I think it's deeply unsettling. Suddenly, my head is filled with Radiohead songs...

Wow...it's like in Minority Report when it would target the holographic ads to the retinal pattern of the individual...

and my website some how had an ad banner proclaiming:

"Josh's mom was great last night!"

How'd they know, there was no telescreen...
I am so confused!?

David, that was pretty inappropriate. I'm going to let it stand, but refrain from such comments in the future.

Thanks

Well, I could, but I decided not to. I don't really want to abuse my admin powers, and most of the time you guys are good about being appropriate. Since you and Josh know each-other, I figure he'll just take it as a joke (or delete it himself..).

Anyway, I'm sure it was all in fun and I didn't want to overreact. So no harm, no foul, but I wanted to make sure you knew that was sort of borderline.

so, i pop in my newly acquired Innocence Mission CD (Birds of My Neighborhood) . . .
and i'm listening to it . . .
and i click my favorite folder to unleash my xanga lurks . . .
(i've got about 20 xangas that open at once) . . .
and i flip through, and get to Josh's just as "I Have Not Seen This Day Before" comes on . . .
and Josh's entry says . . .
"Now Playing: The Innocence Mission, Birds of My Neighborhood: "I Have Not Seen This Day Before""

what the..?

what kind of a creepy journal do you keep Josh?


peace . . .
love . . .

I don't own any Innocence Mission.

I feel deprived for some reason.
