notes
i definitely want to use these later:
lose yourself (Eminem)
lady (Fela)
Black man's cry / Eko ile (Fela)
Two weeks later: only three songs to go - experiment, what is this thing called love, and love for sale. all three are performed on the soundtrack of "De-Lovely." about half the music came from my CD collection. i just pulled a half-nighter (slept maybe three hours) scouting for free downloads for the rest(not that easy, ended up with Kazaa, got almost everything I wanted, somewhat recursive process though). i, the non-techie, appreciate Kazaa so much right now that i'm leaving all these songs on it for a few days (then i'll remove it since the risk of adware/spyware is intolerable, and also because i'm not entirely sold on the free music revolution - i want artists/the music industry to get paid fairly for their work.)
Thanks to those who put their stuff on Kazaa, especially the old showtunes (from Annie, Robin Hood, ...) what would i ever have done without you?
Several hours later: I got the remaining songs, thanks to a fellow Kazaa user. Expect the end product in a week or two.
Two weeks later: Enjoy the music!
I'm going to associate a song with each of my posts. I'll include the music too. Be patient.

notes
i definitely want to use these later:
lose yourself (Eminem)
lady (Fela)
Black man's cry / Eko ile (Fela)
Two weeks later: only three songs to go - experiment, what is this thing called love, and love for sale. all three are performed on the soundtrack of "De-Lovely." about half the music came from my CD collection. i just pulled a half-nighter (slept maybe three hours) scouting for free downloads for the rest(not that easy, ended up with Kazaa, got almost everything I wanted, somewhat recursive process though). i, the non-techie, appreciate Kazaa so much right now that i'm leaving all these songs on it for a few days (then i'll remove it since the risk of adware/spyware is intolerable, and also because i'm not entirely sold on the free music revolution - i want artists/the music industry to get paid fairly for their work.)
Thanks to those who put their stuff on Kazaa, especially the old showtunes (from Annie, Robin Hood, ...) what would i ever have done without you?
Several hours later: I got the remaining songs, thanks to a fellow Kazaa user. Expect the end product in a week or two.
Two weeks later: Enjoy the music!
Three months of research

I still haven't sold my car yet, but with the new low low price I think it will be gone in days.
I haven't spring-cleaned my place either. I need to lose some paper, sell some books, move furniture.
I've hit rock-bottom with my crazy-mouse laptop. I love you baby but I'm gonna replace you.
Anyway, after cleaning up my life, I will have to work for about three months...I'm a researcher again.
Insha' Allah, this will rock; right after I'll do candidacy and go to the Middle East, probably Yemen, for a month or two.
Okey dokey. G'night.

Three of the world's best minds
music
Faiza Jarrar
"if launching a missile against an American war ship somewhere is a cowardice terrorist act, then what is the brave nationalist act? How do people express their rejection against the war on Iraq, or the occupation?"
Joy Behar
She wonders and I wonder why incompetence rules.
Rosie O'Donnell
Once said that you must not wait for people to give you your rights, you just take them.
