Man, time has been passing here in the wild wild west. I’m most conscious of it since the boy-o o’mine was kind enough to by me the latest Harry Potter. Say what you will, but J.K. Rowling woman can keep you wanting to see how the story goes.

Not bad for a former dole-living mum. Makes me curse my lazy ass for reading more, writing less.

I still hate the gym, even as I go to fight the ravages of aging. However, it is a little different going to a gym where someone walks in and says, “Mind if I turn on the ‘Newshour with Jim Lehrer?'” Don’t they know it’s supposed to be shitty videos to shitty beat-laden music, sports or something like on the E! Network?

There was a young, possibly Arab-American, Georgetown student who was part of a panel talking about American Muslims and why they need to get a little more radicalized and vocal in condemning terrorism. I should figure out the kid’s name, since I pray to god, or allah, or well, actually I don’t pray, since religion is part of the whole problem, but anyway, I wish there were more guys as articulate as that student and future bullshit slinging Imams and GW Bushes.
