It skips every once in a while, on clean CDs. No clicks or pops, just temporal displacement. It's kind of unsettling. I'm never sure whether it was the machine, or if I just lost a quarter second of time somehow. Maybe it really isn't broken, but the rest of the world on doesn't seem to skip, so I'm going with the CD explanation.
Celebrity is built on misplaced affection.
So long as people keep becoming smitten with people they've never spent any time with, there can be superstars. Tributes and stupid fucking awards. From an objective standpoint, it sounds like I am bitter about some particular talentless famous person. I fear celebrity, though. To be well known is to be unknown.
