I am sick. No, I mean literally this time. Physically. I get bronchitis fairly regularly, but this is beyond what I usually get. Everything hurts. My eyeballs, my joints, my muscles, my tendons, my eyelids, my elbows, my knees, my scalp, my throat, and my chest. That is just the short list. So, for today’s… Continue Reading
All About Alan
So, just two days after I lifted my self-imposed political ban, I love nothing. Now, is there a correlation? Probably. To that end, here is the love song of the day. It’s All Out of Love by Air Supply–a particularly apt song for my mood, I think, if you take the title words literally. Hm. … Continue Reading
Bite Me.
Ok. I am done with my self-imposed ban on politics, and today, I have plunged back into the world of lefty blogs and lefty shows. Now, I have to warn you that I am pretty dang sick, which means I’m grumpier than usual. The light hurts my eyes, and the water from my bath hurts my… Continue Reading
There’s No Business Like Show Business
Ed. note: I had to remove the last two videos because the user removed them on YouTube. Ok. I am Day Four into my personal politics-free zone, and I am doing surprisingly ok. I glance at the headlines just to see how much filibustering the Republicans are doing, and then I just shrug and go… Continue Reading
What Goes In, MUST Go Out.
As I wrote yesterday, I love food. Food, however, does not reciprocate this warm, squishy feeling. First, the song of the day is from a local New Wave group of the ’80s, the Suburbs. It is called Love is the Law, and if you’re not groovin’, you’re losing! What do I love today? I love… Continue Reading
Food, Glorious Food
I love food. I’m not mincing words. We have a hardcore love affair going on, only limited by my allergies and my stomach capacity. First, the video for the day: Wet Wet Wet’s Love is All Around. Substitute food for love, and well, you see where I’m going with this. Back to food. My friend,… Continue Reading
Politics-Free Four-Day Weekend!
For four days, I am resolving to not post about politics. I am not going to read any lefty blogs or newspapers. In fact, after I watch Keith and Rachel tonight, I will banish politics from my mind until Tuesday, February 10th. Why am I doing this? Because I am getting mad, frustrated, depressed, and,… Continue Reading
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix–After You See It
9:46 p.m. 7/21/07 So. On the day the final Harry Potter book is released, I am dodging any mention of it because I want to not know any spoilers before reading it. Too late as one article in the Strib online puts a spoiler in the teaser. People, please. Do me (and others like… Continue Reading
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire–After You See It
9:44 p.m. 4/22/06 Harry Potter fans, we have a burgeoning dilemma on our hands. It started, well, really, right from the start, but more so with the latest movie, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. What’s the dilemma? It is this. J.K. Rowling seems determined to write the next War and Peace, increasing… Continue Reading
CEOs Are Greedy! What a Shock!
All right. Greed is the topic of the day, but before I get to CEOs, let me follow up on yesterday’s post. SMR pointed out that the mother of the octuplets is wangling to get $2 M to go on Oprah because of her (mother’s) super-awesome birthing capabilities. I didn’t want to believe it, so… Continue Reading
