And Moscow girls make me sing and shout

My admiration for microsoft is much like the old Russian widows reminiscing of Stalinist Russia. I mean sure Microsofts Iron grip on operating systems paralleled that of Stalin's reign in much more ways than I feel comfortable describing. But for all of Microsoft's purging and shady coercion, they had their "5 year" plans and turned there system into an accessible and capable system much like Stalin turned Russia into an industrialized nation. My purchasing an I-Pod is much like the Russians purchasing levis jeans as the whole communism thing started to fall apart, sure it's a betrayal but come on how could I not? it's not the same motherland I suffered for.

In other news I am in love with Feist, both as a musician and a woman, she isn't Hollywood pretty, but she's reality pretty, and I'm not a prize pony myself. I could see myself helping the kids out of their coats... but wait the babies haven't been born. Her music is both hip and innovative and her voice is haunting and sublime, wowee zowee.
