Drank four strong beers last night.

Going to the library today. (When I turn in my two books, I get "full library privileges." Woo hoo.)

Going to the J. Crew to look at stuff I can't afford.

Wife called to say she wore the new pink heart glass earings I bought her in Asheville but that now she needs a dress to match them. This will be our project when she visits in July.

Going to buy some beer and food.

Going to clean the apartment.

Going to bathe and groom the dog.

Oh, happy day.

gmku 06.06.2009 09:41 AM

I was playing a jazz record sort of medium loud just now, and had been a little worried that the old man working in the garden in back of the apartment would be bothered by it. Then it occured to me my glass patio door's not even open!

Of course, this is the same fucker who slams his door shut so hard that he can make the stylus jump on my turntable!

Everyneurotic 06.06.2009 11:16 AM

put on the yardbirds and blast it in his face.

gmku 06.06.2009 11:33 AM

Doin some blasting with Exile right now

Everyneurotic 06.06.2009 11:37 AM

i don't think it's as effective.

still good, i guess, it has more of a sinister effect.

gmku 06.06.2009 11:38 AM

Side One's fairly blasting. And evil. Though I think he won't really hear the lyrics I want him to hear, like "kissing cunt in Cannes..." etc.

gmku 06.06.2009 12:04 PM

I'm wearing a heather grey crew-neck no-pocket T-shirt (j. crew), tan garment-dyed jeans (j. crew), boat shoes (Sperry original brown topsiders) sans socks, and a black military-style watch (Timex).

gmku 06.06.2009 12:11 PM

I might have to go the leasing office. This guy keeps slamming his door. Damn.

Kuwa_Slayne 06.06.2009 03:19 PM

All of my neighbors are hot and they seem to have douchebag boyfriends.

These are actually my history notes

SOCIAL REVOLUTION

The Weimar republic did not change much- the same old elites continued to be dominant and the old divisions of class and religion continued through from the old days. Though the country was superficially different, it can be argued that not much actually changed under Weimar government. Instead people point to Nazi Germany as the place where revolution actually took place, as the Nazis put Volksgemeinschaft (a nation community built on national unity and greater equality) in place of old class, race, regional and religious divisions.

To what extent was there a revolution?

MARXIST VIEW
- there was no social revolution
- nazis were puppets of capitalists whose role was to uphold the existing capitalist system and defend it from economic crisis and communist revolution
- evidence: destruction of working class leftist parties, takeover of trade unions, massive profits for big business
- BUT to discredit this, you could argue that the nazis were not puppets, because they introduced their own four year plan which controlled and regulated the economy, clearly showing the nazis taking control of the economy for their own interests and not anyone elses

COUNTER REVOLUTIONARIES
- turner says no revolution, except for the way nazis turned the clock backwards in a revolution against new social trends
- evidence: emphasis on strengthening the role of peasants in german society, help for farmers, ideology "blood and soil", women staying in the home
-these views are challenged by..

DAHRENDORF AND SCHOENBAUM
- who say that nazis did not achieve a counter revolution. because of re-armament, nazis encouraged rapid growth of industry and modernised germany! they also destroyed the traditional loyalties to class, religion, region, family, paving the way for a social revolution
- evidence: growth of industry, return of women to work in factories, weakening of class structure, hitler youth weakening family values, etc.
- this 'interpreted reality'- if the germans believed that society was becoming better, this is evidence of a social revolution in attitudes and beliefs

SO YEAH THERE WAS A SOCIAL REVOLUTION?
- but it might not have been achieved because there was not time- nazis were only in power for 12 years, 6 of which were spent in war
- ideology emphaised 'volksgemeinschaft', a genuine desire to build a new society based on nationality over class, religion, wealth etc
- evidence: there is some evidence that can be intepreted as a weakening of class structure- workers did better, elites were weakened. youth were indoctrinated, attempts made to establish a new religion, crucial attempt to make race the key factor in german society ALL POINT to social revolution

BUT
it is generally agreed that nazis were better at destroying things than creating new things, implying no social revolution but more of a mix of counter revolution and marxist's interpretation of events

Danny Himself - Impressive stuff, except I would argue that the Nazis, from their inception, made great play on racial differences. It is correct though that for quite a while, the Nazis were very much anti-capitalist in quite a few ways (as Mussolini's fascists were initially too).

I disagree with this. Capitalists, Fascists, and Nazis are all the same to me.

MellySingsDoom 06.06.2009 04:06 PM

^^^^Sarram - yeah, that was the end result, for sure. From my (admittedly limited) understanding of history, I thought that the Nazis were initially more of a "worker's" party - albeit a pretty goddamn bigoted one. Am I wrong/right?

You are right, in the sense that the end result was projected, on purpose, on the labouring classes. The original intentions were generated by capitalist reform, a constant in an economical system based on contradiction.

^^^Ah, I getcha, that makes more sense to me now.

A man who desires no more from things than to understand them will more easily make peace with his soul.

oh ramsay macdonald why were you such a failure of a prime minister

gmku 06.07.2009 09:49 AM

He needed better grooming, for a start.

Satan 06.07.2009 09:56 AM

he'd need a goddamn weedwhacker for that stache

MellySingsDoom 06.07.2009 11:14 AM

I've just seen the Brit Prime Minister on TV doing some stage-managed nonsense as a "I'm not going to resign, fuck y'all" gambit. Jesus, he looks even more of a mentalist than me, and I see that he got booed at the D-Day commerative thingy in France yesterday. Heh heh heh heh heh.

demonrail666 06.07.2009 11:45 AM

I'd still take him over that test-tube baby Cameron.

I wouldn't bend over for either of them :D (mainly cos of my poor aching joints, ooh I'm a martyr to them).

Note to all sludge-doom etc bands: Could you please awfully kindly indicate, on your lovely double-vinyl releases, which speed I'm meant to play it at? Ive just spent the last 5 minutes pissing around with the new Fleshpress effort, only to end up with the sound of a castrated chipmunk bellowing away. Thank you kindly please.
