when being up at 6:30 is considered sleeping in

today is the day this country celebrates tossing out one inbred leadership in favor of another inbred leadership. one they give the illusion they're actually voting in!

i was going to go on about this but what joe lieberman is doing makes me laugh and cry at how people just can't let go. he may lose the democratic primary in his own state for another run at the senate. but since he's close to losing he's going to apply to be on the ballot as an independent. way to cover your ass joe! if your own party doesn't want you, isn't it time to have a lie down?

i was also going to take a walk, but it's raining and thundering. being caught under a fallen tree at greenlawn isn't how i wanted to spend this day off either.

i do feel better. the cynicism is back! and the mets lost by ten last night again, to the pirates. oh biy, there's sucking going on at flushing meadows.

if you do celebrate this day, enjoy and be safe. if you don't - the same!

lawn work postponed on account of rain

been reading the kiterunner, which is so damn sad i have to step away from it for awile. but i have to find out what happens so i will be getting back to it anon..

went to stauf's and did some writing which went off in about four different directions at once. when i started ripping off a t-bone burnett song i knew it was time to stop. damn good cinammon bun though. it's been keeping me going all day long.

even stopped by the main post office to get some stamps.

straightened out n's room, and am in the midst of reducing the size of mt. laundry.

i am so tired of living paycheck to paycheck. i'm going to die if there isn't some easement of the stress level.

my 25th high school reunion is 8/19. no, i'm not going. even if i had the money it's not worth the $75 per person (that's $150 if I bring my armed bodyguard, er, spouse!). Sorry, seeing people i haven't seen in 25 years isn't worth it. like they cared or remember me anyway. I'll just stalk them on the internet. it's cheaper that way.

oh, and i'd have to travel over there, which is an additional cost. airports aren't fun anymore.
