Nothing more fun than mocking people you secretly feel superior to, right? Then let's take a look at some excerpts from the Official Enya Web site's message board. The subject? The eventual demise of the Irish singer / songwriter / ethereal goddess.
(In my defense, I've been known to listen to an Enya album. I have not yet been known to post on the Web about her though. Until today, I guess.)
But let's listen to the fans.
"Everybody,are waiting for the new album,(me too),but we dont know if this new album will be the last one(I hope not),but suppose this was the last one,what you do?? you will try to find another artist like her?? How many albuns she will make until stop making music??"
And then --
"Do not worry, I think we will be hearing music from Enya for a long time and I would say that she will be writing music for as long as she physcially and mentally able...but that is a scarry thought. You have heard this phrase in a very popular movie..."There is another"..."
And then --
"Sometimes I've thought about what it would be like if Enya had a daughter? Has anyone else ever been thinking about that? Just imagine... another ethereal girl with an angelic voice? Or a son? Can you imagine a handsome young man singing songs that would be classified in the genre of Enya? Sorry about my imagination... I actually don't even know if I wish or not that Enya would have children to continue her genre... I've just been thinking. As I said."
OK. It's gettin' scary. Or scarry, I should say.

Not Much Change in a Day
Still on page 402 of Mr. Potter and the Phoenix. Hopefully will make progress soon. I feel the irritation of my sister, thousands of miles away.

Blog Round-Up
Some pertinent passages from my favorite online journals. Make sure to visit them all.
Mr. Will writes the following on the Supreme Court's sodomy decision in Lawrence v. Texas:
"I can't say enough good things about this surprising decision -- a shock considering the conservative court that made it -- and it brings us one step closer to recognizing gay people as normal people, just like heterosexuals, whose sex lives aren't deemed deviant."
Mr. Simanoff, over at the Daily Dave, gives us this:
"Head pain. Massive migraine. Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow."
And a cool story about he and his complimentary spouse purchasing Apple computers.
Brad speaks for many:
"I love my new job and hate it with a passion, all at the same time.
"I love this new city but miss what I've left behind, all at the same time.
"The buzzword of the moment is "confliction." But it's better, I suppose, than apathy."
The ever-reliable George Harrison -- or someone who looks remarkably like him -- contributes his usual scintillating prose.
"Some things on my To Do list for this weekend:
- Thank You card for Betty
- Charge razor
- New shoelaces on DMs
- Work on that other song
- Find the referral to the wisdom tooth dentist"

The Supremes Rule
The Supreme Court, that is. The court today overturned a Texas sodomy law and a 1986 decision that said legalized prohibition of private sexual conduct was OK. In other words, the 13 states that prohibit sodomy between consenting adults don't have a leg to stand on.
One of those states is Florida. One of them is also Kansas, which has the distinction of being one of only four states that specifically criminalizes sodomy between people of the same gender.
I've long found sodomy laws repulsive. It's shameful they weren't thrown out years before this. But it's heartening to see something done. At least the S.O. and I are now assured that we won't be breaking any state laws anytime soon.
You can read the decision here. Some of the best commentary on the issue has come from Andrew Sullivan. Get his take here.
