Lists …

Lists … everyone has them, and of all sorts of different things.

Over the last couple of days, one of the lists that I’ve discussed with various people is the “free reign celebrity” list … i.e., those celebrities that you have free reign to have sex with, regardless of partnership/marriage status.

My current top 5 [...]

This weather is killing me …

For almost two weeks now, we’ve been stuck in a really nasty inversion layer; the smog is socked in so thick, you can barely see more than a few blocks, and it’s colder in the valley than it is in the mountains … and it doesn’t look like it’s going to clear out until [...]

Poetry Friday

Enough quoting of other people’s poetry … time to try an original again.

A Smog-ku

Inversion layer Socked in the valley, choking       haze, no burn, no snow.

A high pressure ridge, El Niño at work, winter storms       passing to the north.

No snow, rain or wind, The stagnant air remains while       snow pack starts to [...]

BartmanG goes free!

USADA has dropped their case against Bart Gillespie!

Bart goes into great detail on his blog about what has happened, and as he indicates, hopefully USADA will re-look at Sager‘s case as well.

More moving …

Got the word today that the divorce papers are almost ready for me to sign before they get filed … and oddly enough, I’m feeling a sense of relief rather than despair.

One friend is likening the process to ripping off a Band-Aid quickly, so the wound can heal. That seems like a really good [...]

Quote of the Day

Taking Leave of a Friend

Blue mountains to the north of the walls, White river winding about them; Here we must make separation And go out through a thousand miles of dead grass.

Mind like a floating wide cloud, Sunset like the parting of old acquaintances Who bow over their clasped hands at a distance. [...]

Moving on …

Signed re-finance papers today, taking my name off the mortgage; although I’m still on the title deed until the divorce is final.

Feels weird. Wonder how long it will be before the loan is closed out on my credit report.

Then comes the unpleasant task of gathering the rest of my belongings, and dividing up [...]

“I’m in, and I’m in to win!”

From The New York Times:

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton jumped into the 2008 presidential race yesterday, immediately squaring off against Senator Barack Obama and the rest of the Democratic field in what is effectively the party’s first primary, the competition for campaign donations.

“I’m in,” Mrs. Clinton said in an e-mail message to supporters [...]

Semi-wasted Weekends

This has been a really shitty week, as some of you readers may have gathered from reading some of my earlier entries, and I wasted most of the weekend …

Yesterday was the exciting laundry day, although I did make a trip out to Barnes & Noble to meet a friend for coffee briefly … [...]

What the Fuck QOTD?

“The Constitution doesn’t say every individual in the United States or citizen is hereby granted or assured the right of habeas corpus. It doesn’t say that. It simply says the right shall not be suspended.”

  — U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, responding to questions from Sen. Arlen Specter at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing [...]
