Thursday, June 12, 2003 :::
Three of the four members of Octoroon Jihad held a reunion at Elmo's Diner in beautiful Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The only married Jihadian was not present, no band is safe from the Yoko Ono syndrome.
The night was filled with our usual repartee, discussions of Non-Euclidean Geometry, making fun of people less fortunate than us, and Fogel and Engerman's ideas on Cliometrics.
At one point during our conversation I had a good idea for a blog entry: "Contempt Prior to Investigation: Things I Don't Know a Damn Thing About But I Am Sure They Suck." It would have included things like the Griffin and Sabine books, Doors Tribute Bands, and whatever the next movie Chris Columbus makes. But that would be too easy.
Colon Bowel and Mista' Jazz both brought up funny incidents from my past that would be good blog material, but I've course I've forgotten them.
So back to my life and blog rut, work, pack, coffee with weird friends, and try and get ready to move. Hopefully soon I'll start this job they keep promising me, move into my new place, and take a trip to the Hudson River Valley and the Adirondacks for the fourth of July.
There's gotta be some blog material in all that.
Quotes of the Day:
Some famous last words.
"I am about to, or I am going to, die; either expression is used."
--- Dominique Bouhours, French grammarian.
"And now with my latest writing and utterance, and with what will be near my latest breath, I here repeat and would willingly proclaim my unmitigated hatred to yankee rule--to all political, social and business connections with Yankees, and the perfidious, malignant and vile Yankee race."
--- last diary entry of Edmund Ruffin, southern seccesionist and antebellum manure scientist. After making the above diary entry in June, 1865, he commited suicide.
