is anyone going?

Sophia Loren from the early '60s to the mid-'70s, hands fucking down. would you ever give up your US citizenship?

tomorrow night!!! :D here's an interview to get you geeked: http://www.detnews.com/article/20110310/ENT04/103100306/1361/OMD-keeps-revival-in-perspective

don't be silly - there's almost no one left to shoot here.

this is a county-by-county map of diabetes...population density? whatever - you get the picture. dark reds = highest rate, white = lowest rate. pretty much seems to run concurrently with the bible belt. hmmm...

do people still shoot at each other while driving on the Loop?

goddamn, I love this song!

that freezing rain/sleet mix the weather forecasters have been prattling on about for the past couple of days? it's not supposed to hit 'til sometime between 4 and 6 AM, so there's something you shouldn't have to worry about if you're going.

I was listening to Eurhythmics' "Love is a stranger" earlier tonight, and I finally remembered what this synth was called. In addition to being Dave Stewart's workhorse synth on the first 4 or 5 Eurhythmics albums, it was Gillian Gilbert's main synth on New Order's Power, Corruption and Lies and Low-Life albums, so give it up for the little Octave Voyetra 8! :D

my best friend was such a regular at the Troy location that she was invited to the wedding of one of the owner's nieces. she couldn't go, though. :(

a lap dance is quicker. and cheaper. therapy fail. ...and there's no part of Kate Winslet's body that I hate, either. :D

if punk rock had started right after the American Civil War, it would've sounded like this: the name of the band is The Builders And The Butchers; the name of the song is "golden and green."

more room would be my guess. more set-up time, too - and it won't be blocking a major road any more. still, some supporters aren't happy about the move at all. a boycott is being discussed.
