well, you enter contests and ... well, there you go.

if you're quick you can catch my name on the indieworkshop front page. yep. i rarely enter contest but a couple of weeks ago i sent in an email for this Sigur Ros contest. and yesterday i get an email telling me and three other dudes won :) then i check the page to see what the prizes were ... and i see that ::i:: won the grand prize :) Sigur Ros' ( ) album (which i already have but that's okay, i'll pass it on to someone else) and the Ba Ba Ti Ki Di Do ep that i never really got around to getting. how cool is that? :) i rarely win anything but every now and again i seem to get lucky (i won The Flaming Lips' Yoshimi album a few years back). two days ago i entered a bunch of dvd contests. lol. (and no, it's not because of the Sigur Ros contest; i learned about that one last night.) i hope this bodes well 'cause i really want that Kids in the Hall set.

wow. atrios has some cool bit of news for us. first off, Karen Hughes is French -- born right in Paris, actually. ha. let's see the right wing throw some shit at her now. come on :) and the other news is big -- friday night on Nightline, Ted Koppel will be reading the names of the american troops killed in Iraq while they show pictures of the fallen soldiers. this was probably spurred on by the pictures debacle, i think this is great news and shows a lot of balls on ABC News' part. i applaud you.
