From Anthony Lane's review of Sex and the City, in The New Yorker, June 9 & 16, 2008:
"I walked into the theater hoping for a nice evening and came out a hard-line Marxist..."

Today I subbed for Ginny, in the slot right before Think Pink. I expected to be a little more relaxed, since it's late afternoon, but the traffic on the way delayed me to the point where I arrived almost exactly at 4, which left me a little out of sorts. Also, this week is BMI log week, in which we have to record the composers of each song we play; this made extra work over the course of the show.

I am scannerless at the moment, so the comic came out a little odd — I did my best with a digital camera. Next week I'll rescan and reload.

Rather than reading my blog, which is boring and never gets updated anymore, may I suggest you read my comic, which is at hitchedcomic.com
I am officially no longer a DJ at WLUW. Long story.
However, the Chicago Independent Radio Project will have a webcast soon, and I'll be a part of that. And we can still talk about music... leave me a comment if there's something on your mind.
This blog is hosted by Blogger, but all the images, plus the rest of my personal and professional sites, is hosted by ULTRAsurge.com. They have very cheap rates available for sites like this one, that have low-bandwidth needs.
