i know.  i have selective amnesia.  you get it
free when you teach 11 year olds you know.  comes
in very handy in class but gets you into trouble
when you're in the real world.

sounds like a top-notch idea to me.  maybe i can
be their manager then...

story of my life mate, it's nothing new to me...
basically, my bottom line is that i've never been
that bothered by shows anyway.  i'm not a show
kinda guy because i don't like people very much as
a rule.  it's a silly rule, and it gets me into
all kinds of nasty scrapes, but wayward and
cynical is just my way.  And as the Claim said,
that never left a lasting impression upon her
lonely heart...  but i digress.  i'm a sad and
lonely (not to mention bitter and twisted) old git
who much prefers the old bedroom and record player
idea of Pop consumption.

god i need a holiday...
