I actually wrote this post on my way out to vegas, but as awesome as the the mirage is, they still charge $10/day for internet access. LAME.

Begin old post:
I was so excited by the things in a previous post that I didn’t mention the stuff that I had seen that sucked. First, I was watching the TRIO network (which is generally awesome BTW) which was showing the “documentary’ ‘Kurt and Courtney’. It’s a documenatary where some jackass from England drives all over the west coast talking to a bunch of strung out herion addicts that claim to have been friends with either Kurt Cobain or Courtney Love. Absolutely ridiculous. Not that I believe that his theory that Kurt was murdered is so bad (I don’t really have a feeling on that one) but the guy just wasted a bunch of time “interviewing” people when all he was really doing was putting words in their mouth over and over again until they repeated it. I love trashy journalism techniques. Example with Kurt’s last girlfriend before Nirvana, whom “About a Girl” is supposedly written:
British Jackass: So would you say that you were sort of a mother figure to Kurt?
Ex G/F: Well, I guess maybe I mothered him more than he wanted me to.
BJ: So you were kind of acting like the mother he didn’t have growing up?
Ex. G/F: Yeah, I guess I mothered him
BJ: Right, then you were the mother figure that he was looking for because he didn’t have a real mother growing up.
Ex G/F: …
BJ: There you have it, he was searching for a mother figure. Now I need to take a break so I can stick another cucumber up my ass.

(I might have made up that last part)

And in other news, when I was strolling into work this morning (at around 11:45), I was behind a car with “W. is my President” shoe polished on the back windshield. Two points on this issue:

1: I live in Texas. It’s a VERY conservative state. It’s George Bush’s home state. There is absolutely no chance that John Kerry will win this state. There really isn’t a great need strongly campaign for Bush here.
2: This isn’t a fucking high school state championship. We’re electing a President for the United States of America. There are plenty of free bumper stickers, t-shirts, signs, etc. that you could use to show your support. Shoe polishing cars should be reserved for high school cheerleaders and the like, not for 40 year old handicapped women. (maybe
