He swims. He gnaws. He builds dams. He moves us with his intelligence and grace. He is the Wily Beaver. And he is here to INTUBATE us all.

Damn you Monica. You have birthdays every friggin year.
When we say, "I'll take a rain- check on that," we translate a social invitation into a sporting event, stepping up the conventional regret to an image of spontaneous disappointment: "Your invitation is not just one of those casual gestures that I must brush off. It makes me feel all the frustration of an inter rupted ball game that I can't get with it."
Marshall Mcluhan, Understanding Media, Chapter 6, page 59.

Looks like we beavers left Monica up to swing in the breeze. My mom is having a meltdown right now. She's learning that she has no control over events in this world.
I found a good college Internet radio station. The white-boy punk/ska version of Snoop Dogg's "Gin and Juice" won me over.
LISTEN LIVE RIGHT NOW! to K-Beach. Student-run internet-only radio playing a variety of music from Urban to Alternative for more from California State University - Long Beach.
If you don't like that station, try one of these Internet radio stations from around the world on Internet Radio Index.

Joe, that's classic. I like that answer. The second movie is mo betta cuz they don't have to introduce the characters. You already know who everyone is and it just sails right along. One part I really enjoyed in the second part was getting to see the home of the Weasley family. I only wish they would have shown more of it.

I had the greatest day today. I feel the pleasure of being alive and not being a cyborg. I have chemicals streaming through my physical body, neurons pulsing through my chip (Internet) body, and my astral body is everwhere at once. It is very pleasurable experience.

Read Marshall Mcluhan. I'm currently reading Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man. I'm in the chapter on media "hot" and "cold."
We have to put the magnifying spyglass back to the mixed-corporate media beast. Otherwise it will keep using us (human beings and our drama) as content. We are more than the content that is acted out daily in the Android Meme. The media uses us now purely as content now, nothing more. It is a living, organic machine that eats our dramas and replays them back to us in a satirical way.
Holy shit, I watched a great movie about the Kennedy assasination and conspircies called "Winter Kills," put out in 1979. Brilliantly written and acted. See also, The Manchurian Candidate.
And, Hillary and Bill are making sure that the democratic candidates are pathetic and weak so they fail against the horribly performing Furor Bush. This places Hillary and Bill in a position to "save" the democratic party for Hillary's eventual Presidency. Remember also, that the Bushes and the Clintons are good friends and agree on most issues, but the media wants you to believe otherwise.
