Please feel dree to get stuffed. / How does one contact Dree?

That quote almost caused me to laugh REALLY loudly during Digital Arts last spring. I must have looked odd, cos I was trying to not laugh but was shaking as one does when one's trying not to laugh. I guess you had to be there. It was a mind-numbingly boring class... it just hit me really funny. I must have been having a really slow day... Here's the quote in full:

Dear Ruediger,

How does one contact Dree?

Ooh, I went out today - a bookstore. I know, it's amazing, I actually went out of the house. Not before having a small panic attack, of course, because it would probably upset the laws of the universe if I should actually do something *normal*. Speaking of the laws of the universe, I got The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, have started reading it, and am really enjoying it. As if I weren't geeky *enough* just being a Doctor Who fan. ;) You know, I could go on about the Douglas Adams/Who connection, but I'm not going to. Well, I'm not going to for very long. He was the script editor for Season 17, which gave us that gem, City of Death, written by Adams and, I think, Who legend Robert Holmes. I might be wrong, but I don't have my programme guide handy, and I've just really made myself out to look like a sad, sad fan by admitting that I have a programme guide. Anyways, he also wrote The Pirate Planet (never really liked that one much, actually...) and SHADA (you have to say it like that, too, or else it loses some of the... um... well, I was gonna say "coolness" but that might not be the right word) - the great story that never was. Long story short, it was never completed due to a strike at the BBC, and what was filmed was released on video in the early 90s with linking bits by Tom Baker. Fun stuff.

So... hmm, there was no real point to all of that. Sorry.

I changed the layout at my old, dead Josh Groban site so that I don't have to update it again for a long time. I came to the realization, some time ago, that most of his music was treacly doots that attempted to be classical but it comes off as an irritating hybrid of easy listening and new age. I did like the one that sounded vaguely Irish - it even had uillean pipes in there somewhere, I think... Anyways, I liked it for a while, enough to make a site about it, but I think part of the reason why I "liked" the music and even made a site about it was that I was starting to really go downhill with my previous obsession and needed something to concentrate on, no matter how doots it was. I lost interest in both the site and the Josh and put a notice on the site a long while ago that I'm no longer updating it. Apparently there are really, really thick people who just don't get it and insist on emailing me to ask silly questions. I love it when I get questions that I specifically answer on the site. That's fun.

Anyways, my point is that I'm no longer updating the site, but people still visit it, so I've left it online. (I do hope I'm not offending the people who still visit it by, er, insulting them.) When I stopped updating it however long ago it was now, I was happy with the layout, but recently I felt that it had become a blight on lunaestas.com's good (made-up) name. It was pig doots. So, I've come up with a new layout that I'm happy with, because even though I don't care that much about the site, I still want it to look nice. Hmm, that was rather long-winded, wasn't it? If you want to, take a look at the site, but I beg of you - do NOT ask me for lyrics. Are people really so thick that they can't just search for the lyrics on Google? That's where I got the lyrics that *are* on the site.

Ah, I must have a little rant right about now, because I just remembered that I was going to rant a bit. I was checking to see if the links to other Josh sites on my link list were still up (quite a few are gone or haven't been updated for a few years), and I looked a bit at one of the sites that was still up. It had a poll asking "Who will you vote for?" and dagnabbit, it looks like a lot of Josh fans are Bush supporters. There were comments too, on the poll (some polls allow commenting, cool feature) - dumb, brainwashed comments... It scares me how (and let me be frank here) stupid, fanatic, and GULLIBLE people can be. One must only listen (if you can even stand to) to the guy, look at him slouch, watch him walk like he's either in a bad Western or just drying his deodorant, to know the fear that one can only feel when they realize that our country is being run by a total goober. A rather insane goober.

And he choked on a pretzel.

Cheery bye, Scarlett
