Mary Travers = incredibly pretty and a truly fascinating, powerful voice.
When I was little, it was all about Peter, Paul and Mommy, Too on PBS.

Penny Arcade! - The Sony Syndrome, Part One
“Okay…Can we go to Best Buy?”
“No.”
Just bought a (needless) GPS device there today (and a messenger bag…and some headphones).
I need help.

Penny Arcade!
I love that the banner ads for the Penny Arcade game (On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness: Vol. 1) feature negative comments from the Wired blog post on its release. It’s that combo of self-effacing humor and “screw all of you” grumble that hits me in my consumer sweet spot. The site for the game seems to be down at the moment, but the banner ads are up on the Penny Arcade site; just keep hitting refresh if you don’t catch them on the first load.
I purchased the game out of curiosity and I find it most entertaining, so far. I’m not the biggest gamer in the world, though. I’m not sure my opinion counts for much.

Torn
I thought I saw a man brought to life
He was warm, he came around like he was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry
Well you couldnt be that man I adored
You dont seem to know, dont seem to care what your heart is for
But I dont know him anymore
Theres nothing where he used to lie
My conversation has run dry
Thats whats going on, nothings fine Im torn
Im all out of faith, this is how I feel
Im cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
Im wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
Youre a little late, Im already torn
So I guess the fortune tellers right
Should have seen just what was there and not some holy light
To crawl beneath my veins and now
I dont care, I have no luck, I dont miss it all that much
Theres just so many things that I cant touch, Im torn
Im all out of faith, this is how I feel
Im cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
Im wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
Youre a little late, Im already torn. torn.
Theres nothing where he used to lie
My inspiration has run dry
Thats whats going on, nothings right, Im torn
Im all out of faith, this is how I feel
Im cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
Im wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
Im all out of faith, this is how I feel
Im cold and Im ashamed bound and broken on the floor
Youre a little late, Im already torn
So silly. I love silly.
I remember when this song came out; I was probably 12 or 13. I was covetous, covetous of her haircut.

“ Here’s my attitude since you asked: women get scared and lonely, have needs, issues, feel abandoned and stuff. Daddy and so on. So be nice to em, give em a hug, tell em it’s okay, cheer em up. Sure, fuck with their minds a little—they like it—but then later on give em a nice back massage.
George Gurley, New York Observer
