A Few Words About The Last Few Posts And Life In General
Bill Moyers and friends have been outdoing themselves lately on NOW With Bill Moyers.
The last two programs on November 7 and November 14, 2003 have been so shocking and relevant that I find myself saying “damn” out loud over and over again with my mouth hanging open.
I really am going to have to ease up on my blogging over the next few weeks so I can concentrate on my graduate work (which, ironically, I will also be blogging about shortly). However, before I take that plunge, I decided I had to get this stuff up first so the ball could get rolling on properly exposing this stuff. (Stuff = Mistreatment of Shrub War Vets and The Connecton Between Certain Shrub Administration Officials and “Gold Rush” Iraqi reconstruction contracts.)
I don’t know what exactly can be done about these situations, and I’m certainly in no position to do anything personally about them anytime soon. But I have to believe that somehow, some way, there’s someone out there that has the power to help fix things, if only they knew about them.
Maybe now they will know.
Have a great day everybody!
Donald Rumsfeld On Meet The Press – Link to Complete Directory
This is from the November 2, 2003 program.
I’ll be blogging this proper-like later in the day, but I gotta go to tai chi and band practice so it’s gotta wait till later.
However, for those of you that have been waiting for this, and don’t need my charming commentary to get what you need out of it, here’s the directory where everything’s already uploaded:
Rummy On Meet The Press
See you later today. Lots of goodies in the kitty…
Many Apol-poly-logies…
Sorry to be asleep at my post for the most part this week (except for my San Francisco pre-election coverage – which I’m guessing doesn’t mean Jack to most of you, considering you’re scattered out all over the world).
This week, my over-impacted schedule kind of bubbled over and burned me a bit — I’m still about a week behind on everything, but at least I might actually be caught up in a week. (Which would be nice.)
While doing inventory, I realized that I’m about two weeks behind on my Daily Show clips — yikes! There’s some timely stuff in there too!
So I’ve decided to block out the rest of the afternoon to catch up on those.
I’m going to wait to capture tonight’s Daily Show, and then I swear I’m going to send off my camera to be serviced. What does this matter to you? Well it means no new Daily Show clips for two weeks. (gasp!)
I can live through it if you can…
Alright, enough yappin and time to do some linkin…
Moving Right Along…
So I haven’t even found out how much of the election turned out yet, but, for me, this election was really all about the experience of it all. I had a great time voting yesterday. I had some great conversations with the poll workers in my precinct, and decided to go home and get the camera and interview the lot of them.
So Matt Gonzales it is then.
The music video shoot went well last night. I got to wear all black and shiny boots and an eye patch and a funny agent hat. It was great hanging out with Gregory from widehive records and I interviewed Azeem, who is an independent artist in his own right, as well as the lead singer for the band Variable Unit on Under Surveillance (and the star of the video).
Good Morning: Remember To Vote Today!
I’m almost finished with my pre-election info coverage. Just a few more clips to go and the rest will be up to you.
Thanks for paying attention. I had 1,600+ people on my site yesterday, and that’s a good day for me, so I guess somebody saw this stuff. Hope it was helpful.
I’m going to finish up the Ammiano interview — just because I’m trying to finish what I start these days. Then I can get to those other clips I promised (Dean on 60 Minutes and on BET and in SF last week, Rummy spouting off the usual rubbish on Meet The Press about his memo), and I also have a special message of faith from the South Park kids about filesharing I can’t wait to get up.
Someone sent me a really important article about scary shit like the reinstatement of the draft that you can bet will get more of my attention in the near future. (Once the dust clears from all this election stuff.)
Soon I’ll need to get my “Agent” attire together for the music video that Ryan Junell is shooting tonight for the Mayhem Mysitcs. As far as I know, he is still looking for other people to be Agents (and Agents w/video cameras), so if you’re interested, shoot me an email and I’ll give you the details. He’s shooting tonight and tomorrow on location here in San Francisco. (lisarein@finetuning.com)
Well I’d better get to work!
Rummy On Meet The Press This Morning — And Other Stuff
No, I don’t have it up yet, but I did get it, and after I finish with the election stuff (things must happen in order, or they, like, don’t happen) I promise I’ll get the Rummy stuff up next.
I just want you to be sure it was in the kitty. I haven’t watched it yet, but I’m assuming he is responding to “the memo.”…
Okay, so, I’m obviously back and about to go on a video rampage. I’ll have to get the Dean on 60 minutes up soon too. And, jeez, what else, just a stack of stuff…Last Saturday’s protest (Oct 25, 2003) still hasn’t gone up yet (it’s captured though…). There’s Dean in SF Wednesday (October 29, 2003) (also captured). There’s Laura Splan’s recent blood painting opening (just in time for halloween…doh!)…and I don’t know what else….but if it’s uploaded to the archive, it’s a-gettin-a-linked.
I’ve fallen into that stupid trap of not taking enough time to blog clips I’ve already crunched and uploaded — and that’s just plain stupid. So allow me to catch up a bit over the next day or two…
Didn’t Get As Much Up As I Was Hoping To This Morning…
Hey guys, I wasn’t able to get as much up as I wanted to this morning, and now I’ve got to go to school. But I’ll be catching up on everything I promised tonight.
Have a great day!
Nothing New Going Up Tonight
I’m BEAT with a capital everything tonight guys. I managed to get out and record the Dean rally, but last night was one of those late one’s that I mentioned are known to happen on occasion, so I’m going to go to bed early-like, and I’ll put up a bunch more foo clips, and Daily Show clips, and Howard Dean on 60 minutes, and other goodies in the AM.
Do I Ever Sleep?
A fellow student asked me a question this morning that I get a lot (at least twice a week, lately): Do I ever sleep?
Yes I sleep at least 7-8 hours a night, or my whole world falls apart. Thanks for asking.
Oh, okay. Sometimes I have to work late, or I’ll start writing a song and get kind of obsessive about not going to bed until I finish the lyrics, or I’ll go to a concert or an event get home at dawn, or whatever. I’m not a saint.
At Foo Camp, for example, I was just too excited most of the time to get to bed before 2 or 3 in the morning, even though I knew I had to be up early in the morning to work on my movies.
But for the most part, during the week. Sleep is a fundamental requirement that I very rarely compromise.
To those of you operating on less than 8 hours a night, I highly recommend either going to bed earlier or waking up later, depending on your other obligations. It may seem like you’re getting less done at first, due to time constraints, but I predict that your productivity will increase by as much as 25% in the short term and as much as 50% in the long term (how it worked out for me).
