Oh my god. America is truly disgusting.

After Ohio State started doing poorly about a month ago, I told my mom I couldn't watch any more, and she started accusing me of being one of her least favorite characters--the "fair weather fan." Now I agree, I hate those people, who start booing the team after two bad drives in a row, but what I'm doing is something rather different. On the ( Read more... )

The other day, someone about whom, it appears, I have the bad fortune to care, accused me of being too analytical. We were watching a movie that hollsterhambone and I had taught in class that day, and I was pointing out the obvious, like the the fact that the women were stuck in the kitchen, and the boat looks like a big ol' phallus, etc, and all, inevitably, ( Read more... )

As lunarcamel notes, it is foggy! I woke up freezing, with Charlie burrowing under the quilts. That cat loves blankets. It was 59 degrees in my house. I suppose that's what I get for insisting on sleeping with windows open. It looks like the time for that has come and gone ( Read more... )

Well, I was feeling really shitty earlier, but as others said, and as I know, it's nothing that a little time with good people won't fix. I didn't get much work done, but I feel better. Dinner with EH is always a pleasure, as well as a Drinking LIberally, which, despite the buttons, started slowly. However, eventually, we were lucky enough to find ( Read more... )

To say that today has not been a good day for me personally would really be a bit of an understatement, but I received this email in response to one I wrote to DR in which I stated that I was an "IDIOT!".

His response: hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

That took me a second, but when I got it, I was super happy.

After a 6 email long conversation in which I explained to CQ that scheduling racquetball dates with your roommates at 10pm on evenings you have dinner plans with me is unacceptable, his allergies acted up and he had to leave shortly thereafter anyhow. Maybe it's time to give up on this inevitably star-crossed relationship ( Read more... )

Now that everyone is back in the country, we encourage you all to join a spirited Drinking Liberally this Thursday at the Shanty, from 7-10, as we get close to the big day. Come join us to talk politics (or not) and have a beer. Contact me if you any questions.

I'm finally recovered (sort of) from my trip to Vancouver, and it was awesome. WR and I drove through dust storms and rain to Phoenix, before boarding a flight to Seattle, and driving up to Vancouver. Highlights from the drive included the border patrol guy from Canada suggesting that we, from Arizona, must all have guns. Having convinced him, ( Read more... )

A long day. Was going to see CQ tonight, but he had a friend that committed suicide and he flew back to CO at the last minute. I find myself irritated that I wanted to see him so badly I really liked the idea of seeing him tonight. Ahh, I'm an idiot. I know better than that ( Read more... )
