Майкл Джексон о капитализме

... was shot in a prison and contained video footage of multiple references to human rights abuses. Commercially, the song became a top ten hit in all European countries. In the US, radio stations were reluctant to play the controversial composition; it, however, managed to peak at number 30 on the Billboard Hot 100. © 1996 MJJ Productions Inc. michaeljackson.com http://community.livejournal.com...

...up there in my car so that Steve and I can leave whenever we wish. That said, that means Steve is going to be in the car with me on the way up too. And holy fuck lol, he loves to play with the radio stations, and it usually ends up on Hot 106. The rap station. It's 99% likely to happen. I can't wait. For however long I'm gone, I'll still be on AIM most of the time SINCE MY PHONE CAN DO THAT PLUS...

Where and when

... my first thought when, going down an escalator at Liverpool Street Station, two drunk guys in suits going down the stairs besides us asked us if we'd heard that Michael Jackson was dead. A few stations later, C. could check the news. It was uncertain. We overheard snippets of conversation. "He's dead", they said, nameless, looking at their phone and talking to neighbors and friends. By the time...

So Carry On, Don't Give Up, March On Until The End. The Road Is Long But You'll Reach The Final Bend

... most tempting, but the only problem is that the largest size they make is 8GB. The ZEN looks interesting as well, but it comes with a lot of things I wasn't exactly needing, like a microphone, radio stations and photo storage. Also, I would like to get away from anything with an I in front of it, namely ipod's and iriver's. Both have failed me as MP3 players with something about them being hard ...

Sublet My Ravenswood Apartment!

... a full bed and a large dresser or desk. -Both bedrooms have ceiling fans. -Window AC can be installed. -Lots of windows and sunlight! -Large living area (we have 2 sofas, 2 computer stations, television on a stand, a kitchen table, and some shelving in the living area) -Tons of storage space.

So...

... one of these things that I forget until I am reminded of it, like the roundness of the Earth. This did, of course, mean we had a trip on a route I haven't been on before. One of the stations looks quite attractive in a 'makes you wonder what was so terrible about this area at one point to get the money to do this up' sort of way. The area round Temple Meads is clearly a redevelopment area in the...

Gas Station Etiquette

...Broadway and Cedar in Somerville MA yesterday. The attendant was warm, fast, very Zipcar-savvy, and brought me mints with my receipt. So this post is a recommendation of those guys, and an embarassed question: should I be tipping at full-service stations? It never occurred to me before, and I have a tip-based income myself, so if I've been stiffing them for years, I'm gonna feel like a big heel.

Downloading Nancy

... two-note motif of a score and shot by Christopher Doyle with a blue-green lens that showcases the drab, wintery Northeastern setting, with its suburban homes of peeling wallpaper, empty bus stations peopled by meandering vagrants and hotel showrooms converted hours earlier from storage rooms. There's a void in my stomach that exists upon seeing "Downloading Nancy," a clammy pit where nothing ...

Supreme Leader is a Great Gig If You Can Get It.

... which practically made the CNN news channel. If 24 hour news won't provide 24 continuous hours of news coverage on the most important subjects, what, pray tell, is the point of 24 hour news stations? Instead of covering Tehran, CNN showed a rerun of the Larry King show, where King interviewed the stars of "American Chopper." Now, I get it, sometimes newsdays are slow, and sometimes you need to ...

Unfinished Business- Dues Ex Machina over my frakkin dead body Part 5

...his mind raced of what his eyes were telling him, before he knocked himself out of it. “Action Stations! Lt. Get my father on the phone now!” The Cylons had found them, his heart was pounding ...objected. “There's nothing we can do, it has taken us forever just to get to action stations over here. We're in no shape to fight, sir.” “They'll be wiped out!” “...
