And me, in 2000

The French writer Stendhal wasn't famous when he was alive, but he sure looked forward to being it when he was dead. He said that he would look forward to "the souls that [he loves]" reading his works after 1900, when he would surely be dead. I think. Anyway, regardless of how accurate that is, I wrote on my paper: "et moi, en 2000." My brain's not quite right right now. But that's funny, isn't it? One of the little things that amuses me for no particular reason and to no particular end is the fact that 2000 just isn't important anymore!

Unfortunately, y2k.gov is gone. It was hilarious when it was still there: your tax dollars at work. For 2000. For forever. For history.

Not. That didn't happen. New topic.

To quote K-Ci and Will Smith: "We're gonna party like it's nineteen-.... HOLD UP, IT IS!" Yet that song still fuckin' lives. I know Ashish hears me. WILL 2K!!! rockin' the dancefloor better than the Clash rocked the casbah or whatever that is. Check that; I can't say that; I've never heard the Clash's "Rock the Casbah." Maybe in passing.

So goes it. So goes it!
