I think that this Rhapsody blogging feature is cool as hell, and I wish more people were doing it. How cool is it to share playlists with your friends 3,000 miles away? Very cool.

I'm back in the saddle again. Thanks to Melissa for nudging me to get my username and password from the folks at Blogger and update this place.

Went to the movies last night with my friend Matt. We saw the new Clint Eastwood movie, Mystic River. The movie was great, but a little weird. Just before the movie, Aerosmith singer Steve Tyler walked in and sat down. A few rows behind that, Grateful Dead lyricist John Perry Barlow. Only in San Francisco. Or LA. Or New York.

Starfucker is signing off for now.

A Vast Left Wing Conspiracy?

Interesting theory about the people who are *really* behind allegations that Ahnold Schwarzenegger has a little groping prolem with the ladies, courtesy of today's Washington Post.

"But some women who came to Schwarzenegger's rallies today said they are suspicious of the allegations. "A lot of this stuff allegedly happened years ago. Why are these woman coming forward now?" said Lori Butler, 44, a corporate manager in San Diego. "I bet they're Democrats."

This is getting downright surreal, folks.

Overheard last night at the game: a drunk A's fan imitating a Boston accent as we left the game, slurring "We love Nomaahh [i.e. Nomar Garciaperra] in Baahston. Nomaahh hits, Nomaahh runs, Nomaahh playoffs."

I looked at this guy and I realized there's a reason I don't go to games much. These are not my people.

If you like RHAPSODY, then you'll love a new feature we're introducing next week that enables bloggers to drop playlist links directly into their blogs. All you need to do is click on the link above and my playlist of the day will begin playing. See, paying for music *can* be fun.

I went to the Red Sox/A's game last night at the Oakland Coliseum. There were a bunch of Boston people at the game, drunk as hell and dropping their "R's" moreso than usual. While it was a great game of baseball, the Sox lost again. God help us.

You'll *never* believe it: a friend of the Bush administration is (gasp!) using his connections to get in on the reconstruction action in Iraq.

Joe Allbaugh, former national chair of the Bush/Cheney 2000 campaign and until earlier this year the head of the Federal Emergency Management Authority, is now working on the Iraq problem, according to this article from Sunday's edition of The New York Times.

I would say I'm shocked, but it's becoming all too familiar.

Another Sunday, another fucked up story about the Administration's shoddy case for the Iraq war. Positively astounding. This Washington Post piece is a must-read.

Finally started me a blog. Heh.
