Runaway World : How Globalization is Reshaping Our Lives (Apr 30 2003 23:30 GMT) - You know, rebutting Stan Kurtz is starting to feel a little like debunking astrology.

Barbecue Sauce (Apr 30 2003 23:29 GMT) - I just received an email from a musician-friend-frat-brother about a casting call for a Chili's commercial. (You know the song... I want my baby-back-baby-back-baby-back etc.) They're looking for musicians to be in ads like the ones they've been showing on TV for the past few months. I can probably come up with a clever angle if I spend some time on the train thinking about it... |
