From The Onion AV interview intro with what’s-his-name from the smashing pumpkins…
“In addition to his sonic surprises, Corgan has been shocking fans and rubberneckers alike with the vitriol he’s aimed at his former Zwan bandmates in recent interviews, as well as his highly personal online-journal entries, including a post that blamed the Pumpkins’ breakup on band member James Iha. Chicagoans were also probably a bit surprised in 2004 when Corgan became WXRT-FM’s “Cubs Correspondent,” though anyone who caught him screaming “Let’s get some runs!” during game seven of the 2003 NLCS knew how much he cared about the team. Corgan threw another curveball with 2004’s bestselling poetry collection Blinking With Fists, but he saved his biggest bombshell for last week: A full-page ad in The Chicago Tribune announced that Corgan has “made plans to renew and revive The Smashing Pumpkins. I want my band back, and my songs, and my dreams.”"

Not those types. Got the old Mambo postings imported fairly painlessly into WP, but I think the jump to autoupdate to LJ on top of that is proving too much for the brute computer strength-stuffs and my tiny brain at 1am. I got the eyebrow threading post to sync somehow but it was effortful and not worth it for reposting up about, oh, 20 entries. So if you want to read more from before, you should just go to the main ploofle site instead. That’s good enough for me.

Random idea – Bush says that part of war is to prevent terrorism from spreading and to promote democracy, hence presence in Iraq. News commentators say that American presence in Iraq has actually increased terrorism in Iraq as there are so many Americans to target. Is it possible that the war is a decoy kinda ploy to get terrorists to focus on attacking the easy targets in Iraq, rather than trying to get to the U.S. and attack relatively defenseless citizens? That troops are cannon fodder to prevent them from coming over here? If it was my relative/child/SO/etc out there, I would be rather pissed if that were the case…

Not sure if this falls under ‘neat things’ but it definitely doesn’t fall under ‘projects in progress’ 
I’ve wondered what eyebrow threading involved, as my freshman year
Indian roommate would have it down for shaping her eyebrows, and then
an email on the intlhouse list came up, and I finally googled it.
It seems pretty interesting, and I’ve llinked to the thingies I read
about it:
Random singaporean threading
Wiki definition – also has a picture! which looks rather intimidating…
Feel free to educate me more than this if you know more
