Using Bees To Effect Vengeance
I get to be as self-indulgent as I want without wasting anyone's time. Guilt-free solipsism -- excellent! Looking for that particular entry? Search Using Bees....

I'm Alan Partridge has to be one of the top 2 or 3 television shows of all time. It's airing on BBC America these days, so for the love of all that is holy, make it a priority. \| posted by Alex at 11:00 PM Wednesday, June 15, 2005 HOUSE OF COMMONS PRAISE FOR HAMMERS: "WEST Ham United's promotion triumph has been recognised in the House of Commons, with Ms Lyn Brown, the new MP for West Ham, voicing her congratulations to the House on Hammers Play-off Final victory. Ms Brown also praised the work West Ham United has done in the local community and the Club's continued role in helping to regenerate the East London area." Never mind that, Alan Pardew for Prime Minister! Who looks more authoritative? Tony Blair, yesterday Alan Pardew, right now. Probably. \| posted by Alex at 10:02 AM Thursday, June 09, 2005 Discussion on TPMCafé: "What's the best piece of narrative history you've ever read?" Time to load up the Amazon shopping cart. \| posted by Alex at 10:48 AM Tuesday, June 07, 2005 Wow, David Byrne's blog is, er, a bit better than mine. He's, like, thoughtful and stuff. But then again, would he post a picture of Twiki next to an enormous HobNob? No he bloody well wouldn't. Boo-yaa, Mr. Byrne. Boo-yaa. And I'm out. \| posted by Alex at 4:50 PM Friday, June 03, 2005 For those of you who miss her writing for Salon, Anne Lamott is posting regularly at the TPMCafe, Josh Marshall's new group-blog-like political site. Also don't miss Mark Schmitt (aka The Decembrist)'s posts there. Oh, and Kenny Baer! I like the idea of a conversational salon-type thing, but I find it hard to follow the threads...I'm sure it was a tricky site to design given the relatively novel concept, but I don't think they've cracked it. \| posted by Alex at 1:14 PM The BBC Philharmonic is performing all 9 of Beethoven's symphonies over the next month, and the BBC is going to hook you up with free MP3s of the performances. My favorites are 4 (so underrated), 5, 6 and 8. 9 isn't too shabby either. 1 and 2 are quite beautiful, 3 is a fire-breathing baby-eater of a symphony, and 7 is just so durn lovable. So get them all. If you are a novice and are looking for something to hang your hat on, the ones you've probably heard on cartoons (let's face it, the greatest introduction to classical music there is) are the 5th, possibly bits of the 6th, and the 9th. Incidentally, BBC Radio 3 has a live stream that is real nice for listening to during the workday. \| posted by Alex at 1:01 PM HOME
