Whenever I go to lunch break I always make a point to get a newspaper. It helps keep me informed of current events and helps the day go by a lot faster. Just takin' in knowledge of the outside world that'll give you perspective.

Fuck, sometimes a dude even looks at his horoscope.


I even pick up the weekly papers. Seattle Weekly is this shitty far left newspaper I'll read just to get an idea of dudes with those sort of leanings.

How about you, G-Stizzles?

Where do you gather your news from? What sites/blogs/papahs or whatever?

I must know.

    I need some good online papers to read, someone suggest some.

    At the moment all I read at work is our local Sydney online paper - www.smh.com.au. The opinion section and some of the blogs are an interesting read, particularly this one.

    Ugh, why the Sun? I don't even care about the bias, the quality of writing is just so poor.

    I always like to see how different "sides" view the news.

    I read The Independant and The Sun. I'll check the BBC website and Digitalspy. I tend to watch the ITV evening news. I'll also check the Daily mail to see who they are pissed off at this month, this month it is the BBC.

    I read a few news sites to stay on top of shit.

    Then I read some to look at rude celebrity titties!

    Once a week I buy a French newspaper that is translated into Norwegian. It is called Le Monde Diplomatique and it has very good analyses of a very wide range of subjects. A few months ago the main story was about how in these days it is not the artwork as such that makes the artist popular, but rather his network. Basically, the main point was that you can't really criticise a shitty artwork if it sold for a billion pounds sterling. The price alone is enough to justify its existence and the traditional values of the art world can go fuck themselves. It's about the buyer, not the learned expert - which is why shit like two basket balls in an aquarium or a gold statue of Kate Moss is hot shit these days.

    There's a pretty good newspaper/magazine in Monterey. I read it sometimes. It has...interesting personals. One was something around the lines of "MAN LOOKING FOR FEMALE FOR SPANKING. DO NOT CARE ABOUT AGE, RACE, ETC. YOU HAVE BEEN BAD AND I WILL SPANK YOU"

    I know! It's such a weird thing to say to people, and I've been looking for a regular job at a bookstore or something to help during the times when there aren't shows. I could talk about that instead

    But the reviews were neat
    A lyric baritone of uncommon warmth and ability to float a shapely line, James [FIZZALUMPAGUS] succeeds in making the fey and often obtuse Maximillian a likeable guy. This well-matched, attractive lead quartet would make any company proud and surely is a sign of professional maturity for San Diego’s second opera company.
    [GIRL] mastered the odd accent of The Old Lady, [OTHER GIRL] was a saucy Paquette, and James [FIZZALUMPAGUS] was amusing as the Fabio-like narcissist Maximilian, particularly when his character was in drag.

    No, believe it or not, that shit is legitimate old school critical art with references to one of the great masters (and pioneers of tentacle rape) Hokusai. Not that I particularly enjoy looking at it very much though.

    there may have been a photo of me and a few friends in a crappy smalltown local paper not too far away

    we were just at the shitty local bar where this other friend had somehow got booked to dj
    and someone from the paper came and took photos and asked for our names to put in print

    i think she was interested in us because we were the only people who were not white
