Nine Inch Nails shows was great. They made incredible use of these massive screens with blinding LED’s that moved to the band’s sound and sometimes touch. They opened with Discipline, from their nee album, The Slip.

"Bill Clinton is not over it. He’s trying, his associates say. He’s slowly getting to a better place...."

“Bill Clinton is not over it. He’s trying, his associates say. He’s slowly getting to a better place. But his resentments from the bitter campaign battles of last winter and spring are many and diverse, and people who have spent time with him recently said they fester just below the surface.”

- The only thing bitter about the Democratic campaign was Bill Clinton.

Dear Bill, if you can’t fake being 123% behind Barack Obama, then STFU and sit on the sidelines this Novemeber. Via Denver drama: Can Clintons get over it? - John F. Harris - Politico.com

What books most influenced you?

Mon, 25 Aug 2008 14:19:13 -0400

What books most influenced you?:

Michelle’s Spell asks, “What books most influenced you? Not the books you’re “supposed” to read, the real ones.”

In no particular order:

- Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal. The most hilariously blasphemous, and somehow devout, telling of those missing year’s of Jesus’ life.

- I can’t remember the title, but there was a book I read in 7th grade about three teenagers that set out to create the perfect crime, and use blackmail to ruin their ball-busting math teacher. Its always stuck with me and I’d give anything to re-find it and re-read it someday.

- Comic books. Any and all types of titles, but they are influential because they are such a profound source of morality plays and the influences that make men what they are. The Dark Knight film is just the tip of the iceberg of the quality tales you can find in comics. They look pretty too.

- Sphere. Michael Crichton can somehow turn scientists and theory into great characters and into great stories. This book challenged my mind and got me to think in ways no science teacher ever could.

- Edgar Allen Poe. I had a pocket sized Poe reader when I was kid, and I must have read the Tell-Tale Heart and the Cask of Amontillado a thousand times. Maybe that’s why I’m so level headed— I know the madness that can take people for revenge.

- Catcher in Rye. I hate this book and I’ve never finished it. It represents to me all of that cry baby bullshit the privileged upper-crust wants you to feel sorry for them for.

- Great Gatsby. He changed who he was. He took everything he was supposed to be, and tossed it out the window to create a new self and he’s punished for it. I want my life to prove Fitzgerald wrong.

-Slaughter House 5. I read it recently and it gave me great perspective on the Iraq War.

- Asimov. Its dry, clinical reading, but damn if he doesn’t make me think about things in another way. Try Foundation.
