I’ve just taken two tablespoons of Nyquil so there’s no telling how far I’ll get into this post before my hands feel tingly and I’ll need to retire. All day I’ve felt what my mom would call the creeping crud. First it was my throat, growing more raw every time I would swallow. Then my eyeballs started to feel sick, if that makes any sense. And the sinuses. Oh, the sinuses. I’m always sniffling and…
So my sister tells me she’s getting married for sure. Still don’t know when — not even a month or a season in mind yet — but it’s happening and I’ve offered to design the invitations. Because I certainly can’t offer to make a cake. But she says it’s not going to be a big, white, flowery deal since it’s her second marriage and his second or third (I’m not sure, actually). This is good…
I owe you a phone call. Please accept this photo as a down payment. It seems that my cell phone has had a stroke. I’m reasonably sure it’s related to the countless times I’ve dropped it on the asphalt while getting into or out of my car. When I squeeze it, my service bars fill up. Squeeze it again, and they disappear. Repeat and they vary in number. Hmm. +++It’s 2:39 + I’m not sleepy…
I don’t know what they were thinking, but these 11 assholes voted against the $51 billion aid package for Katrina victims. Republicans, every single one of them. So far I’ve heard two explanations for their nays: 1. The Louisiana and New Orleans governments are far too corrupt to be trusted with this much money. 2. This handout will go willy-nilly to organizations and businesses and firms with no accountability for how they are spending it.…
In the news: Ahhnold will veto Collie-fawn-yuh’s same-sex marriage bill. Oh yes, and the Massachusetts attorney general wants a ballot initiative that will let voters decide whether they want their state to continue to allow same-sex marriage. So, around and around we go … This worm turns its host into a zombie briefly before busting out of its innards. Slate’s Jacob Weisburg explains what Kanye West meant when he blurted “George Bush doesn’t care about…
We’ve got him for the night, just to see if he fits. He’s big. You can’t really tell from the photo. So far he knows where to use the bathroom and where to eat, but he prefers to spend his time perched up high so he can monitor the ferrets’ every move. When they come close, he hisses. Not sure how that’s going to work out, but so far he hasn’t smacked them around yet.…
A quickie or three: • Kristin got the job at the AP Nashville bureau, which is awesome. She starts Monday. How weird is it that this time a month or two ago, she was interviewing for a reporting job down in Monroe, Louisiana, and had planned to drive down to the Times-Picayune to see about a position there, but came down with some random illness that night that kept her from going further south in…
1. “Reno 911” is pretty frigging hilarious. I’ve never laughed harder than I laughed at the “new boot goofin” skit.2. Adam Carolla’s show is unfunny and embarrassing.3. I would rather have “Daily Show” reruns in that timeslot so I can see it if I missed it the night before, which I always do, because the TV at work is always either on ESPN or CNN or off.4. “The Daily Show” is so much better than…
