Same as last year (*22) this is where I will be for the next week (Note: video found on YouTube; I had nothing to do with its creation and don’t know the individuals who did.)

Last year was the first year I had internet access while there, and it is possible though not guaranteed that I will again. If I do, I might post something.

Phil Ochs would have turned 68 today.

Hunger and Cold
By Phil Ochs

I’ve been all around your dirty old city.
Been all around your dirty old town.
I’ve slept in your alleys; I’ve slept in your subways.
Hunger and cold, they follow me down.

Chorus:
Hunger and cold, hunger and cold
I wouldn’t mind but I’m growing so old.
But as low as I am, you know I’m still a man.
And I wouldn’t mind but I’m growing so old.

Only last year I was rolling in money.
Only last year the good times would roll.
Only last year my friends were so many,
But only last year was so long ago.

(Chorus)

It’s all so easy to throw me in prison.
It’s all so easy to just walk on by.
But it’s not so easy to see a man hungry.
It’s not so easy to look in his eye.

(Chorus)

Yes there’s poison in my cheap rotten liquor.
There’s poison in every old garbage can.
But the worst kind of poison Is in your own brain
When you look at me and forget I’m a man.

This is a list of shows for which my DVR is scheduled to tape any new episodes, whenever they may appear.

Dr. Who
Pushing Up Daisies
Sarah Silverman Show
Daily Show
30 Rock
Heroes
Skins

So — any suggestions for addition? For someone who didn’t watch television a year ago this is disturbing enough as it is.

Classic Reruns:

I’m also taping every episode of the Twilight Zone and TNG…but I am deleting most unwatched. I only want a few classic episodes I recall from my youth, but this way I don’t have to know beforehand when they are going to be shown. I’ve done this already with Monty Python and have both the Spam episode and Spanish Inquisition episode, which is sufficient.

Blair is to blame for this, who blamed Dave, who blamed another Dave,

The usual style — make a copy and mark the ones you’ve done in bold and the ones you’d like to do in italics (or at least do something to make them noticeable).

New rule: And add one of each. Something you’ve done, and something you would like to do.
