...result was Into the Sun, a polished albumful of tunes that doesn't suffer from overproduction or banality. Tracks range from a jazzy instrumental ("Photosynthesis"), swooning vocals cum lethargic guitar slosh ("Spaceship") and a toned-down big band Wild West chronicle ("Part One of the Cowboy Trilogy"), all mixed up with love songs galore. Many guests play on the record with Cibo Matto's Yuka Honda, Sean's partner, figuring in significantly on most of Into the Sun's material. She is the emotional, reflective centerpiece, an instrumentalist and the producer, contributing so much that the album should be accredited...
Then there are the House-sponsored Milk and Cookies nights. Blah, blah, blah. As a Group I senior once told Dartboard, his secret to doing well on finals was to study like mad in the days preceding and get drunk on the night before. He graduated summa. House-sponsored slosh-fests might bring our collective GPAs up a bit. What would ole' Harvey Mansfield say about that...
...atmospheric subtlety were much admired in their time but can hardly even be assessed now. For in pursuit of jewel-like effects and deep layering of color, Ryder painted "lean over fat," so that slower-drying strata of paint underneath pulled the quicker-drying surface apart. He would slosh abominable messes of varnish on the surface, and pile up the pigment by incessant retouching until the images became quaking pitch lakes...

It didn't sound like much to a man who was usually up or down more than that after an evening's play. Unofficial side games here routinely slosh with more money than the World Series itself. Hundred-dollar bills are banded in sheaves of 50; and sheaves are wadded in stacks of ten; and bets and raises hit the table hard, thud-thud-thud...
...memory says, like an old MG-TC or Porsche Speedster. Which is to say, cunningly tuned to bring a grin but not a police cruiser. This is true, more or less, of the Miata's performance. Steering is solid and very quick; cornering is flat, without sway or slosh; and straight-out acceleration (0 to 60 m.p.h. in 8.6 sec.) is brisk but not pavement scorching...
