Ai just left after some extreme ping pong (well, not that extreme). I think "ten more balls" or "five more balls" or "one more ball" is some kind of Japanese code for something that I haven't deciphered yet. Hahah I'm just playing with you, Ai.
Poser. Look at the name of this thing. What a lamer.
I had a dream last night that it was April 25th. And you know what's four days after that! YES! Why won't time go by more quickly? 21 more dumb days. I just can't wait for us to be slaughtered in the first round and lose to Alabama or Kansas or Guam or some other dumb place.
I'll be like Charles and post some lyrics of what I'm hearing. I don't know if I'm getting these right, because I'm just typing what I think I hear:
One day every tongue will confess you are God
One day every knee will bow
Still the greatest treasure remains for those
who gladly choose you now
This is what happens when I allow Winamp to run away doing goofy things that it shouldn't, like play all my songs on random. That song is far superior to the crap rap that I have, though. And since I don't ever delete songs... well... awesome songs like these show up too:
起来!不愿做奴隶的人们!
把我们的血肉,筑成我们新的长城!
中华民族到了最危险的时候,
每个人被迫着发出最后的吼声,
起来!起来!起来!
我们万众一心,
冒着敌人的炮火,前进!
冒着敌人的炮火,前进!
前进!前进!进!
Those two songs don't do well next to each other. It's like drinking Coke with school food. It almost reminds me of hearing a Christian song and then a battle march.
Excuse my French, but seriously, what the fuck? This is in under 72 hours...

Welcome home, everyone!
I was surprised that the Spain people even got to go in spite of the fact that something blew up and killed people within 500 miles of where they were stopping. School people always complain about "liability" issues and I thought wrongly that it would stop them this time, too.
The beginning of Chapter 6 in Angela's Ashes says "... there is a German Jew who is upsetting the whole world with his ideas on parallel lines."
I can't believe there's a reference to that in this book. I can think of David Hilbert and Bernhard Riemann (he's a bit old though) who would both fit into this description except that I don't know if they're Jewish... Emmy Noether was a German Jewish mathematician but I don't know if she did work on parallel lines... and this is going to bother me. Ahhhhh help me, Dragos!
Angela's Ashes just gets funnier and funnier.
I would like to take part of Erica's comment on Charles's Xanga, frame it, and hang it up in my room. The entire thing was superdense with awesomeness, but I thought this was the best. Anna has never been given a better name:
take venus and serena...no one ever called those girls skinny (Amazon is the more popular term) and they OWN skinny anna pornowhatever

No I didn't know that, and I thought that that Venus was referring to the planet.
I had a hard time figuring out who Serena is, too.

the williams sisters: they scream bloody murder every time they hit the ball, and they bring whole new meaning to the phrase Thunder Thighs.

Of course it should remind you of a Christian song and then a battle march...cus those two are exactly what you described.
Gene on Friday, April 9, 2004 at 12:06 PM
there's also reference to hindus growing faster than fleas in one of the earlier chapters of Angela's Ashes...i suppose you could generalize that a bit and tease rj
