I love that they worked "baloney" into this ad

It's almost like a SNL skit:

Uber Cool Nerd

Apparently I rank as Uber Cool Nerd- which is why I get the chicks!

Today's Feature

I read in the local gay news rag that a 16 year old girl in Reading PA was beaten by her Grandmother (who used her cane to beat the girl) because she walked in on the end of a little afternoon delight she had just had with another girl.

Doesn't Granny realize the harm she's causing?



Can I just shoot this girl's grandmother along with Dick Cheney? Or do I need to rise above my rash and violent reaction as Granny should have?

Vino

Tonight after work we sent a dear colleague off to a new job by celebrating her tenure with us by drinking to excess at The Press in Greensboro. A fine little wine bar, we had a great time. This is easy to do with $10 a bottle wine specials and a group as diverse and talented as my current group of collegues. Though I dislike things about The Company, I love my collegues. They are a good group. I will miss said collegue tremendously... I selfishly wish that once The Company sells, she will come back to us once we are restructured.

Sleeping in

At 1:51pm we woke up today. I guess we were tired. Now that I've eaten breakfast, I'm torn between doing something productive or just going back to bed. That was awesome!

Grace

It has been awhile. Life has been marching on, as it does. Things have been busy, as they are. Work has been demanding, as it is. The weather has been unpredicable, it is spring.

Carmine and her entire family are in Naples... sitting at her grandmother's bedside awaiting her last breath. While it is in many ways a horrible thing to have to do, I am so glad they are all there, and have the chance to do it. Their pastor is their, the whole family is there; one of the nurses got a keyboard brought to the room and Carmine has played everything she can remember- from sonatas, to nocturnes, to showtunes and polkas.

And in these last days, these last hours, I realize even more why I love this family so...

I predict the cheeseheads will decide it

Obama or Hillary? My support is and has always been for Obama, ever since he first spoke at the DNC years ago. I watched him, I listened, I read about him and said to myself-that is my next president.

But I am not a superdelegate... and it looks like they are going to play a huge role in this. And they will follow Wisconsin. If this very conservative, very Lutheran, very white state goes to Obama- so will the democratic nomination.

Of course, this very conservative, very Lutheran, very white state could be more scared of a black man than they are Hillary. She is very strongly disliked by conservative republicans in WI, and in good Christian fashion, absolutely hated by evangelical Christian republicans in WI. Wisconsin is usually a Blue State... but because of the dicotomy that is the State of Wisconsin, the democrats there should be much more aware that should Hillary win the democratic nomination, then McCain will surely win the White House.

I wish Hillary would realize this, but you know, "it's not easy".

Too soon

I remember when Kurt Cobain killed himself. I was living with my first serious girlfriend, who was absolutely devasted by the news. I didn't understand the intensity of her reaction at all at the time. And although I am not quite as emotional as my former lover was when Kurt died, I am deeply saddened by Heath Ledger's passing. He will be missed.
