Well, they’re a bit late, as I’ll be in London by 1pm on Thursday, but at least there’s positive progress:
England to ban smoking where food is served
Mayor Livingstone wants to go all the way and ban smoking in all workplaces, with a few exceptions. Smoking in cabs is already banned.
Great job, guys! We’re well on our way to burying the legacy of Raleigh. I look forward to enjoying a smoke-free meal the next time I visit.
I’m no InPassing, but I was in the Metreon the other day when I heard a girl yell out this gem:
“No! I refuse to go to Starbuck’s! I don’t have anything to throw!”
Man oh man, was that show ever awesome! I saw Death Cab tonight at the Fillmore in SF. [UPDATE: It was the Warfield.] They were touring with Pretty Girls Make Graves, who I didn’t know much about. Jason sent me a link to some MP3s before the show, which I enjoyed. But I still wasn’t sure what I was in for.
PGMG was quite good. I particularly liked their drummer. The drumming in any given song was not what I was be expecting, and it was really complex. The guitarist was awesome too. Sadly, I didn’t get a PGMG CD. :-(

I did my civic duty today. Sadly, though, 54 million (and counting) Republicans don’t seem to have done theirs. I can’t really believe we’ve got much of a chance, but I’m trying not to be too depressed.
But, still: fucking damn.
By popular demand (read: enough with the guilt trips!), I’ve updated my Song of the Week page.
Sorry for the delay. I’ve been otherwise occupied. ;-)
