so, the article i read about allanah currie has sent me into a tailspin, digging up the ol' 80's music - the Thompson Twins were responsible for the best album of all time, after all - Side Kicks (as it's known here in the States) is a masterpiece...now i'm kazaaing all the kick-ass stuff from the late 80's - early 90's: The The, Erasure, New Order, Electronic, Pet Shop Boys and more...
i didn't come up with much of a Best Of 2003 list as far as music goes because i didn't hear much good stuff out there - Barenaked Ladies just sort of won by default...

not seeing the forest for the trees...
so i come across this article about Alannah Currie, from the Thompson Twins - apparently she's now leading a group called MADGE - Mothers Against Genetic Engineering - you'd think they coulda come up with a D word to stick in there, but oh well...
some of the actions they've pulled off are pretty cool, but it seems kinda weird - read the article and ya find out that while she's against genetic engineering, she's a smoker and drives a Jeep Grand Cherokee...seems like a big contradiction there...(granted, my disdain for SUV's has turned into out-and-out DISGUST after reading High and mighty : SUVs--the world's most dangerous vehicles and how they got that way, but that's a topic for another post...)

my "Tonight Show" debut...
as far as i'm concerned, there's only one reason to watch the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and that's Headlines. Perhaps it's because of my background as a typesetter, but i find that shit to be hysterical. well, a couple of months ago i was at kroger and found some rather amusing products for sale in the bakery. So, i "borrowed" the sign and mailed it in to Jay Leno, and he put it on the show:
obviously, someone doesn't watch Nickelodeon or they'd know it's SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS... *8-) or perhaps it was just printed up by a sick bastard that wondered if anyone would even notice...
