The Good

There was a second-hand CD stall in the Union today. I now own a copy of KLF's The White Room.

This is what The KLF is about
Also known as The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu,
Furthermore known as The Jams...

The only (to my knowledge) Discordian Dance outfit. w00t!1

The Bad

Two links about what (non-Lebanese) arabs think of Israel's 'justified retaliation'.

Riverbend doesn't like it, and for some reason, she sees it in a wider context.

Meanwhile, in Jordan, another educated Muslim woman quotes one who cogitates on 'Media Bias'. They come up with different conclusions than Erudito (amongst others) has.

The Ugly

You may have seen this post of mine, and assorted bits of verbiage, especially in comments to

erudito. I don't think I have been writing too well for the last week. From trying to read what I've written afterwards, I've found it disjointed, complex and verbose, while not actually expressing well what I've been trying to say. At times I've been so confused, not only by what I myself have written, but also by the misunderstandings others have made of my point (whether justified or egregious) that I have found myself arguing for (or against) propositions while wondering why the hell I was doing so.

In my defence, I have been busy, and more than usually non-linear this week past. And part of it can, I think, also be attributed to a mild case of mania. I had noticed that while thoughts were coming thick and fast, they weren't always staying around until I had finished the sentence.

Hopefully I've calmed down now, and even more hopefully it doesn't indicate any foreshadowings of a canine visit. Mania means that you do more, but not that you achieve more, it seems.

"They're justified and they're ancient
And they drive a high-speed van

They're justified and they're ancient
With still no master plan

They don't want to upset the apple cart
And they don't want to cause any harm

But if you don't like what they're going to do
You better not stop them 'cause they're coming through..."

If you'd told me you were a fan, I could have burned you a copy of The White Room long ago. Unfortunately, a lot of the harder to find stuff like 2K's (yet another pseudonym) ***K The Millenium that

pi_feathersword had lent me was stolen in a burglary a few years back, othwerwise I could have showered with even more subversive stadium house music. :) Go have a look at their entry on All Music. It's a hoot. :)
