You will yawn when you read this.

I have had too much chocolate today. *bleah*

My tolerance for how much "too much" chocolate is has gone down noticably over the past few years. I'm not sure if I should rejoice or mourn.

I am being productive. *chug chug chug* And I ate a healthy lunch to offset the chocolate.

Markk Knopfler really is a god-like lyric-writing being. In a perfect world he would be doing the soundtrack for the "Firefly" movie.

Proof that the kindly lifeforce hates me: there's no way I could ever justify the $$


Gods, I'm so astonishingly boring. Will try to have something interesting to post later.

How to be beyond-belief tacky, in one easy lesson...

This from The Hill.com -- an article talking about the GOP plans for their convention in NYC.



"According to sources privy to convention planners’ discussions, the 2004 GOP conclave at New York’s Madison Square Garden will be unlike any previous quadrennial gathering of either party. In fact, not all of the main events will be held at the Garden, sources involved in planning the Aug. 31-Sept. 2 convention said.

...

The source, a veteran official of past GOP conventions, said the 50,000 delegates, dignitaries and guests would watch off-site events on giant TV screens. “Now, we’ll go to the deck of the USS Intrepid as the U.S. Marine Corps Band plays the national anthem,” he said, pretending that he was playing the part of the convention chairman.

“Or, and this is a real possibility, we could see President Bush giving his acceptance speech at Ground Zero,” he added. “It’s clearly a venue they’re considering.”"


Uh-huh....

I really, really, really hope that someone with a brain larger than a walnut convinces them that this is a really, really bad idea. They're worried about protesters _now?_

(And I'd say the same about ANY politican that tried to use Ground Zero for such a purpose. I don't even like them speechifying at memorial services. That space is not for you. It will never be for you. It's for us.)
