Wouldn't Surprise Me in the Least
According to Iranian news, Osama bin Laden has been captured by Pakistani forces.
The White House is keeping quiet about this, because, the news agency suggests, Bush needs to use it a…
I'm Still Here
It's been a busy week. And, I do have something I want to write about, which had its origins as a comment to something Juliet posted a couple days ago, but as I was writing it in my head, it evolved into…
24
Well, in 24 hours, my annual Lenten tradition of giving up chocolate kicks in.
It's going to be harder this year, as I've become rather addicted to Starbucks Mochas.
I think tomorrow, I'll actually buy a Venti. …
Well...
I've just sent off my résumé and cover letter for a different job downtown. I've been too unhappy with my current position for too long. While I would love to stay at the company, which has outstanding benefit…
When Will Night Come to the House?
I was coming back home tonight, after poisoning my body at Arby's, and I thought of the line "Wann wird es Nacht im Haus?" from Tristan und Isolde, which basically translates into "Whe…
Lookin' For a Crib
No, this is not about babies.
I've begun my apartment hunt. Oy. Chicago has roughly 60 zipcodes. I've narrowed my search down to about 6.
If I go further north than I had planned (Edgewater, for …
Creative Writing
I have to say, conservatives are better with adjectives than I thought. These rulings in favor to the gay community have really fueled their creativity. First, we had "activist" judges. Now, San Fran…
WTF?
Color me furious that ABC is making me wait three more weeks for the next episode of Alias. I had to wait three weeks just to get to this one.
Why the wait? Because they've decided that next Sunday, they want to…
Wedding Bells
Generally speaking, when it comes to social issues, I am able to see both sides of an issue fairly easily. And, typically, I am hesitant to choose one side or another as a result. I may have an opinion o…
February 14
Well, yeah, it's that day. But, I'm feeling okay. I don't have anyone to be with. Last year, I had an unnotable date. This year, I'm alone, which is something with which I'm much more familiar. The big …
Only Me
I haven't had a chance to say much lately - there's been a new distraction. I was going to do one uber-long post, but Thursday is a story that really deserves its own post. One of those things that can only h…
Back to Normal, Or a Reasonable Facsimile Thereof.
Well, I think I'm probably mostly back to healthy again. Still a little discontent in the bowels, but much better than the past two days anyway.
I've decided that I d…
Featherweight
Well, not really. But, I just stepped on my scale, and I'm down to 165! I don't think it's all sickness either.
Wow. I haven't seen 165 since college, and back then I went flying past it. I started co…
*whimper*
Yesterday, I actually left work early, feeling sick. My stomach was crying. I felt like I could've thrown up, if I were the sort of person to do that. But I haven't vomited in a dozen years (not even when d…
Does It Get Much Worse Than This?
I wrote a song today. A friggin' song. Not a happy song. A little heart-broken song. Just thinking about it makes me want to hurl.
This is severe. I've never attempted poetry in o…
Soul in Distress
I thought of making this a protected post, because I know there was a chance of someone making a disparaging remark, and while it may be something I need to hear, it's not something with which I can cop…
The Price of Tuition
How often does it occur that the one thing we want to learn is the one thing for which we cannot find a teacher?
Wicked Good Fun
I've just started reading Wicked - The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire. Lawks, this book is fun! I'm only on page 29 (of 406), but I'm already thinking my next book pu…
Sometimes It's Just a Line
I know I've posted lyrics to Emmylou Harris songs lately - a break from my usual pattern of restricting song lyrics to the titles of my entries. There's one portion, however, of a different s…
What If...
So, I was watching TV tonight, and there were promotions for an upcoming episode of JAG, where, apparently, top US leaders are before the World Court, facing charges of war crimes.
What if that happened? Of…
On a Cold Night
I've been craving soup a lot lately. Does anyone out there know any good soup recipes for a crock pot? I have the feeling that my crock pot needs to be involved in the soup process.
In other news, the…
Did You Learn Nothing?
So, I'm rather disappointed with CNN and other media outlets. They've been projecting winners in today's primaries without many precincts reporting. I thought maybe they'd learn their lesson aft…
Can You Hear Me NowO the walls are closin' inI can feel it in my bonesLike water risin' up to my chinAnother long night to be alone
I could go out on the townTalk too much and laugh too loudIf I'm already on my way down…
The Decline of Quality Television
I am, apparently, almost the only gay man who enjoys sports. None of my gay friends had any plans to watch the Super Bowl. One of them even called me while the game was on. I forgave…
Where Have I Been?
So, a few other people have done this. Let me explain that for me, I pretty much require that I spend the night in a state in order to consider it "visited". The one exception is Wisconsin. I haven…
I Will Dream
This is a song, by Emmylou Harris, that makes me remember Someone, even though I don't really have Someone to remember.In my imaginationYou are my dear companionAnd I'm the one you cling toAnd your voice st…
