Okay, not drunk, but still slightly tipsy after a small shindig organized by Mark Schulze. It was awkward; I didn't know anyone, and most of the kids there were Towson types. Ahh, whatever. Free beer.

OPINION: Mallard Fillmore, a comic appearing in many national newspapers that offers a conservative counterpoint to prominent liberal comic strips, sucks.

***

FACT: I've gotten some new albums recently.

OPINION: The following ones are great:

Sufjan Stevens- Come On Feel The Illinoise!
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! - Self-Titled
Sleater-Kinney- One Beat
Sleater-Kinney- All Hands On The Bad One
Damien Jurado- Where Shall You Take Me?
Devendra Banhart- Rejoicing In The Hands

Three of those above albums are folk(ish): Sufjan, Jurado, and Banhart. And they're all excellent. If you are reading this, and you're an indie sort, pick these gems up.

FACT: The Kodiak Bear is the second Northernmost bear, under the Polar Bear.

OPINION: The Kodiak Bear is friggin' awesome.

***

FACT: I am reading One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.

OPINION: After reading this, I will read this Harry Potter business everyone has been hoot-hooting about, and then I will move on to Kerouac's On The Road.

SECOND OPINION: When a person speaks about the future, which is by nature uncertain, they are professing a prediction, which could be held as a form of opinion.

THIRD OPINION: The same is true of subjunctive moods.

FINAL OPINION BEFORE THE NEXT TIMEBREAK: It may have been clearer, then, if I had marked the very first OPINION as a PREDICTION instead.

***

FACT: I got tired when I drank tonight.

OPINION: This side effect of alcohol sucks. It ruins the point of drinking.

***

FACT: I have work tomorrow, at noon.

OPINION: I should probably go to sleep.

***

FACT: I'm signing off.
