January 2008
On the radio: “Canadians, coming south for bargain shopping.” Ugh.
Also: was searched by the NYPD in the subway this morning for the first time. Security theater. End-of-the-month cop quota BULLSHIT.
Sushi Yasuda for lunch! Fuck mercury!
Wait, Huckabee’s still in this thing?
“This son of a millworker is gonna be just fine”
ANOTHER rate cut? I don’t know much about this stuff, but that doesn’t sound good.
This is the last time I’ll get to make the “Wait—JRE’s father worked in a mill?!?” joke. Sigh. We’ll miss you, Johnny Sunshine!
Hand-drawing letterforms, using muscles that haven’t gotten a workout in a LONG time.
Notice from Amazon that something’s been bought for our baby gift registry. Except we don’t have a baby in the works. Or a registry. Weird!
Why is everyone saying the FL Dem primary doesn’t matter? Like they’re not gonna seat swing-state delegates…
midday malaise. Must. Resist. Coffee run.
Leaked UK gov't doc reveals plan to "coerce" Brits... →
Phil from the UK anti-ID-register group NO2ID sends in this nugget — note the call to action there. We’ve got a sensitive government document revealing the British government’s plan to trick us into a database state and we need as many copies as possible, as quickly as possible!
If you mirror this document, please add a link to it in the comments for the post.

SOTU was a stinking turd. No switchgrass? No steroids? No mars?
WAY overcaffinated. Gotta quit using the large cup for the 3pm coffee run.
TWITTER POLL: “My fellow Americans, the state of the union is ________”
@davewiner awww I thought the link to “Change we can believe in” would be Bay Buchanon’s new face
@gruen you’re from Lowell MA?
Just tried conveyor-belt sushi. Yes, its everything you think it’ll be. No, you don’t really need to find out for yourself.

Bush’s final SOTU! I’m enjoying the first of many “Bush’s final _____” moments. Four years too late, but still…
Heard a “Dianne Reeves” valentines day concert advertised on NPR and thought they said “Dianne Rehm”…

Not only is he a hell of a bartender but he’s also someone you want around if you choose to do a swan dive onto the subway tracks.
See, I was waiting for the L train at 3rd Avenue just minding my own business when this lovely lady in her 50???s decides to peer down the track to see how far away the oncoming train is. You know the one I???m talking about; the one with the 6 foot drop from the...
New York's "automotive Bermuda Triangle" →
Cars are mysteriously dying in a few block radius around New York City’s Empire State Building. Many people think the phenomena is caused by the 30+ transmission antennas on the spire of the 102-story building. Officials from the building deny there’s a problem. From the New York Daily news:
“We get about 10 to 15 cars stuck near there every day,” said Isaac Leviev, manager of Citywide...

Hitting the age where tracking down old friends is stymied by new (married) names. Entropy!
The Conservative Stages of Grief →
In the year 2000, a devastating blow was dealt to conservative ideology. They were at long last given simultaneous control of all parts of government, and a chance to implement their philosophies. The outcome proved, of course, to be a fiasco of monumental proportions. From budget surpluses to record deficits; unchecked pork; a tide of corruption, both moral and legal, that thinned their ranks...
Obama puts the south in play. Period. SC Primary Turnout: Dem: about 530,322. GOP: about 446,000
Google takes a stand against domain tasters →
Domain tasting - also known as domain kiting - an underhanded exploitation of a loophole in domain name registration rules that allows unscrupulous SEO ad jockeys to grab a domain name and make money off of it without paying for it. What this means for legitimate web users is that they often can’t get their hands on the domain names they want because the domain names are being wasted on...

Twitter poll: Delivery guys are coming to deliver a dresser. What’s the appropriate tip amount?
@blurb hope she feels better!
Nerd nightmare: dreamt that yesterday was Election Day (primary) and I didn’t have time to vote.
Voytek, the drinking, smoking soldier bear -- will... →
A campaign is afoot to build a memorial to Voytek, a soldier-bear who fought alongside the Polish army at the Battle of Monte Cassino, carrying ammunition. After the war, Voytek lived out his days in the Edinburgh Zoo, occasionally visited by his old army buddies who tried to slip him the cigarettes and beer he’d come to enjoy while serving in the army.
When Polish forces were deployed to...
should I go home?
ugh—feeling flu-like, out of the blue.
Underwhelming tangerines. Meh.
Joking that “Spitzer’s presentation of the budget was SO boring, it should replace waterboarding” = not funny
Electile Dysfunction →
A noun:
The inability to become aroused over any of the choices for president put forth by either party in the 2008 election year.
Too cold. Fookin’ ‘ell.
Shit! XKGD just out-geeked me and I had to look up “GLaDOS”.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation’s Stop The Spying campaign wants your help to send a message to Congress about granting immunity to telcos that broke the law and helped the NSA engage in indiscriminate mass surveillance of Americans. They’re calling on US citizens to snap pictures of themselves holding anti-immunity signs that give city and state, and they’re producing a...
So long Denny! Thanks for everything!
My dreams need to get a life.
I hit the ATM and Richardson asked to borrow $60. I told him “ok, as long as you support Dodd’s filibuster againsty FISA”.
Dreamt that I was in the Google Phone cafeteria with a group of friends that included Bill Richardson.
