"the fact is always obvious much too late, but the most singular difference between happiness and joy is that happiness is a solid and joy is a liquid. mine started seeping through its container as early as the next morning ..."

a word is superfluous when ...

... it can be precisely defined, using a single, other word:

re·splen·dent
adj.
splendid or dazzling in appearance; brilliant.

splen·dif·er·ous
adj.
splendid

secondary respresentions of reality are far enough away, non? ;)

Radiohead North American Tour Slowly Taking Shape

as reported on Pitchfork today ...
Y'all better put up a chair for this one, folks. The paradox wrapped in an enigma with sprinkles of conundrum on top that is Radiohead has just announced-- er, make that vaguely alluded to-- a number of totally sketchy details surrounding their crazy-anticipated summer North American tour.

As Billboard recently reported, our beloved paranoia-rockers are "eyeing" several multiple-night stands in such New World metropolises as Montreal, Toronto, Philadelphia, and Chicago.
...
So no set dates, no itinerary, no venues, no opening acts--just four cities that may or may not receive multiple dosages of live Radiohead action. That should entertain your water-cooler cronies for at least 45 seconds.
...
For kicks, Thom Yorke offered up a cryptic quote to NME about the Mysterious New Record, which is in label limbo as Radiohead's contract with EMI has expired. Quoth Yorke, "I think it's a nutty situation to be in to have no definite release system."

"It's really liberating not to feel part of the record company structure. It should be an extremely positive place to be in but it's also an extremely strange situation to be in."

Positive and strange, got it.

Windows on a Mac ...

Apple Computer announced on Wednesday that it has released a public beta version of Boot Camp, software that allows Windows XP to run natively on Intel-based Macs.

Boot Camp, which will be included in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, will be previewed in August at Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference but is available for immediate download on Apple's Web site.

"Apple has no desire or plan to sell or support Windows, but many customers have expressed their interest to run Windows on Apple's superior hardware, now that we use Intel processors. We think Boot Camp makes the Mac even more appealing to Windows users considering making the switch," Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of worldwide product marketing, said in a statement.

After installation of Boot Camp is complete, Intel-based Mac users can regularly choose between running Mac OS or Windows XP each time they reboot their system.
