13 suffer minor injuries in riot at girls prison in Florida
you have to wonder how much the prison guards are going to make selling copies of the surveillance video all over the internet.
ah, it’s good to see, though, that stripping can still cause a good riot. look for mention in the next chapter of my riot anthology.

when you get this virus, it locks your computer, deletes everything on your hard drives, sets the processor to explode and the cd drives in your computer to shoot the cds out at you.
that’d be cool though, right?
i’d have to say that broken social scene was my favorite show. all of the songs i wanted to hear with a great cast on stage. i think one of the guys standing to the side might have been nick mccabe but i’m not sure.
plus, check it out.
i met her at the end of the flaming lips set.

i’ll have more details later
i’m still trying to figure out how to explain this weekend so this will be a series of posts about Coachella.
