things to note as of recently
so everyone was making a big fuss about new orleans (and they should), but what about all those other little towns and parishes that were destroyed but haven't heard jack shit from fema?-----
crosswords are great, but don't get me wrong, the daily cl crossword is still the easiest and shittiest piece of crosswording shit out there.
go for the new york times.
-----
john roberts looks like a douchebag. if this guy's going to be chief supreme court justice, he better fucking know who he's dealing with. bader-ginsberg can be such a bitch.
-----
i thoroughly enjoyed kanye west's lambaste of the president (i think his exact words were "george w. bush hates black people."), but the man makes good points. how come when they show black people on tv it's "looting" but when white people do it they're "searching for food"? double standards.
funny how after forty years past the civil rights movement, america is still just as ignorant. women still aren't getting paid equal salaries, racial and ethnic minorities still don't have parity, and same-sex relationships don't hold up to the law. where the fuck did the validity of "all men are created equal" come from?
i fucking love and hate this country so much at the same time. it's one of the few places where you can make fun of your government and get a slap on the wrist, but you can still watch "friends" reruns two hours later.
it's just like christianity: nothing's wrong with the concept except for the people who interpret it.
-----
drinking in the afternoon is great. drinking at one of the best college sports bars is great. and drinking until everyone around you is happy, hot, and huggable is even better.
-----
times when you can just hang out and shit around with some good friends and good stories are so precious. it never really felt like it before but now after three years it all seems to come crashing down. you cherish these moments more simply because it all seems so tenuous; it's still hard to imagine that a lot of these people i will probably still hang out with when i'm all old. except for david; he never gets old.
-----
television is worth watching for a few shows, and tha's it. save for pbs, don't trust your local channel. and goddamn, get cable.
-----
slight, awkward realization: is this what normal people do? this weekend seems to be so empty and ready to be pillaged. i'm not going to seattle for the game (i wish i could!) but that really just leaves me with a lot of time on my hands this weekend.
it kinda sucks though since all the people i hang out with are on that trip.
-----
beer, wine or liquor? of all three i had yesterday, beer was the most satisfying, wine was the one that calmed me down, and liquor was just fun.
i guess it's a three-way-tie.
-----
anyone see any good movies lately? the last one i saw was "the 40-year old virgin." laughs abounded.
-----
do not, i repeat, do not try to do a cappella while just a bit buzzed. it's ba-a-a-a-a-a-a-d.
