~ recent work: you have seen the test pressing of the the 2003-2004 lecture series poster for woodbury university; now enjoy a look at the final print, currently plastered upon the doors and bulletin boards of universities, offices, and other institutions of cultural merit near you.

~ edward rendell, take note: i-78 between harrisburg and allentown is hereby added to our list of worst drives in the united states, along with i-10 from redlands to los angeles and i-95 through connecticut.

~ georgia senator zell miller compares the opposition of democrats to the nomination of conservative black woman to the dc circuit court of appeals to a lynching, and he catches hell from his own opposition/party. jermaine jackson refers to the arrest of his brother on child molestation charges as a ‘modern day lynching’, and people in rome hold a candlelight vigil for him. we have failed to draw parallels between these situations, because it is difficult to understand why zell miller has been so intent on towing the republican line or to understand michael jackson.

~ the warrant for michael jackson’s arrest is imbued in the same irony as the hopes for the failure of george w. bush’s reelection campaign. while some of the office drones apparently find it amusing to stand in the ‘break room’ and make jokes about jackson’s probable response to his being raped in the prison shower possibly meeting the same fate as john geoghan, the prerequisite for these musings is the abuse of children. similarly, in order for the campaigns of anyone trying to replace george w. bush as president to be successful, one has to tacitly hope that the economy remains stagnant and that american soldiers and marines continue to die in iraq on a daily basis. if everyone in the u.s. has a ‘spectacular’ job eight (8) months from now and the u.s. military has left behind a ‘democratic republic of iraq’, then what would the average msnbc reader have against four more years of bush?

~ two further examples of irony: whilst typing this entry, an office manager just handed to us a paper calendar for the year 2004, though our employment will be terminated before that year begins.

~ recent work: we have been working on some promotional materials for southern california’s woodbury university. in circulation now are the ‘transfer san diego‘ card and the ‘study architecture in southern california‘ card. being pressed/shipped now is the 2003-2004 lecture series poster; until its release date, our fans must tide themselves over with a view of test pressing. look for the ‘hollywood kit’ to appear in these pages soon.

~ those with neil morris mp3s should now contact us with your soulseek [w] user name so that we may duplicate your files on our local machines.

~ research has revealed that cordless phone conversations in the density of harlem are effortlessly received by neighbors with cordless headphones.

~ we are grateful and excited about that 4% increase in income for next year that our president has promised to us; we are looking forward to a dinner of 4% more canned beans.

~ a woman on the a train intersects the wearing of a short denim skirt with the placing one foot on the handrail. riders sitting opposite her seat are distracted from studying calvino’s texts for the remainder of the voyage.

~ today’s anticipated drift through long island city failed to materialize. instead, we continued to remain on the island today, exploring the manicured propriety of battery park city and the nationalist hucksterism of battery park itself.

~ since it apparently has become acceptable for children to be taken out of school en masse for showings of the ‘spider-man’ motion picture [w], the anticipated peaceful morning viewing was stolen from our angry red agents. enjoying instead banana muffins and post offices on 125th street; we turn this weekend’s attention to films with apparently less public educational value, and therefore less noisy, snotty vermin, such as ‘dogtown and z-boys’ [w].

~ “JERUSALEM (AP) Fire erupted in the besieged Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem early Thursday during a fierce exchange of gunfire…”

they are at this again? if any of us at the angry red planet were christians – which we are not – we bet that we would be growing weary of watching these jews and muslims having their tired, stupid fight at jesus’s birthplace. the lack of creativity in that town is appalling.

~ this surprisingly astute quip from ben affleck is almost enough to inspire us to reevaluate our position that he is nothing but an elbow-bending cretin:

“Jennifer Lopez is opening a restaurant and I don’t know who’s covering the world news for Reuters. Is there anybody on the Middle East beat?”

~ however, there is little danger that any priorities of the media and its consumers are misaligned by the focus on puffy sean’s ex’s latest mimicry of his business plans; mr. affleck, like many others, does not grasp that the middle east situation is a global canard. the system understands that there must be variety in the red herrings they feed us.

~ apparently, we need to reiterate our intentions. we are not professing to the authorship of fanfiction; we are merely relating an anecdote provided by one of our agents who had subconsciously conceived of a possible outcome of the sw pt; it was not the intention of our agent either to entertain anyone or to provide gl with some ‘awesome’ ideas.

~ the temperature outside the angry red planet offices is currently 91 degrees.

~ an agent of ours has reported having had a dream concerning the upcoming ‘twist’ in the sw pt. according to our agent’s morphean vision, ob1 is revealed to be the true father of luke and leia; this cuckolding of the proto-vader is what finally pushes anakin over to the dark side. as darth vader is to later lay claim to luke’s paternity, we can presume that while he is aware of the unfaithfulness of padme, he is not aware that it is her coupling with ob1 – and not one in which anakin is involved – that results in her impregnation. yoda and ob1 decide to keep this particularity a secret from luke, believing that having discovering that his mother’s husband is a lord of the sith is less damaging than having him learn that his mother is a swinger (as in, to swing).

~ despite our seeming attempts at sw fanfiction and our endeavours to remain free of toolism at the hands of the commercial movie industry, we recommend that the populace go see ‘spider-man’ more often than you see ‘episode two’. you’ve already seen everything that lucas can or will put into a sw film: a light saber battle, *troopers vs. droids, * fett, star fighter battle – maybe names and faces have changed, but you already know the story. although you know that the green goblin is going to be killed after throwing a gwen stacy surrogate from a brooklyn/gw bridge surrogate, you certainly can not claim to have seen it on film.
