The One Entry I'm Adding Things To As The Day Drags On
Last full day at the temp assignment, so I'll be staying late tonight. Until they kick me out/the backup starts, most likely. Because yes, I intend to take them for all they're worth. You got a problem with that?
Because of my pagan work ethic, I'm also going to give them their money's worth, so less blogging, more data entry. Rather than full entries, I'll just toss stuff in here.
First stuff: DPH ZEROFOUR: statements for 2004: Reginald Hudlin, writer/director:
Here are my wishes for the year to come:Instead of yet another Tupac album, the music industry digs in the vaults and releases unheard music from Sly Stone and Stevie Wonder.
American filmmakers produce films as good as BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM, WHALE RIDER, 28 DAYS LATER, DIRTY PRETTY THINGS, CITY OF GOD, LOVE ACTUALLY and the LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy.
Saw WHALE RIDER at the video store the other day, but the DVD with all the extras was out. Definitely worth the rental, if you've not seen it.
Second stuff: Epitonic.com:
Epitonic.com is a site for sore ears. We are a campaign - a group of individuals who share a zealous lust for music - music that invades our thoughts, music that propels our bodies - music that allows us to revel in passion and pleasure. We refuse to dilute the energy that constitutes our lives - this seamless integration with the pulsing of sounds and shrill notes sailing wildly through nightclubs and concert halls across the globe. Instead we've elected to thrust ourselves into this sea of binary manna - information which helps us sustain our ravenous appetite for music - the Internet.
Short version: free mp3s of Good Music. The sort you might not hear on the radio, I'm afraid.
Ok, list format. Descriptions optional.
- Emily the Strange
- Bookslut review of Inga Muscio's Cunt: A Declaration of Independence
- Inga Muncio's site (previously linked, but worth a fresh look)
- A deeper look into racism
Ruthie Welch, 13, had read about racism, but she was still shocked after hearing first-person accounts. She interviewed Nathaniel Banks, an assistant dean of students for minority student affairs at the University of Illinois and a Project 500 participant. Banks told stories of walking along a street with a cousin and being stopped by policemen.
"They were just walking through a white neighborhood and they were going to be arrested," said Welch, still with a look of disbelief, days after the interview.
