The song, 'Halcyon and On and On' is a favorite of mine, even if I'm not that into Orbital. This album, In Sides, has a 1996 live version that sounds very much like the live version that rocked my numskull in 1996? 97? at the Masquerade in Atlanta, with Bon Jovi popping in out of nowhere and then through a few pop songs before back to Halcyon. Nice. In Sides by Orbital on Rhapsody |

SCAMMER GETS SCAMMED OUT OF $41.50 Scammer Steve Ebe contacts me to attempt the usual 419 scam. Plans go along as normal, then all of a sudden comes a very rare chance to scam the scammer out of some cash - one of the Holy Grails of Scambaiting - a very exclusive club, and one that I finally manage to join!
Awesome. SCAMMER GETS SCAMMED OUT OF $41.50 : Welcome to the 419 Eater |

The rapture has become somewhat en vogue recently, due in large part to the inept, poorly-written, mind-bogglingly popular Left Behind series of books.
Okay, so it's old but I just found it and about spit my water out laughing unexpectedly on his rapture rant. ~Heathyr MC Hawking's Crib |

The inclusion of a canine companion threatens to transform Stewart's journey into "Travels With Charley While Dodging Kalashnikov Fire," but Stewart is admirably allergic to sentiment. At one point, about to collapse from cold and exhaustion, "half buried in deep powder," he looks up to see Babur barking at him. "His matter-of-factness made me feel that I was being melodramatic. If he was going to continue, so would I." The book is replete with fascinating, if fearfully context-dependent, travel tips. If you are forced to lie about being a Muslim, claim you're from Indonesia, a Muslim nation few non-Indonesian Muslims know much about. Open land undefiled by sheep droppings has most likely been mined. If you're taking your donkey to high altitudes, slice open its nostrils to allow greater oxygen flow. Don't carry detailed maps, since they tend to suggest 007 affinities. If, finally, you're determined to do something as recklessly stupid as walk across a war zone, your surest bet to quash all the inevitable criticism is to write a flat-out masterpiece. Stewart did. Stewart has. "The Places in Between" is, in very nearly every sense, too good to be true.
What a bad ass motherfucker. 'The Places in Between,' by Rory Stewart - The New York Times Book Review - New York Times |

Two boys growing up in a violent neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro take different paths: one becomes a photographer, the other a drug dealer.
Really good movie about a favela-ish neighborhood in Rio, and the drug trade as an industry there, the culture of youth violence, and a big ass gang war in a hood that has no police. Cidade de Deus (2002) |

So me and that guy in the background, shared the tiny space between cars on a train from Old Delhi to Pathankot in the Punjab. In this pic: http://lucision.com/legal/rjurney/India%20Pics/IMG_0567.jpg you can see the plates that join the two cars together. I snuggled over next to dude's legs and wedged a book, 'The Life of Pi' between my hip and that bouncing plate so it wouldn't pinch me and rip off my sweet little love handle. It was 12 or so hours of the most fucked up un-sleep I've ever, ever had. I'd do it again too. Me and the Man I Slept with Between Rail Cars.JPG |
