Be there. I might bring presents.
I have found, not conducive towards a work environment,
or rather I can't work while it's playing. In fact,
I have yet to find an acceptable environment in which
I can listen to it...not to say I don't appreciate it...
which explains why I've been downloading x-ray spex
all afternoon...or rather, I went from a mix from punk rawk to
obscure oldies from the 60s to pacifica radio to jazz and so called
ambient...now hip hop...
transcripts from cheney's interview on fox news which i did not watch and comments in caps:
Question: Mr. Vice President, how is Mr. Whittington?
Answer: Well, the good news is he's doing very well today. I talked to him yesterday after they discovered the heart problem, but it appears now to have been pretty well resolved and the reporting today is very good.
AS REPORTED, IT WAS A HEART ATTACK, NOT A HEART PROBLEM
Q: How did you feel when you heard about that?
A: Well, it's a great relief. But I won't be, obviously, totally at ease until he's home. He's going to be in the hospital, apparently, for a few more days, and the problem, obviously, is that there's always the possibility of complications in somebody who is 78-79 years old. But he's a great man, he's in great shape, good friend, and our thoughts and prayers go out to he and his family.
READ: HE'S OLD, HE'S GOING TO KICK OFF SOON, AND I'M NOT SORRY
Q: How long have you known him?
A: I first met him in Vail, Colorado, when I worked for Jerry Ford about 30 years ago, and it was the first time I'd ever hunted with him.
Q: Would you describe him as a close friend, friendly acquaintance, what?
A: No, an acquaintance.
ANSWER: HOW COULD ONE KNOW SOMEONE FOR 30 YEARS AND STILL CALL THEM AN AQUAINTANCE. I BELIEVE THE WORD IS "CRONY."
Still a useful word tho a bit antiquated these days, crony.
Best part is, I don't know how you shoot someone wearing bright orange while hunting. I lived in VT and NH. Or maybe I do understand, our national alert status is down to yellow. Perhaps it's wrong to shoot people wearing orange, but instead, we should shoot people wearing yellow...
Only a few people can carry that off...
and i need an abortion.
in addition, i need to know how to shoot quail.
Today I had an old client email me
(from circa almost 2 years ago)
asking me to do some work for her
so I had to dig up her file...which was fine,
especially since I found an old poem
I had forgotten...course this means
more work (provided I take it on)
and the next vacation
I take will be on 2009...
Vacation? What's that?
One I figure that out, I'm off to France.
Or somewhere...
bulemia is not a disorder but a blessing. Or rather, a clue.
on the death of Betty Friedan or Coretta Scott King for that matter, but I won't. Mostly bc to think of either requires more meditative and conteplative thought that I would express more privately. However, to juxtapose those current events, cultural icons who have most recently died versus this:
Super Bowl will be a giant game of overeating
Robin McKie, science editor
Sunday February 5, 2006
The Observer
So who ate all the snacks? Even by their gargantuan standards of over-indulgence, couch potato Americans are preparing to outdo themselves during today's Super Bowl, the sporting highlight of the country's year. They will guzzle their way through truckloads of crisps, peanuts, pretzels, popcorn, nachos, pizza, olives, biscuits, cheese and anything else they can find in the fridge. Britons may drink themselves silly during big games - Americans stuff themselves stupid.
Most (but not all) americans are stupid.
Most (but not all) americans are as dumb as rocks.
Stand at a bus stop or subway stop with a stranger and ask them a few questions.
Few would have ever read ``The Feminine Mystique'' or a speech by MLK,
but ask their opinion about the NFL and I'm sure they have not one
but many football favorites.
It's not sports that are an american past-time, it's stupidity.
And most excel at that more than others.
I like to watch fox news for the ticker tape headlines
(tho actually I don't like to watch it at all and can only watch for 2 min tops),
and there was talk about securing the super bowl in case terrorists attacked.
Tell me that's not stupid.
If you can honestly justify that with a straight face I commend you.
Go gorge on yourself. Eat yourself up. I dare you.
