Some completely crazy nut sent me the complete set (Seasons 1, 2, and 3) of the Fox show Family Guy. I say “completely crazy nut” because he knows I’ll just take a weekend and watch the whole damn thing, and resume walking around “Oh, yeah“ing everyone to death. Tsk, tsk, Miguel. In other news, I’m feeling sympathy and compassion for a fellow blogger with big toe issues. I want to sign up for anti-clumsiness classes, too. I sure as shit need ’em. My big toe has a huge lump just below the middle “knuckle”, and any attempts to bend it (without using my hand) causes excruciating pain all the way…

I have been doing some mad Internet searching lately. Some of the questions to be answered: Who is Noam Chomsky? This may seem like a trivial question for more educated folks, but I have never heard anything other than passing references to his name, often in a critical context. I have George to thank for renewing my curiosity regarding Chomsky. Basic biographical and bibliographical information can be found at his MIT site. While this is nice for learning that (big surprise) he’s a famous linguist and involves himself in “intellectual history, comtemporary issues, international affairs, and U.S. foreign policy”, it didn’t cough up any information on why he’s so controversial…

I wanted a change. Not a big one, but a change nonetheless. Thanks to the joys of ASP (and the fact that I can’t preview some of these pages on my own computer), I’ll be working kinks out of the layout for a while yet. Bear with me and some pages are inaccessible and some disappear completely. One or two new pages may even appear. [Listening to “Safe House/Calling You” [Spooks / S.I.O.S.O.S., Vol. 1]]
