Not quite as clean of an escape as I'd hoped
Lyndon said I sound very hoarse, and I'm tired as all get out, so I'm assuming I caught a bit of the respiratory con crud. Oh, well -- at least it's not the stomach bug type, so I'm grateful for small favors. Now if I could just convince the leprechauns trying to bash their way out of my sinuses to knock it off...
Since the brain ain't working all that great, I'm going to post some random thoughts because, hell, it's my blog and I can.
- Is it my imagination, or is George Carlin starting to edge away from
"comedy" and more towards "bitter, cynical ranting"? Mind you, I agree
with a lot of what he says, but I don't think you can honestly call
it comedy anymore.
- The new HBO mini-series John
Adams looks so fucking cool.
Frankly, I will watch Paul Giamatti read the phone book, so watching
him performing in what looks to be an amazing miniseries is like my
birthday and Christmas coming all at once.
- I need to start practicing yoga more often, if only for the stress
reduction benefits.
- Sinus surgery, even with the unpleasant aftermath, is sounding more
and more appealing every time I rest my weary head and my nose slams
shut.
- I drove home from the store last night with the windows open and
a wonderful breeze flowing through the car. This morning, I ran around
closing windows because the joint was freezing. I know weather in Texas
is changeable, but this bi-polar crap is getting on my nerves.
- I'm in awe that Islamic
scholars in Turkey are overseeing a radical overhaul of the Hadith,
the Prophet Mohammed’s reputed sayings. The point of the project
is to allow millions of Muslims to re-evaluate their religious obligations
in the light of modern ways of living; this is comparable to the Christian
Reformation, people, and could be just as bloody.
- I love Keith Olbermann. That is all.
