Perhaps you remember these AT&T ads, with Blade Runner-like sets and a technological dystopia where you are connected to your job by a technological umbilical cord at all times and your only connection to your family is a telephone!

Turns out the director of these spots was DAVID FINCHER who went on to directo Fight Club (and Se7en, Panic Room, The Game, Alien3, and apparently Rendezvous with Rama in two years)

ARTICLE THE FIRST

Elephant Man is playing at Lupo's at the Strand on March 7! That is a Saturday! Woooooo!

ARTICLE THE SECOND

I bought a copy of Mamoru Oshii's Avalon today. Who wants to watch it?

ARTICLE THE THIRD

HYDROGEN ECONOMY TONIGHT! WRIU 90.3 FM at midnight eastern time OR YOU CAN LISTEN ON THE WEB (again, hurray!) WITH (some) SHOUTCAST CLIENTS here
. We've had some problems with iTunes but Mint Audio works fine. MacAMP Lite and XMMS work as well. No idea about WinAMP, but apparently nobody's been complaining about broken-ness.

ARTICLE THE FOURTH

God I need to buy some new records. I have decided that I really like dancehall and dub and thus I need more cause I have none. I'm off to Skippy White's, Armageddon, and/or that place on Wickenden (what's the name? I ferget)

I found out Laura Gavoor died recently. This is around a month after the passing of James Stinson. Two great big names in Detroit techno going so close to one another makes me feel odd. (James Stinson was in Drexciya, and Laura Gavoor has been a promoter for Detroit DJs since the beginning)

I really hate Tuesdays. I get to campus around 10:30 in the morning (I SHOULD go in at 8AM like the other days). One class at 11, another at 2, work with my homework group from 3:15 until 6, when my final class of the day meets until 9. Today I had the added bonus of having to go back home to show off my house to another prospective roommate, in fact one whom I had previously denied, expecting other people to move in.

I think I need to watch Shaolin Soccer again.

Verdict on Up by Peter Gabriel
ALL GREAT HOLY COW

Verdict on A Hundred Days Off by Underworld
Mo Move - Great
Two Months Off - Great
Twist - Great
Sola Sistim - Starts off disappointing but good by the first minute
Little Speaker - Great except a couple tiny spots where the beat does NOT work at all
Trim - eh
Ess Gee - not bad
Dinosaur Adventure 3D - I am the only one on the dirtylist who thinks this song is close to the best one on here
Ballet Lane - quite good
Luetin - really good
sounds like they went back to the times before beaucoup fish and went down a different path instead. this album hardly builds on the previous one's sound at all.

Went to buy some music today. Came out of the record store with

• Helmet - Meantime
  
• Basic Channel Metalbox
  
• One Dove - Morning Dove White
  
• Offering - a Studio K7 compilation
  

Watched my favorite movie with my girlfriend who had never seen it before (Leon, by Luc Besson). She fell asleep, but I didn't mind.

I'm getting so frustrated living with my parents that I just can't stand it. Having only a 28.8 connection and no job doesn't help my mood.
