Sophie Says Sooth (2002.10.28): "Welcome to the club. It's been suggested by more than one person (just this week) that I, too, am a sociopath. In my case I'm not sure I buy it, but since you've got a professional diagnosis, let's concentrate for a moment on your problem."
Sophie Says Sooth (2002.10.21): "Just think of the possible results rendered by a successful mass communication PR campaign, or the effect of several strategically timed press releases. This country and the world at large might well find themselves no longer viewing the serial killer as a depraved monster but instead as a slightly eccentric man with strange hobbies."
Matriculation Reloaded (2002.10.20): "Bad things come in threes, says the theory, which means there's one more shoe waiting to drop on my car. Shoe #2 fell on Monday, when my fuel pump decided enough was enough and it wasn't going to continue working without a wage hike and an increase in benefits. Also, the fuel filter, a tierod and a couple wheel studs. Total cost: $692."
Juliana Hatfield / Gold Stars 1992-2002: "As interesting and important as it is, though, I never would have bought it had I not found a copy for $10 at a used record store called Nuggets in Boston. I have all of Juliana's solo records, which means I have all the would-be hits including here."
Transmetropolitan: Back on the Street: "Spider Jerusalem, despite generally coming off as a PCP-addicted version of Daffy Duck, is a very deep character in terms of moral core and values. Such is the case when Spider lashes out at the womanizing leader of the Transient community regarding his abuse of authority over the Transients and his habit of knocking up his female followers."
Kay Hanley / Cherry Marmalade: "When the tenth track, 'Galapagos,' came on, I nearly tuned the road out entirely. It's one of those tracks that comes by once every few years, saying exactly what your inner siren is trying to express at exactly the right time; for me, the last one was Juliana's 'Choose Drugs' in the spring of 2000."
San Diego Comic-con 2002: Part 1: "A lot of it sounded like standard conspiracy theory bullshit; I would like to believe him about the income taxes, though. Apparently it has something to do with the improper ratification of the 16th Amendment and taxing our privilege of earning money."
