Sixty Years On

So happy it’s Thursday. I like that acronym. And I am thankful to Thor for it is his day, in his chariot pulled by goats, son of one eyed Odin, half brother of Loki. You can thank or blame Marvel Comics for that. I’ve always loved mythology but I admit my bias towards the Mediterranean gods, Greek, Roman and Judeo Christian. Greek and Roman myths are more interesting to me at least, and that may be from over exposure to the Judeo Christian myths. Today has been a relatively calmer day, politics wise personally. Not fired up like yesterday, then again I hadn’t read the papers online in depth.

Last night, was chill out time again. Watched Ric Burns series on World War 2 on PBS. I keep missing the first hour since it’s on the same time as the Daily Show and the Colbert Report and both last night were really great broadcasts. I’ve noticed Fuck Snooze is going to run a show to start beating the drums of war louder for Iran. According to the commercial, they have sleeper cells here in the states. Plans to use Iraq as a base for an attack on Iran. Where will the money come from? And where will the personnel come from? Such a mess.

After Ric Burns, there was more WW2 only this time was focused on New Yorkers. By that time I was a zombie and it was just background noise with voices from Canarsie, Sheepshead Bay. Classic old time New York voices. Apparently when I’m not arguing about the war, I’m watching newsreel footage from over 60 years ago. The world’s a mess. It’s always been a mess. Now it’s really a big mess that will require a lot of cleaning up. That’s putting it nicely.

Work was ok today. Vivek, Tom Chin and Desi Gandoo flew down to Orlando for the day. That’s the flight I booked yesterday. Landed this morning and they should be back tonight, around 9:00 in Newark. The office was quiet. Going through resumes, only a trickle. Trying to go alternate routes rather than to go through an agency. Trying to save some money for the company. My eye, is on the bottom line. Sent a general email to various friends, got a couple of replies. Dreading having to interview someone, but then again I’m sure I can find some interview pointers online somewhere.

The part of midtown where I work, Turtle Bay, has calmed down considerable Ahmenijhad and Bush both left town taking their big muscular security forces with them. So there weren’t as many to take pictures of. I can’t believe the responses I got from my comment last night about fashion photography. It was definitely eye opening, and makes me consider different options, so for that I thank you all. That’s basically it for tonight. Just going to watch Ugly Betty, My Name is Earl, and The Office, all season premieres. I’ll more than likely comment on that tomorrow. I’m tired. Good night and Good Luck.

Oh yeah, some pics. Only a few though.

Nice suit. His glasses had no sides, they just perched on his nose!
