big loser.

I do agree with the too much Schnellinshine opinion.

Is that an Arcade Fire reference? They are the best band ever. Except when they are not, which is all the time. (Long sigh.) God, I hate Arcade Fire.

To quote another track, I guess you’ll just have to adjust.

Arcade Fire is a hopelessly pompous band, but that song thumps. It also has a video of young, sinister miscreants cutting the power lines in a city, which we find oddly compelling.
