So, supposedly a hurricane is supposed to strike a state near me and possibly make this weekend fairly wet. I am not particularly concerned and, unless you live at the beach, I invite you to not be concerned either. Then again, if my next post comes to you from underwater, perhaps I am just overconfident….

Why aren’t there more atheists in foxholes?
Here’s a funny clip from the Colbert Report where my choice for President of the United States talks about the phrase “There are no atheists in foxholes.” It combines several of my favorite things: Stephen Colbert, the days he wears cufflinks, and atheism. There is also a brief clip from his Green Screen challenge (he…
Oh, noooo
It is 6 on the last day of a 3 day weekend and I have accomplished nothing. (Well, I did laundry but it’s not folded, and I spent hours perusing the web to find the lucky victim poor soul very talented person who will hopefully make my site prettier). Ackk…. need more time!
For the record, my degree is in print journalism, not TV journalism…
So I’m watching the coverage of Hurricane Gustav on CNN. Why do the anchors keep acting surprised when the journalists actually in New Orleans (where the winds are currently 100+ MPH, I think) are unable to be heard?? Geeeez. “Bob, if you can hear me, go inside!” and my favorite “Hey, can you go outside…
Classifieds…
Free to good home, one MacBook. Answers to the name of “White Dog.” (No, not really, but I am writing this post in a valiant effort to not punt White Dog across the room. What is SO HARD about trying to change my desktop photo back to my picture of Blanche with my older nephew????)…
If it’s called Labor Day, why am I not at work?
Sooo, how are you? I am doing pretty well. It’s the first day of a glorious three day weekend. I left work at 1 PM yesterday and Gene and I went to a late lunch. Yum. Did I mention Gene is home? He arrived about 3 AM on Thursday. He’ll be going back sometime in…
Yeah, the summer’s gone but a lot goes on forever…
(well, OK, it was neigh onto 80 degrees today, so I guess it’s a stretch to say that summer’s GONE) (Oh, and the title of today’s post comes from Leonard Cohen’s song “I Can’t Forget” from his amazing album “I’m Your Man”) So where the hell did summer go??? Huh??? One minute it’s Memorial Day…
Daim candies…
So, I was cleaning out our prescription drug cupboard (cubbard? whatever) (wait, you don’t have that much space devoted to medication? really?) and found an unopened pristine bag of Daim Candies from IKEA in Metropolis South of Cheesecake City. And they expire on 9/1. Yep, sounds like I’ve got some eating to do. Mmmm. And…
Oh wow…
I am looking like the Payroll Clerk of the Year compared to whoever made THIS mistake! Thanks, Oklahoma!
And, a movie review or three
So! I have seen some movies of late. (Not including the movies I’ve watched on TV, which is a whole other topic). First, Gene and I saw Pineapple Express. Ehh. I enjoyed it but it was – as Cartman from South Park might say – hella violent. Very funny, but not as good as… Next,…
