Travel is Dangerous
My Saab died. Again. That's it. I'm going car-free for a while. Kind of a bummer, kind of not.
Worst purchase ever.

Age of Consent
I acquired several albums last night. For various reasons, I won't disclose the source of the music. Anyway, I managed to get some much needed new wave, such as the album containing the song whose name is the title of this post, and Ministry's first album. Granted, Ministry isn't really new wave, but if you'd ever heard their first album, "With Sympathy," you would certainly think there were two bands with the name. It was a total sell out on Al Jourgensen's part, but that doesn't stop the fact (for me) that it's still awesome. Shit, I've got the album on cassette in my car's deck right now. Speaking of, I need to upgrade the stereo. And get that rust checked out.
In addition to getting more tunes, I learned several interesting facts about cranberries. I knew that they were aquatic plants, but I didn't know that 90% of the time, the bogs aren't actually flooded - at least not in cranberry farms. I also never realized how far north the range of the cranberry spanned. It all actually makes sense, seeing that the acidic bogs are normally found in higher latitudes, and cranberries are a highly acidic fruit. I think this all has something to do with the fact that I now actually like cranberries. By the way, cranberry juice and amaretto is a winning combination.
One last thing. I stumbled upon a website, knowbeforeyouvote.com. Since it was neither "approved by any political campaign or committee" nor "paid for or endorsed by any candidate," there's no chance whatsoever that this isn't a completely fair and unbiased website penned by (a) Paultard(s) (which, by the way, is my new favorite term for supporters of a particular politician, right next to [Lyndon] Ladouchebag or Larouche Youth Movement - oh wait, that last one's real). Seriously though, Ron Paul supporters are the type of people who claim that the moon landing was faked and organized a march on the World of Warcraft. They support pulling out of the UN for fuck's sake! You can't make this shit up. They put the 'tard' in Paultard.
I'm going to go do stuff so I can at least pretend to not waste my day.
