happydalek discovers techno.
Apr. 20th, 2009 03:56 pmIt's a rainy day, there are no good job ads in the paper (again), so I am bored. This means that I've been sitting in front of my computer for hours, drinking entirely too much caffeine. My accomplishment for today has so far been to discover the works of Daft Punk, including their quite good "silent" anime movie (on google video) Interstella 5555, which is based on their album "Discovery."
( wherein I display my significant musical ignorance )
I actually had planned to do a review post for Arthur C. Clarke's 1953 book, Childhood's End, but apparently that's going to have to wait for another time when I'm less fixated on French techno anime and their terrifying robot puppet spawn. So...yeah. I hope you all found at least some of this interesting/enjoyable so I can feel a little bit less like I'm wasting my time. ;-)

Bush, Clinton, Bush...Clinton?
Sep. 28th, 2007 03:08 pmThis article just popped up on Yahoo and is amazing. It's been almost 20 years since there was an American president who wasn't named Bush or Clinton. For forty percent of Americans, that's an entire lifetime. And depending on how things go next November, there's the potential that streak could end up being at least 24 years. There has never been a time in American politics when two families have so dominated the White House.
As for me, I was a Reagan baby. ;)
