Thursday. I went to sleep around 9:30 after feeling a bit light headed. Decided to record Lost as I planned and also recorded the rebroadcast of the Daily Show and The Colbert Report this morning since Ugly Betty and My Name is Earl/The Office is on during yet another broadcast. Yeah yeah I know, who cares? I slept really well though. Bill stayed up and did not watch Lost so I have no idea what actually happened. I had a really deep sleep and it felt good since I was so achy. Now, today I feel good enough for a play date.

I woke up, showered, coffee, cereal and the email. Bill went off to work before I did leaving me with a kiss. He looked so cute in his suit and tie and his rumpled hat. I feel like such a parent sometimes dealing with Bill. I made sure he had his umbrella just in case it rained and I spit on my fingers to smooth out his hair. Hey, I’ve got a poetic license to kill. For some reason I feel I should tell you here that I was reading the Republic of T last night and I recommend the entries about The Queer Thing About School Shooters. He wrote three pieces but I’ve only read the first two.

Work was busy and so far, day nine, and I am constantly surprised by how fast the day goes by. Of course, having written that I have jinxed myself and the days will crawl. Still working on working on a system while doing just about everything that is asked of me. Today I asked Tom Chin, the Chief Financial Officer how I was doing and he said I was doing really well and he’s happy with my work, mentioning that Greg Stevens and Vivek are happy with me too. Tom Chin also apologized for snapping at me earlier.

I had asked him this morning for some information and he proceeded to read me the info from a sheet of paper he had in his hands. I craned my neck to see what it was so I could write notes and that’s when he snapped. It wasn’t so bad and certainly wasn’t akin to Felicia snapping at me. He later told me he had some confidential documents that I wasn’t supposed to see and someone earlier had done a similar thing. He did apologize a few times and I let him off the hook. That’s me, Mr. Nice Guy. Hello! After you!

Now I’m home, just watched some of Ugly Betty. I was talking to Sweet Sarah on the phone. Been a while since we had spoken and I was recording Ugly Betty anyway. I guess I will watch those tomorrow night since nothing is on Fridays anyway and I certainly don’t go out and do anything anymore. Wait, that’s not true. I am going to see Bjork on May 2 and Arcade Fire on May 9 and in between is the Hoboken Art & Music Festival and Dr. John is headlining and an old friend Karen Kuhl is also on the bill.

It’s now a rainy Wednesday though it didn’t start out that way. I am now congested and have a sinus headache and I didn’t start out that way either. I went to bed at a decent hour last night after watching the Gilmore Girls, then Frontline about Global Warming and how the idiots in the White House are in total denial. Jeezy Creezy I hate them so much. I don’t think I’ve hated anyone as much as I hated these two motherfuckers. I don’t think I hated Ronald Reagan as much as these fools and that is saying quite a bit.

I woke up a few minutes earlier than the alarm clock, Bill was home and taking the day off to clean the apartment. I don’t exactly know what that means. The bed was made so I guess that might qualify. Bill wasn’t home so I couldn’t ask him. I felt fine as I showered and had some breakfast, got on the bus as usual and I noticed that my head was feeling congested. I continued reading Richard Dawkins ‘The God Delusion’ and I highly recommend it. I’m now in the chapter where Dawkins is going through the old and new testaments, dissecting the books and chapters and wondering how so many people could believe these stories.

He easily refutes modern theologians statements about how no one takes the book of Genesis as literal truth, when actually a lot of people do. From the banishment from the Garden of Eden (what ever happened to the Garden once Adam and Eve were kicked out?), Noah and the flood, where god decides to just kill everyone except for Noah and his family and two of each animal. It seems like god is such a petty monster, to Abraham about to kill Isaac then changing his mind, Abraham pimping his wife Sarah to an Egyptian pharaoh, telling the pharaoh that Sarah was his sister (Genesis 12: 18-19). When the pharaoh found out, kicked their asses out of Egypt and Abe and Sarah wind up with the King of Gerar, where Ol’ Abe starts pimping Sarah again.

Could you imagine the psychological damage Isaac had after nearly being killed by his father, who in true Nuremberg style, was only following orders. I do so enjoy reading these dissections. I could go on, but I recommend reading the book. I enjoy it and certainly have gotten a few chuckles out of it. In an interesting note, I was just kicked out of a yahoo group for my atheism. I had a few words with a moderator who had a problem with Wiccans. I pointed out that his problems with the Wiccans could easily be applied to any religion. I guess I lined that cross, or maybe crossed that line. No big deal. I did rejoin under one of my noms de web just to follow the progress in kouros8@yahoo.com group. What a Malaka.

This morning I had to help Greg Stevens get his passport renewed before he flies off to Bermuda on Friday morning. I was on hold with the State Department for nearly thirty minutes to no avail. Then I tried getting info from some companies that promise to be able to get a passport in 24 hours. It would cost close to $600 but that’s nothing really to these people. Greg was able to talk his way into the passport office, (located around the block from McMann and Tate) and will be picking up his renewed passport by 5:00 tomorrow. So he was happy and thanked me, though all I did was actually give him directions to the passport office.

I left work an hour earlier than usual, feeling stuffed up in the head and achy in the bones. I felt ok out on the street but indoors, I was woozy. Now I’m home, feeling ok and very hungry despite having a tuna sandwich a little while ago. I think it’s allergies since the weather is playing havoc with the pollen and whatnot. I’m going to take it easy tonight, just chill out, maybe watch Lost. I’m recording it just in case I can’t stay awake. I plan on going back to work tomorrow.

Spoke with Miriam today who just got home from the hospital after giving birth to a daughter, Meriah Grace Mazzerella, 7 lbs 10 oz. Yay! Mother, father and daughter are doing well.
