Someone's out to lunch
Just saw this top story on CNN:
"The White House held out the prospect Tuesday that U.S. troop levels in Iraq could be reduced soon, but President Bush insisted he would not withdraw U.S. forces 'without having achieved victory.' With the U.S. death toll in Iraq at 2,110, Bush said he would not let those troops 'die in vain' by withdrawing before a stable, democratic Iraq emerges. In recent weeks opinion polls have shown falling support for Bush and the war, and there has been growing talk of developing a timetable for withdrawing."
Seems like I....
wait a minute..
getting a flashback........
ahhhhhh yes....

And there it is.

I be illin'
Sick, again. I started feeling it Sunday, and it has gone downhill from there. I feel like I'm typing in slow motion. I'm hitting the Zicam, so hopefully it won't last too long. For now, all I want to do is sleep. ZZZZZZ

This guy sounds entertaining. He's a Georgia fan, and you know I love them Dawgs. When they're playing Florida.
Check out Martians Attacking Indianapolis. The name made me giggle, and therefore, click.
I think I just wasted 4 days
In 4 days, I could have:
1. Worked out
2. Gone to San Francisco
3. Hiked
4. Written at least 30 pages of script
5. Read a book
6. Learn to mix a new drink
7. Volunteered
8. Fixed my bike
9. Washed my car
10. Gotten a haircut
..and much, much more. Instead, I:
1. Watched football
2. Hung curtains
Hey... you celebrate Thanksgiving your way, I'll celebrate it mine.

Pathetic, yet mildly amusing
First, I am blindsided with a humiliating Florida State loss at the hands of the gators... now, this: My neighbor - let's call her Moo Moo - knocks on my door to see if I'm OK. She noticed that my car hadn't moved since Wednesday.
Wednesday.
I am such a loser. But, think of all the gas I saved this weekend.

Bon Voyage

Christina, one of my first new friends in L.A. and a charter member of the Desperate Sunday Club, is leaving for a year to do a show on a cruise ship as it sails around the world. So, today we had a send-off breakfast down the street at Vivian's. She loves the banana pancakes, and they pretty much are the bomb. It's sad to see her go, but exciting at the same time. She will be missed. Especially during Christmas in July.
Black Friday
It's a term used by retailers to describe the one day of the year where they make money... off intelligent consumers like you and me. It's also known as The Day After Thanksgiving, or Shopping Day for Idiots and Assholes. Tell me, do they show up at Walmart at 4am because these specials will only last until 6? Or, is it because the store will run out of everything by the end of the day?
I understand. If Walmart runs out of stuff, we're screwed. They will never get more in. And no one else will have what we need either. It's a major crisis. One that necessitates tramplings, beatdowns, and robbery at gunpoint. I wonder if all the Rite Aids are out of Christmas lights... Will Ralph's have any eggnog left? Shit. I better get up at 3 - I must go shopping before it's all gone.

Excuse the mess
It's time to pull out the Christmas decorations, so I start moving crap around. Guess I just got tired at looking at my own web site. Go back to eating your Thanksgiving leftovers.

Relax, people.

Indian tennis star Sania Mirza has angered Muslims because she advocates safe sex. Premarital sex is a huge sin in Islam. Fine. But now crowds are burning this girl in effigy. Wow.. what a huge relief to know that we have solved all of the world's biggest problems to concentrate on comments from a 19-year-old tennis player.Look, the girl is 19. She's a teenager. Like it or not, teenagers have sex. They drink. They do drugs. They download stuff illegally. But, go ahead.. burn the girl in effigy. That'll learn her.

Family reunion
My parents just flew back to Florida today. They've been in town since last Thursday. I think they had a pretty good time, aside from the crazy traffic we subjected them to.
They visited, in no particular order: Venice Beach, Rodeo Drive, The Getty Center, La Brea Tar Pits, Griffith Observatory, Runyan Canyon, the Hollywood Sign, Malibu, the Sony Pictures Studio Tour, the Fox & Hounds Pub, Bob's Big Boy, Fox Studios, Carneys, Pinks, the NoHo Diner, Hollywood Forever Cemetery, Westwood Cemetery, the Gene Autry Museum, Third Street Promenade, the Iliad Bookshop, Grauman's Chinese Theater, Melrose, and a bunch of other crap squeezed in between. The also got to meet not one, but TWO of our bitchy neighbors - Moo Moo and Crazy Wife #2.
We had some fun. I miss them already. And with Chris gone through Thanksgiving, I'm on my own. I plan to sleep. A lot.

Happy Birthday, Chris!

You are 31. An age that is insignificant, irrelevant, irreversible. Enjoy!
Drinks at Residuals tonight. Maybe Fox & Hounds, too.
Why am I still awake?
I should have crashed hours ago. Halloween night was spent at the big freak show in Hollywood. Nothing like seeing drag queens, Willa Wonka, FEMA vacationers, Michael Jackson, Captain Jack Sparrow, and Oprah all in the same place at the same time. I think they were just costumes, but I could be wrong. I'm probably awake because I've had a couple. (Have you tried the new Grolsch Amber Ale? Yummy.) Maybe I'm still awake because my world is spinning out of control. Again.Here's to not being miserable again tomorrow. Hopefully.
