Posted on entry Heads up for Salam Pax fans. ::: September 18, 2003, 08:47 PM:
Salam Pax has one of the most unusual accents I've ever heard, but he said he lived outside of Iraq for years. The interview was pretty interesting. I only read his Weblog from time to time, but am tempted to go out and buy his Weblog in book form (to be printed shortly).

I'd argue that Barra is dead wrong about most of the
rest of the war. I remember going to Antietam and
seeing photos of all the bodies all over the road
near the fence. Completely appalling. War should
never be romanticized.

I watched about the first half of The Matrix on DVD,
and while the effects were impressive, I was
completely bored and went and watched my grass grow instead.

I like some amount of characterization and logic and I just didn't see it.

I'm also not really fond of movies/TV that boil down to be mostly about fighting. Ironically, that's what turned me off of Buffy for most of the last 7 years, but, in the end, I wound up liking Buffy DESPITE the fighting!

I concur - there IS a lot of Pennsylvania out there.
Speaking as a person who's probably driven across it more often than anyone else reading this blog over the last 28 years (unless there's a trucker on the list).

However, PA driving is at least kind of interesting. and, yes, challenging at times. I've also driven across Ohio many times and once you get into the Columbus area, it's deathly dull.

Non-of these states quite match the sheer-mind-numbingness of driving through North Carolina on 95. They built the road in such a way that all you see for about 200 miles are pine trees and signs for cheap cigarettes. *Oh the horror!*
