oh, the big thing, i just remembered, i wanted to mention last night was Wesley Clark's plan to have families with incomes lower than $50k pay no income tax...! and for the people (families?) who make over $1 million to pay more. i thought this a) was very courageous, and b) showed an incredible understanding of the actual american people (ie. not bush's version of the american people). i hope this gets some traction. saw it on cnn.
what did i do last night?
the roommate and i watched the last two episodes of 24. she liked them. thank god 'cause i was a bit scared of losing her; the season hasn't been one of the best (but those two episodes had some nice twists and explained quite a lot that looked weak before). and i finally saw the whole preview for tonight's episode. i don't like knowing but this one got me excited. let's hope they got their shit together now that we know what's going on.
last night i also did something i hadn't done in ages -- i actually took out my discman, laid in bed, and actually listened to some music. and by "listened" i mean doing nothing else but listening to music. i usually have it playing in the background while i'm at the computer or while i'm driving; but this time i wasn't doing anything else. it was cool.
neko case's blacklisted sounded better like this, through tiny earphones. and i finally got into it properly. then after that was over, it was on to jay-z' the dynasty. and just then i fully realized how much of the master this man is. hands down.
i don't wanna get into a big THE MAN WITHOUT A PAST review because i don't feel like it but hear this -- it woulda made my top ten if it had been released this year. and it's not awesome in the way that i thought it would be. i thought it would be more of a dark thing. but it's not. it's funny, told in this very weird, straightforward way that makes the actors look very amateurish, but just works. i loved it. you know they've got you when you're laughing out loud at french subtitled of finnish lines :) a truly enjoyable film. and the lead's performance is one of the wonders of this film.
oh.
damn. i got my ups tracking number yesterday but couldn't get anything for the whole day and most of the evening (yes, i am gonna talk about this :) then very late last night i got something; it had shipped in the evening. well, this morning i got great news:
Jan 6, 2004 5:24 A.M. MIRABEL INTERNATIONA, PQ, CA ARRIVAL SCAN
:) that's the montreal airport.
even better than the last time. by about an hour. so i should be getting this by 11:30-noon today. yay.
i would've loved to have been able to work with the digital video essentials disc in the evening, though, when it's nice and dark. maybe the roommate will go out tonight :) fingers crossed.
and i'm hoping kelis' wanderland also gets here today. my calculations had it in my hands yesterday but i got nothing. maybe jan 1st got in the way. there's no way of knowing if it even shipped (hmm, i think they did charge my credit card, though. so they propably shipped it). i'll let go when i actually have that disc in my damn hands.
