People in IT jobs are used to whoring, anyways...
'If you don't take a job as a prostitute, we can stop your benefits'.
No really, I'm not kidding.
Under Germany's welfare reforms, any woman under 55 who has been out of work for more than a year can be forced to take an available job – including in the sex industry – or lose her unemployment benefit. Last month German unemployment rose for the 11th consecutive month to 4.5 million, taking the number out of work to its highest since reunification in 1990.
Gah, wait till shubya gets wind of this. Well all be taking it up the arse for Halliburton. Oh wait, I think we are anyways.

You know it's really wierd how you organize thing's mentally. Like in the last 24 hours I have had contact (verbal+internet+voicemail tag) with all of the former members of
borghal rantipole except George Blalock...only I don't consciously think about it that way. In any event, I'm (barring weather catastrophe) recording my Blots bandmate (Eric Cook)and

thank you, space man. We're going to do a marathon recording session. It's just guitar and drums, and their both easy to work with. If you look for TYSM on the int3rweb you will find

eskimo kiss records -- lookwell, citified...Greensboro's Finest!. I received the two CDs from Kim yesterday. I am really enjoying the
Lookwell EP (Unhurried) as well as
Citified's eponymous mini-record. The Citified clocks in at just over 18 minutes. Which is not odd for a short-play rekkid. But it's 9 songs! I have a fondness for short songs. The two disks are related in that
Unhurried was the last Lookwell disk. Last as in final. However, out of the ashes, (as
they say) Chris Jackson (vocals/guitar) has formed
Citified. Jackson has an airy quality about both his vocals and guitar work. The work was recorded by
Jerry Kee's Duck-Kee studio (Superchunk, Mendoza Line, $2 Pistols...etc). I only got to see Lookwell, once in September of 2002. I hope I get a shot at Citified, and that I don't have to travel across the state to do it.

Amber Alert Update. Sad. Parents were running a meth lab.
from Charlotte.com:
The sheriff's office has been looking for Canter since March 6, when authorities raided the couple's home in a remote northern corner of Watauga County and discovered a methamphetamine lab.
Chambers was charged with manufacturing meth and maintaining a dwelling for the manufacture of meth. Deputies took out warrants for the same crimes against Canter, who wasn't at the home.
But the warrants remain unserved, and the cases against both are still pending. Chambers bonded out of jail about two months after her arrest, Shook said. As far as authorities know, the couple has been shuffling from place to place ever since, with Canter managing to elude the law.
After the raid, the Watauga County Department of Social Services took custody of the children, Shook said.
And...
Let's hope this doesn't turn into another Eric Rudolph thing with them evading the Po-lice for 5 years. Mainly because the kids welfare. I'm not usually down on non-violent drug offenders. But
the meth heads are really effin' up things. Basically any motel you have ever stayed in has been used as a lab. This means, I could be traveling with my kid, staying in a motel... and they can blow up the room right next to mine and burn us all up.
Or damage everyone in the place with the harmful materials they eff around with. I mean think about it, these are probably not people that majored in chemistry at MIT.

Want to know who is doing what in the House or Senate? Key in a person, or your address and it'll find your reps. What to know the status of legislation in either house? If you don't know the HR# you can just type in a keyword, like say..."marriage." Decide whether you want House/Senate or both. (I chose Senate).
