Not Caring About the Bow

Instead of getting really, really upset that Barack Obama bowed to Japanese Emperor Akihito while visiting Japan where bowing is a custom that goes back thousands of years, I’ve been working on some pieces of The Blog’s back-end code, playing Batman: Arkham Asylum, going for a short bike ride, taking a shower, eating some pasta with marinara, reinstalling the Flash player when it stopped playing audio, getting my Internet connection working with Windows XP and Vista in VMWare Fusion 3 (had to switch settings to “Bridged (Autodetect),” of course, how could I not have known?), combining the bit.ly API Javascript code with John Resig’s Easy Retweet, playing some more Batman: Arkham Asylum, and now here I am listening to Elvis Costello. What’s up with you?

Well, you know I've been here many times, and only certain hours of the day when I'm here am I asleep; the rest of the time I'm actually awake. -- I have a filler on a dat with zappa being interrogated by a couple of swedish fans/state officers(who knows)...in which they are arguing over the pornographic contents of his work. he tells them he has been spying on them, and claims that their porno industry is bigger than that of the US. it's pretty funny. btw-this is from thew '88 tour.
