"Gary Webb, a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter who wrote a controversial series of stories linking the CIA to crack cocaine trafficking in Los Angeles, has died at age 49. Webb was found Friday morning at his home in Sacramento County, dead of an apparent suicide."
by the end of today i will have slept, eaten, exercised, listened to good music, hugged, drunk wine, had dinner with friends, had coffee, been productive, and made exciting plans for the future.
it's extremely rare that i meet my quota for all desirable activities in one 24-hour period. i'm grateful.
here is a flower from my mom's garden (taken on my old floppy-disk digicam in 1999.)
well, if you're one of those people who responded to my poll and said that you had just never used the itunes store (or would use it if it was free), i just found this link where people who have a paypal account can get 5 free songs .
i really don't understand unprotected sex with strangers.
the last issue of the seattle weekly had an article about a man convicted in a HIV assault case. he knew he had HIV and continued to sleep with 17+ women without telling them. as a result, he could go to jail for the rest of his life. hiv assault is a class A felony in washington (same category as murder or rape).
obviously he's an asshole and every one of those women could die as a result of his actions. but where does personal responsibility fit in? all of the women knew that he was promiscuous and that they were not his only sexual partner. the article didn't give the impression that any of the women were unaware of the existence of HIV and other STDs. having unprotected sex is akin to sharing needles while doing drugs. you *KNOW* that you are risking your life and your body. i'm not saying that excuses his actions. however, he didn't rape anyone.
some imdb review said "makes you feel warm and sweet afterward"
most of the movies that other people describe as disturbing, troubling, depressing, etc. provoke little reaction in me. i can't say that visitor q completely succeeded. however, it definitely surpasses all the other films i've seen which have been described as "fucked up".
i tried to watch it at work but in the first minute discovered that i wouldn't be able to get away with that ;) from there on out i decided i was a fan.
i don't know the dj playing after me but she is cute, wears shirts that reference detroit, and took her name from a stereolab song.. so she must also be worth seeing ;)
the requested attire is pajamas. the event also provides cereal for attendees. i wholeheartedly endorse both these concepts.
