November 2005 Archives

Apologies for not posting lately, been a little busy.

Should be a fun weekend, I've started playing WarCraft II again, something I haven't done since high school. I think I like Age of Empires II a little better though, they have a lot of improvements.

Today, I plan on going to Potomac Mills to see Shopgirl. Hopefully it will break the horrible movie streak that Steve Martin has been on. I think the last good movie he was in was Novocaine. We all know the Pink Panther is going to suck, they moved back its opening to February, 2006, you know, the biggest movie time of the year after Thanksgiving and Labor Day. I think that's when they released Electra last year. Quality. (I haven't actually seen Electra, so I don't know how fair it is for me to say that about it).

I must say that I am proud that Norm Coleman ACTUALLY KEPT HIS WORD FOR ONCE. Well, it was convenient for him to do so, the ANWR drilling bill had 52 yes votes, so he was safe to vote against it without pissing off the Bush admin. I bet he was worried there, or he would not have been softening the ground for the eventuality that he might have to vote for it. Now, in 2008, when Bush's approval rating is hovering in the low 20s in the Minnesota, Normy will be waving this bill all over the place, saying, "Look, I actually disagreed with the President once! Look!" He pretty much made it clear that he would vote yes if it looked like the bill was in jeopardy, but what does that say about Normy, that he does the right thing only when convenient? Well, we knew that already.

I cannot wait for this Sunday's Times and the live West Wing Debate, and of course, the highlight of my week, Curb Your Enthusiasm!
