Back to school today. Bunch of arse. If I was rich enough, I'd just bugger off somewhere, write music and draw pictures. Although that wouldn't bring in the bananures.

New tune here (mp3 - apologies to those still stuck with dialup), strange time signature but nice gravel/tin tray noise. Have dumped tune with Charles Bronson sample on mp3.com so it may appear in a few days...so I don't get done by my own webhosts, the very nice people at Averdata.

As for Syria - well, is there going to be a nice US-'friendly' buffer zone for Israel? No good will come of it. Isn't the US harbouring Timothy McVeigh in prison somewhere? Isn't he a terrorist? Or am I going too far? Not as far as going to Damascus. Is the US government actually genuinely paranoid, or is it making its citizens paranoid so that they endorse whatever imperialist move Mr Bush is making this week? The unfortunate thing is, when America gets attacked again (which would be no surprise), nobody will be asking why - instead they will be saying 'well, what did you expect?' Doom doom doom.

I daresay once the Iraqis stop their orgy of looting and get round to rebuilding their wrecked country, they'll find it's been sold to large American corporations. At least my particular large American corporation has no designs on Iraq. As far as I know. No need for photocopiers in Iraq. Although I guess the CIA could do with a document management system to deal with all the information they've found about Iraq's nuclear/chemical/biological capability. They did find some, didn't they? Surely.
