So sleepy. Threw our first Austin party last night; didn’t get a whole lot of sleep. I certainly hope a good time was had by all, because I sure as heck did.

Oh, and I haven’t posted much of anything for a while because, among other things, I’ve been fooling around with a redesign for zzanginc.com. It’s sort of a work in progress, but that’s fine since we’re not really looking too hard for new freelance clients right now.

This is the coolest online toy I’ve seen in a long time.

First of all, I’m feeling relaxed here at home after our return last night from really cool, if too-brief, trip to Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. Thanks a million to Diana and Kristy, and everybody we met or hung out with, for everything.

Now, I just can’t contain my glee that that bastard Chris Danze (from my last post) is getting a little of what he deserves… last night I turned on the news and I found that supporters of Planned Parenthood, or just supporters of the contractors who Chris Danze screwed, have taken to calling and protesting in front of his house. I still hate these tactics, but I think in Mr. Danze’s case, turnabout is fair play.

…is Mr. Chris Danze, who recently brought construction to a halt on a Planned Parenthood clinic here in Austin by pressuring contractors to give up the project because the clinic would provide abortions.

If you think he did it by convincing the contractors with carefully reasoned arguments and an honest, straightforward approach, think again.

The son of a bitch did it by circulating their home phone numbers to anti-abortion zealots around the nation. People from every state bombarded these contractors with phone calls (one of them got over 1,000 calls), plus faxes and letters containing aborted fetus pictures.

Mr. Danze? If you have time to organize this kind of large-scale invasion of privacy and harassment, I think you’re probably not spending enough time at home with the 15 kids you’ve adopted. What?!? Well, how many adopted children do you have?

Yeah, I thought so. Bastard.

I strongly suspect your God would concede to me that unwanted children are better off with Him, Mr. Danze. I also suspect that He disdains your cheap Mafioso tactics.

From Cannibal hopes his memoirs will deter others, the Independent Online:

He is also accused of ‘disturbing the peace of the dead’ for butchering the corpse. Technically, cannibalism itself is not illegal under German law.

So, if you’re in Germany, and you find a corpse, and it’s already butchered, dig in!

Well, as a result of last night’s terrific show (see yesterday’s post), I’ve remembered once again that music is of the moment… it’s not worth it waiting around for some old thing to come back together; it’s about what’s happening right now. So, despite this recent post:

…my boundless urge to tinker with websites has resulted in a Lazy Fingers site redesign… Now that the band has a new site, I’m hoping it serves as an incentive for me to get my ass in gear and actually book some gigs again.

…I’ve actually decided to take that site down entirely and start focusing on what’s next…
