Tuesday, May 03, 2005 Assorted Bits The Time Traveler Convention. Well, they say they only need one convention since everyone will just time travel to that particular date. But how can you go to a convention more than once? Won't there be some sort of paradox about meeting yourself? And what if no one shows up? Does that mean that the announcement for the convention never survives into the future? Judge A Book...By Its Cover. Some guy's collection of old cheap-o novels with weird covers he found at rummage sales. Are You A Republican? (via a couple of places) I had mixed feelings about doing a political quiz, but what the heck. I got 2%. And yes, that 2% bothers me. The other day, I was reading the lyrics to an album that was labeled with one of those warnings about explicit contents and I was wondering, what's really so bad about it anyway? Sure, there were Bad Words (about three in the entire album) and the songs weren't advocating violence or anything. Compared to some other stuff, it's like a Disney musical. I think those sorts of labels are rather ridiculous and fail to convey that music comes in a continuum and not nice little packages. One bad word will not make the listener go out on a rampage. However, if you were listening to the stuff my neighbor plays--you'd rather pour acid in your ear than listen to another stream of cuss words. [posted by S. Y. Affolee on 8:17 AM : ]
