Carl (the younger one) was especially taken by an older gentleman walking around dressed like a king.  Carl finally walked up to him and asked him where he got his costume.  The guy simply said “a friend made it for me”.  I myself ended up trading a golden acorn and my old pirate outfit to Carl for a laptop he made out of a shoebox.  This shoebox laptop included a screen drawing of a scorpion and a monkey driving a red car.</p>http://www.malbatron.com/post/56503870http://www.malbatron.com/post/56503870Sun, 26 Oct 2008 20:06:00 -0700<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash"

detainees in Guantanamo are being handled.  It’s something I find myself thinking about regularly and it weighs on my conscience as an American.  Once it’s all said and done, I think it will easily go down as one of the ugliest chapters of America history that I’ve lived through, and I feel sick about it.  Closing that place can’t happen soon enough…it’s been open for almost seven years…  <a

song when I played it for him in his little garage studio.  I was just going over some songs I had and he wanted to mess with this one.  So he added a guitar track to it and emailed it to me.  This was a couple of years ago and I had almost forgotten I had this copy, until I saw it in my email while I was looking for something else.  I like how he gave the stars some voice with his guitar.  Anyway, here it is, sort of in preparation for some more writing I’m hoping to do very soon (and posting!)</p>http://www.malbatron.com/post/54013202http://www.malbatron.com/post/54013202Fri, 10 Oct
