Torture<\/strong> – Sorry about that nasty picture from yesterday, but torture is a nasty business.\u00a0 I don’t want these pictures released because of some perverse pleasure that results from seeing them.\u00a0 I want them released because<\/strong><\/em> they are horrible.<\/p>\n

Trilok<\/strong> – His new record is called Massical and it’s coming out in the UK on 5\/25\/09<\/a>.\u00a0 The original date was to have been early this month, but clearly that didn’t happen.\u00a0 When will I be able to get my copy?\u00a0 Who knows.<\/p>\n

Em’s extraordinary writing<\/strong> continues to wow people over at Planet Cancer.\u00a0 Here’s an excerpt:<\/p>\n

…wandering through the array of plants, designing my window boxes and picking out flowers for the back yard. I did it all myself. A year ago, standing in the heat would have been intolerable, and driving myself ten minutes to the nursery, unfathomable. But I did it. And I felt like Superwoman.<\/p>\n

*\u00a0 *\u00a0 *<\/p>\n

I realized, in amazement, that I could do it \u2013 make something beautiful, take care of something living, exert myself in the hot sun, and not collapse in a heap, crying with exhaustion. My plants are alive, and so am I.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Phillies<\/strong> – are killing me.\u00a0 Yesterday’s mid-week, day game was a great performance by ace Cole Hamels with not offense against the Dodgers’ ace Billingsly.\u00a0 Then we fell behind, then we came back and got the game to extra innings and then we lost.\u00a0 Em and I checked out a little early to miss the traffic, but not the empty feeling of disappointment.\u00a0 They’re starting a nice long road trip – hopefully they can figure things out away from home.<\/p>\n
