"When you've been to the edge of existence, the only place left to go is further." —SGU Season 2.

zaterdag 14 mei 2011 Up at 2:02. I should try to go back to sleep, but I can't. So, I'm curious about what happens after Intervention. Watch Stargate Universe - Aftermath. Synopsis: With food and water supplies running dangerously low and tempers flaring, a shuttle is deployed to an unstable planet whose Stargate has been locked out of Destiny’s controls. It's sad about Hunter Riley. Or can we be happy for him?
Turn on France 24 to catch up with Cannes 2011. They screen the film Polisse. The Hollywood Reporter says it convincingly jumps from laughter to tears and back again, never losing sight of the brutal realities at its core. Watch some news, but I fall back to sleep after The Interview... the situation in Tunisia.

Awake again at 8:16. Turn on KEXP to listen to Eat The State. Geov and Maria have a little spat about David Hiller working for the mayor's transportation department. Curry pea soup on rice for breakfast. Wait, Wait is a repeat. Walk down to Whole Foods to get that Oregon cheddar that I like. (Only $4.99/lb.) D'town is busy. I hear a tourist say, "It looks like Seattle is a big bus city." (And why not?) Back to my place, I turn on Travel With Rick Steves. He talks about contemporary E. U. issues. (I've been concerned with such issues, too.) They say The European social model is based on Freedom From... freedom from hunger, freedom from want, freedom from fear of another war, freedom from old age. They talk about how Europeans work and live together for a common purpose. Plug ear bugs into my head. Walk up to Capitol Hill listening to A Prairie Home Companion.

Coming to you this week from the State Theater in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota. With special guests, Tulsa bluesman extraordinaire, Elvin Bishop, the magical Concordia University Handbell Ensemble, and the Women's Vocal Ensemble of the St. Olaf Choir. Also with us, the Royal Academy of Radio Actors; Tim Russell, Sue Scott, and Tom Keith, The Guy's All-Star Shoe Band, Gospel vocalist supreme Jearlyn Steele, and the latest News from Lake Wobegon.

Walk down B'way. I notice that Kurt Cobain is taking a rest in the window of the funky Red Light Vintage store.
But someone or some thing took a big chunk out of the block. The Bank Of America, Noah's Bagels, The Highline and Hair Masters... Gone, gone, gone and gone.
Wander through Cal Anderson Park and back to my place. Watch Stargate Universe - Awakening. Beans on rice for dinner. Watch movie - Skyline. Have fun, kids. In about 12 hours, you're going to face the aliens.

Good Bye Phoenix
