duh... a dictionary. :) thanks.
i looked in mine now... it says what your
says, but it also says stuff about Don
Quixote, too, and a second definition of
"marked by rash lofty romantic ideas or
extravagantly chivalrous action" (ie- Don
Quixotesque)...
since i don't think "kid a" was too
"idealistic" of an album (at least in the
mainstream way of idealistic-ness), i'd
say that perhaps "rash loftiness" meaning
might fit... who knows?
concepts of crack smoking & rolling stone
magazine reviewers go hand-in-hand.

oblig. sidenote: anybody see cast away? i
saw it last night. it was good. i'd
recommend it. i think there are perhaps
better movies out there this year, but
it'll probably still win the oscar, due
to the tom hanks quotient. good movie
nonetheless. it's amazing how for about
an hour of it, there is only one actor
and no music and no serious dialogue. it
still works. plus, creating a character
out of a volleyball that the audience
begins to relate to... well, i was
impressed with that, too.
thoughts?
doingity-doing,
