And some people, look like incredible, dressed-like-Lara-Croft-only-with-
chains-on semi-naked babelicious freaks. Not that I stare. Or even look, or 
think about them, or anything ever. I only know about their existence 
because when these people walk into a room, all the straight boys nearby 
give out this universal telepathic deflatory pained sigh. It's like the 
sound of a wolf-whistle, only backwards, sucked in. Ooohhhhhh. 

The sigh has a meaning. All my life, it says, I have been told by my
superego that dressing like a Marvel superhero will not get me laid. And, 
here, here and now in this temporary saturnalia, surrounded by other males 
who are - at best - my equals in the ugly league division table: here is my 
perfect woman. But the world knows that this mad girl's flickering eyes 
craves just one thing. A man dressed as Galactus, Eater of Worlds. And not 
only have I left my Galactus costume at home. I never made it. Worse, I 
threw those biro drawings of me in the Galactus helmet away the moment I'd 
drawn them, ashamed to show them even to (say) Dave. And now I know: I'm 
not a virgin because I'm a geek. I'm a virgin because I have pursued 
geekdom with a less than pure, directed gaze. I have faltered, and now I'm 
just another guy at Baycon. And some other guy in front of me will be 
Galahad with the Holy Grail because he spent two weeks measuring out huge 
papier-mache clamps to fit on the side of his head. And I did nothing but 
stare at my Lara Croft pull-out poster, in the belief that she was not real 
and that I could not ever meet her.

Pursue your enthusiasms. Because if you're doing them right, you know 
exactly where they end.

He got a lot of guff from the people around us for his stance, but just ask Larry Craig what happens if you have a wide stance in the Twin Cities.

A decade ago, I observed that commercial certificate authorities
protect you from anyone from whom they are unwilling to take money.
That turns out to be wrong; they don't even do that much.

It turns out that my local supermarket sells canned spaghetti. (Note that "spaghetti" was not followed by "sauce" or even "noodles" in that sentence.)

It's in the ethnic food aisle, right next to the treacle and spotted dick.

So, The Current is doing their yearly top 89, so I thought I'd share my picks, in approimate order:

Neko Case - This Tornado Loves You
Easily my favorite of the year. There are some other songs on this album that might have made this list, but I'm limiting myself to one song per album

Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros - Home
This song will probably get old, but right now it's a fun, sweet song.

Florence and the Machine - Kiss with a Fist
Apparently this song is not about domestic violence, although it is hard to tell.

Lily Allen - The Fear
Kind of hard to decide which one off of this album to go with. There are several good songs on this album, and rather different than her first album, but they're both pretty good.

Jeffrey Lewis and the Junkyard - Broken Broken Broken Heart
Simple, enjoyable song. Somewhat reminds me of the Mountain Goats, although I think I like this better than anything the Mountain goats put out this year

Metric - Gimmie Sympathy
Metric puts out a lot of good songs, and this is one of them.

Cage the Elephant - Ain't No Rest for the Wicked
There are two types of groups that could have made this song. From the video, it seems that Cage the Elephant is of the lamer type. Still, quite enjoyable.

Swell Season - The Rain
I'm running out of comments, but still, nice song.

Matt and Kim - Daylight
It's such a happy song, and when you look at the video, they're such happy people.

Amadou and Mariam - Sabali
No idea what they are saying, but it sure sounds beautiful.
