Feb. 6th, 2004 10:45 amWell, the iTunes Music store has added its second Billboard chart, this time the R&B charts, dating back to 1946.
Oh, and for those who wanted my full Angel gripes, here they are: ( hidden behind this seemingly impenetrable cut-tag lurk radioactive spoilers )
Wow, that ran longer than I expected. And I probably could have kept on going. For what it's worth, I enjoyed most of the episode, in spite of the complaints. But that's way too many flaws.
Does anyone remember Tripping the Rift (the other really obscene animation that was circulatinga few years ago)? Well, it's becoming a series on Sci-Fi. Although Terry Ferrell has been replaced with Gina Gershon.
Today is Christopher Marlowe's birthday. Happy Birthday to the the one of my two possible dissertation subjects, had I taken the other path and gone to grad school. It's also the birthday of Ronald Reagan, who is increasingly remembered as sweet and nice and well-meaning and only for the Cold War, instead of for running an administration that was more corrupt than any in history (including that of Harding, with whom history will eventually lump The Gipper) and fucking the world for generations to come. And of Zsa Zsa Gabor, who, well, has done nothing and been famous for it forever. And of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
justanotherg33k, who, along with Marlowe, helps to balance the other two (until we realize that today is also Rick Astley's natal day).
RIght now, the lovely folks from Surplus here, packaging a bunch of old computers. This involves unwrapping the world's loudest roll of plastic wrap, making it actually impossible to concentrate for more than a second at a time, even with headphones blasting music. I've written this sentence between loud plastic shrieking sounds. And people wonder why I'd prefer to work from home.
Link of the day: Remember the Valerie Plame story, you know, the one that the Bush Administration wishes would go away, as it basically involves both Robert Novak and at least one administration official committing high treason? Well, it looks like some indictments may be coming down soon. If this turns out to have actually come from Cheney himself (something that would honestly surprise me, as I'd assumed that this was more of an Ashcroft type of thing -- it's not that Cheney has ethics in general, but news leaks have never been his style), and not just one of his aides, we'd have a VP who had committed a capital crime. Lovely (and as it stands, the aides should be looking at the death penalty themselves).
