This is bella. I'm not sure any more need be said. The primary purpose of the internets: sending pictures of pets in bumble-bee costumes:

so on the flight from nyc to geneva i watched 'mary and max'. it's a claymation movie that is one of the best movies i've seen in ages. beautiful and funny and emotional and great.

i assumed it had been released recently and somehow i hadn't heard about it. but it turns out it was released in 1999. am i just ignorant? how is it that i'd never heard of this amazing movie? i rarely recommend movies, but 'mary and max' is amazing, and whoever owns it should re-release it as far and wide as possible.

i even looked it up on rotten tomatoes and it had a 96% positive rating from hundreds of reviewers. ok, go watch it, please.

thanks

ok, republicans won governorship in virginia and new jersey. bummer. but not the end of the world.

the real comedy is in new yorks 23rd district, a district that has been republican for over 100 years. everybody was supporting the conservative (read: lunatic right wing) candidate, doug hoffman. rush limbaugh, sarah palin, fred thompson, sean hannity, glen beck supported him, and republicans spent millions of dollars on his candidacy.
rush limbaugh said this 2 days ago:

"When Hoffman wins the race there it will be dismissed as an outlier... Folks, I want you to print these words out. I want you to get the transcript off my website. I want you to print these out, I want you to distribute them, I want you to carry them with you, and we'll just see how close I am to being right when Hoffman wins." - Rush Limbaugh

so with all that money and the support of rush limbaugh and sarah palin, what happened? what happened in this district that has voted for a republican congressman for over 100 years? the democratic candidate won.

notice to republicans: following rush limbaugh and sarah palin isn't necessarily such a good idea if you actually want to win elections. ok, time to play a show in lausanne.

yes, sometimes i write about politics and weighty issues. and other times i feel it is incumbent upon me to draw attention to truly sublime works of art. like this song/video from 1977. arguably the finest music video(and song)ever made. i mean, why else was the internet invented if not to share videos from 1977 about animated american potatoes?

Just leaving calgary, headed to edmonton. Kelli and joe and kelli's dad and I have rented a car, so we're listening to johnny cash and talking about sturgeon. When I was 8 years old I was obsessed with sturgeon, and the fact that they were seemingly unchanged since the ye olden dinosaur times. And ceolocanths. Even though I don't remember how to spell ceolocanths. In general I think its pretty amazing that there are creatures who have been hanging around unchanged for 500 million years (or 6,000 years if you're a creationist).

Alligators, sturgeon, sharks, dragonflies, etc. And they all live in the us and a. Especially the alligators. 2 million wild alligators in florida and louissianna, eating dogs and golfers. I'm a bit alligator obsessed. America is the land of impending disaster. What other country routinely deals with: hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, 3 million alligators, lyme disease ridden ticks, lethal heat in the summer, lethal cold in the winter, poisonous snakes, and mudslides and fires? No wonder we're all insane.

To wit: I think there's a song on the radio called 'ragin' cajun'. And it looks like its starting to snow.

Bear Strolls Through Wisconsin Grocery Store

Hayward, WI  - Shoppers and clerks of a grocery store in Wisconsin got a bit of a scare this week when a 125-pound bear casually strolled up and down the isles.

The bear walked through the front door of the Marketplace Foods store on Thursday night in the town of Hayward.

Customers and staff were safely evacuated while the bear roamed the liquor store portion of the store for about an hour.

The animal eventually ended up in the beer cooler.

Authorities were able to tranquilize the bear. They monitored him overnight before releasing him back to the wild.

The store manager told WQOW, a local ABC News affiliate, that the bear caused no damage and the only sign he was there is a nose print on a glass door.

So here's the information for the unplugged show I'm doing in london.
Its a fairly small venue, and 1/2 the tickets were sold in the first hour. So if you'd like to go I suggest getting tickets pretty soon.
Thanks

so, as you know: two weeks ago i started working with the california partnership to end domestic violence to get california to re-instate funding to domestic violence programs in california. and it worked!

yesterday the state legislature voted in emergency session to reinstate all funding to domestic violence programs! and arnie said he'd sign the bill! we spent 2 weeks working really hard and talking to cnn and ap and fox news and cbs and npr, and apparently the media pressure had it's desired effect. very, very happy news, as now many shelters can stay open and continue to provide service to the victims of domestic violence.

so today we gave away a d&b remix of 'one time we lived'. and then it dawned on me that this might be a bit confusing, as most people haven't actually heard the original (as it's currently unreleased). so, to that end i've put up the original on the myspace music player thingy (facebook, etc, don't seem to have music players, which is kind of a shame, as people seem to like music). so if you'd like to hear the original version of the unreleased 'one time we lived' it's up on my myspace page. at some point we'll figure out how and when to release it. and i'll probably play it tonight in l.a if you want to bootleg it on your phone.
