Just wanted to share this discovery.
The album is free (though you should donate).
Just listen to Burn.
If you're not sold after that, I can't help you

Of course there are customs to respect but no obligations.

I just returned from Istanbul from a college trip and I must say...it is one of the most mesmerizing and beautiful and surreal places I've ever seen. I couldn't imagine how incredible it would be. Getting lost and enjoying the company of warm people, amazing food, incredible sites, and bazillions of bazaars...everything really exceeded my expectations.
Has anybody ever gone? Just want to hear your stories, I miss it already...
I've never been. I am curious - are there restrictions on what women can wear? Does the city have a Western feel, or are there customs one should respect?
Most Turks are Muslim, but the government is secular, so any restrictions on clothing are imposed by an individual's religion, not the government.
Exactly. Most girls wore scarves but they had patterns and colors and they wore them very far back, hardly covering anything. Ad they'd even wear short shorts too.

It's a surreal short story with fantastic cover art by Mexican-American artist Andres Padilla. I wrote it and it is now for sale, although the second edition is coming up soon, which is being reedited and include a foreword by me and an analysis by a friend. If you do buy it now, you get the second edition free, just PM me, and then email me your receipt of the purchase and I will personally send you a copy :)
I am also working on a spy novel, which takes place primarily in Turkey which I recently visited. Look forward to that if you like this.
Here is a link to my book:
If you don't have funds and want to read my works, go ahead!

You can even find Derivatives there, but you can buy the paperback on amazon to help support my college funds :)

I saw them live, very surreal sound. The drummer live was a tiny bit underwhelming but the bassist nails it.

Haven't posted in a LONG while but I just wanted to share that there's an upcoming book about various stories about rush through the perspective of their fans. Just check it out on these links :)

I just saw Quantum of Solace again and I remember disliking it (or liking it but not as much as others) and I think this film is simply a bridge between this and the marvelous Casino Royale. All three films show how Bond becomes Bond, so they're essentially. In Quantum he's so cold, but the plot is not really that bad, nor is Craig's acting. But he ends up realizing the error of his ways and builds trust with M, which is what Skyfall is all about.

My favourite bond so far --- haven't seen many mind you. I still haven't gotten around to seeing Goldeneye. Easily my favourite so far, especially the end where it keeps hinting at bringing back the older style of bond. Here's hoping that they bring back the gadgets and humor with the next. Personally I'm glad they didn't with Craig because he doesn't seem like the type that would fit with that. I'm looking forward to the future of bond. I'm particularly glad they pulled this off after that steaming turd that was Quantum.
Have you seen the Connory movies? If not, you really need to go back and see them.
The only one I've seen is From Russia with Love. That was a long time ago and I don't think I was able to fully appreciate it then. I'm in the process of tracking down the Bond 50 box set so I figure it won't be long before I'll have watched the rest. :)
You're in for a real treat. From an objective point of view, some movies are classic and surreal and simply treasure of cinema, and others are parodies of this. However, if you can actually just sit down and enjoy each one for what it is, suspend disbelief (sometimes more than expected), and just relax, you'll find Bond has so much to offer. So much, more than anything else. People loving some films and hating the others is part of the package, and that's why I personally love them all :)

I'm hoping they play Bravado...

The worst genesis song is Supper's Ready.

Anyone know the setlist for nashville?

Oh, well either way, he was pivotal to their formation and that's important to me...

I don't care what this means and I think that is the meaning of it. It would take plenty of dissection musically and lyrically and conceptually to begin to understand, and I've tried, but gah.
It's a beautiful work of art and one of my favorites and that's that. Sometimes cheesy but that's part of the charm and surreal aspect. Read the Annotated Lamb Lies Down for a pretty good synopsis/guide.

I think I just got fired, for a mistake that wasn't really mine. I admit I was wrong to miscommunicate, but I was misinformed. Anyways, good luck to both of us. I'll probably look for a job at the university.
