I started this off with breakdancing robots, but screw it...MOTHRA MONDAY

FLIST. So I had a big post planned about Palin's resignation and Robert McNamara's death, but that'll have to wait.

I so rarely get to use my King Ghidorah icon. Below you will see why I'm using it today.

But first! I got sucked into watching the new season of America's Got Talent last week

LIVING COLOUR. Ah, remember when we had that surge of awesome African American rock bands in late eighties and early nineties? And remember how the industry kind of ignored them and told them all that they wouldn't sell records, refused to renew their contracts, and they all slid back into relative (read: to clueless people) obscurity?

So I sat there, minimal ass affronted by the pink coral granite of the seawall, Dutch Chocolate Milk and ever-present Iron Maiden lighter close at hand, chaining and reading about this English guy.

You, sir, need your own entry in the TV Tropes "Crowning Moment of Awesome" page.

Also, little known fact about me: I had a brief flirtation with Newports back when I smoked! Then I switched to Export A (Gold mild, natch) when I was an undergrad - I wore all black, sat upstairs at Cafe Milano in Berkeley with all the other cool social science majors (anyone in a frat or sorority was banned from coming upstairs at Cafe Milano - they'd either get sneered at openly or physically removed by a bunch of pissed off poli sci majors in Ministry and Revco t-shirts), drank cappuccinos, and smoked my Export A Golds while I conjugated my Russian verbs, listened to Thrill Kill Kult, and read about Soviet foreign policy and Serbian nationalism. Good times, man. Good times. (I even read NIN, which was to Yugoslavia as Time is to America, albeit slightly more politicized.)

As always, thanks for the love. You know it's why I do this, right?

Mother's Finest is calling, Kali, and they're bringing 24/7 Spyz with them. I bought ALL that stuff, probably because I'm a WASP.

Also, little known fact about me: I/b> was in a fraternity. Well, technically, it's a music honor society, Kappa Kappa Psi, but I quit when I realized they had few musicians and no honor to speak of.
