March 2006 Archives
Well, I'm in Minneapolis now, and let's just say that the timing for this trip was bad for several reasons. Most of all. the weather here is terrible and the weather in DC was fantastic this weekend. It's supposed to be 80 degrees there tomorrow! I think we're going to get six inches of snow here tonight.
Spent almost the entire day watching episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm, some of which I had only seen once three years ago in England. Spent the rest of my time eating Davanni's and listening to Air with the iTunes visualizer on. Also spent a few minutes trying to code HTML over the phone - and you know what: I still got it!
Will hopefully be traveling down to Decorah on Tuesday to see G. Edwin, weather permitting.
I was really glad to read this morning that Russ is the only person in the Senate worth his salt. The Bush apologists use the 9/11 defense for the President breaking the law and the other Democrats won't say anything substantial. Feingold is completely right, Bush should be censured at the least for intentionally breaking the FISA laws; they impeached Clinton for far less. Is there a double standard on the right when it comes to holding presidents accountable for following the law? To take a line from Liar, Liar (a terrible movie): "Stop breaking the law, asshole!" That's what Congress should be telling President Bush, and that's basically what a censure is.
If there is fresh snow tomorrow and the weather is good I think I'll go take some photos of this beautiful city.
I have purchased my ticket for Spring Break 2006, and I'm going to the only place worth going: Minneapolis. I leave DC on 09 March and return on 17 March, so I'll have a full week there.
Been pretty busy the past few days/weeks/months, but now I'm back. Here are some updates:
Phil and I have become obsessed with The Larry Sanders Show, even though we can only find the first season of it. "Hey Now!" Hank Kingsley is of course the best character, but Larry and Artie are always a close second. Is somebody on the speakerphone? ... Goddamnit
A new addition to my music favorites is Feist who is an amazing singer, and a Vixen™ to boot.
The Office continues to be the strongest show on TV, followed by the Boondocks. The thing that blows my mind about the Boondocks is the amount of effort put into the art in the show as well as the direction of action and biting satire.
The Ricky Gervais podcast is the funniest audio found on the internet. Period. I don't care for people that don't like his shows.
Really, really enjoyed
Thinking about moving back to Minneapolis for the summer and fall for the election, but it'd have to be for the right campaign.
The bastard who lives below us is currently pounding on the wall because I don't think he's learned that doing that doesn't solve the noise problems from the neighbors at all.
More to come tomorrow.
