bonnaroo webcast

so you don't have the time, money, or immune system to make it to manchester tennessee for bonnaroo music festival this weekend?

there is a live webcast - great sound quality, lots of close up camera angles, it's better than being there.

stream it live


right now it's the drive-by truckers passing a bottle of jack around stage. you can see them spit when they sing the picture's so clear.

raconteurs, les claypool, metallica, two gallants, tons more all weekend long

if it's not one thing

i got to the bottom of the swallowed bone mystery.

a couple weeks ago i was pulling out of my driveway when an old man who lives at the end of the street walked by.

he asked me if i liked poke sallit. i said i never had it. he said his old lady keeps asking him about the poke patch in my yard, and if i planned to eat any of it. i said no thanks, i had no idea, he's free to pick whatever he wants out of it.

i saw him last night & he told me as a thank you he's been leaving bones for my dogs.

i showed him the 20 staples on holden's stomach & he started to cry.

he said he left some chicken wings and a pig's neck yesterday morning. they were gone from where he left them and nacho must've eaten them when i let him out.

nacho threw up last night at 2 am. and again at 5 am. i haven't slept since 2, i've been staring at him waiting for him to throw up or his stomach to bloat up.

i called the vet the minute they opened and told the story & said i'd like to get him xrayed to see if there are bones stuck in him and got an appt. for 1pm

since then he's seemed fine, i fed him a little at 8 & just walked him around the block & hasn't thrown up again and he seems ok.

it is probably crazy of me to take him for xrays. but jesus christ.

googling tells me poke salad is a southern delicacy similar to collard greens, but is actually toxic to humans and should not be made or eaten.


*****UPDATE*****
nacho is gonna be fine, the x-rays showed the bones are passing through his system, he has gastroenteritis & he's on prilosec and semi-liquid diet for a couple days.

dios freakin mio

fan on full blast

from an email i got from dennis kucinich:



Articles of Impeachment

Dear Friend:

Under circumstances that can best be described as "suspicious," the www.kucinich.us website was crippled early this morning a few hours after Congressman Dennis Kucinich introduced 35 extensively documented Articles of Impeachment against President George W. Bush.

Until we can restore the website and implement additional security measures, you can find the full list and detailed Articles at
http://www.democrats.com/files/amomentoftruth.pdf
and http://chun.afterdowningstreet.org/amomentoftruth.pdf

If you would like to show your support for the Congressman's efforts, please go to myinfo.kucinich.us to offer your comments and provide us with contact information so that we can continue to keep you informed.

Thank you
Committee to Re-Elect Congressman Kucinich
