Uncontrollable Urge

Oh it was a scorcher today. 90 degrees. Me? I wore a long sleeved shirt for some odd reason. Didn’t go out much. On Thursdays I used to walk up to 57th street and treat myself to a Penne, Pesto and Chicken lunch. Well that place went out of business. Closed.

One week they were open, next week they’re closed. Maybe they didn’t know either. Rents on 57th street must be through the roof, perhaps that’s why they went out of business.

Today I tried a different place, same dish and it was so incredibly lackluster. The pasta was over cooked, more like cylindrical paste. It was cheaper than the now closed place, but it was a chore to finish it off.

Last night Bill came home and ate and went to bed soon after that. I had the republican convention on and let me tell you, I dislike Sarah Palin. No solutions, just attack attack attack. The republicans have no platform to forward, just more of the same. She’s a tacky thing that Sarah Palin. Also the put down of community organizers was in bad form.

Wasn’t Jesus a community organizer? And wasn’t Pontius Pilate a governor? Oh well, I guess when you have George Bush’s scriptwriters writing for you, you don’t have much say in what comes out of your mouth, or in Sarah Palin’s case, what goes into the mouth as well.

Even the republican talking heads have been heard commenting on how they think this is a cynical move by McCrazy and the choice of Sarah Palin was nothing but bullshit that could bring them down. One could only hope.

I chatted in a bitchy gay intellectual chat room during the runner up to Miss Alaska’s speech. Yes they were mean and bitchy and also very funny. More adept at ignoring the trolls than I am. I always go after the trolls.

Four years ago I was on fire, fighting a troll from Paramus in a chat room. My friends in the chat room kept telling me to ignore this mutton disguised as lamb, but I couldn’t let the filth go by without attacking. I like to think I learned my lesson and ignore the lesion.

I guess it will be like this until the election. I don’t see how some people could complain about the ‘liberal’ media when Brian Williams and his crowd are all sporting wood for Cotton Hill. Except for Katie Couric who is flashing high beams.

And once again The Daily Show and The Colbert Report have the best reporting on the convention as well as the campaign. Do yourself a favor and go to Comedy Central online and watch their full episodes. Do it! Do it NOW!

Tonight is finally the last night of the undertakers convention, I mean, the republican convention. So much sugar, and so few ants in the sugar bowl. I also have to give Julio and Stine their mail which means I might get to see Alexander. I heard he’s changed.

Thank You

Well This is new. I’m using Google docs instead of my usual Open Office which for some reason is unresponsive. I think my computer was attacked by a bug recently and things just aren’t the same. But so far I don’t like the layout of Google docs and slowly I am waiting for the Open Office to open itself up.
Now it’s back to normal whatever that means.

Last night more of what you’ve read before. We tried watching the republican convention, but it was difficult. Fred Thompson, actor not statesman. Mentioned that John McCain’s experience as a POW doesn’t qualify him to be president but it shows Cotton Hill’s character. Which is almost exactly what Wesley Clark said in July and was attacked for saying it.

So he can play the role of good old boy from Buttfuck TN, with a bobbleheaded wife with bobble boobs and help the large circle jerk in St. Paul get off. Sarah Palin, the less said about the better. Biden should and would destroy her in the debates. I’m sure she is bound to fall on her face.

And Cotton Hill. What could be said about McCrazy that hasn’t been said already. The debates should decide everything, but then again that’s what I felt back in 2004. We will just have to wait and see.

Work wise things were quiet. I did run into Casey this morning, when I wasn’t at my best, and on the ride back from the city when I was at my best. I prefer me at 5:00PM. Don’t you?

Things are basically back to normal (that word again) in the office. Big wig coming in next Tuesday, big enough for Greg Stevens to request that I wear a suit and tie. Now I don’t mind wearing a suit and tie, I would wear one everyday if possible. Already in my mind I am trying to figure out just what to wear.

I am also hoping that it won’t be 90 degrees like it promises to be tomorrow. The B-52’s are scheduled to do a free show in Cranford NJ on Saturday, but tropical storm Hannah is also scheduled to be in Cranford that day so that seems like it will be a wash out. It could all change but so far that is the forecast.

So I do have a new suit that I bought and just had it altered. Navy pinstripe, two button jacket, wool/cashmere blend. On sale at Macy’s. Had the trousers taken in, hemmed not cuffed and buttons added for braces, which are also known as suspenders. I’m looking forward to wearing it.

I have given up drinking soda, at least at home. I bought cranberry juice and seltzer. So far so good. I likes I likes.

I wonder what Tony Dow is doing. Why do I wonder about Tony Dow? We’re watching Scrubs and there was a guy who might have been Wally Cleaver but they would have given Tony Dow a line or two. Obviously I have run out of things to write about.

This was finished on Open Office by the way. Anyone try Google Chrome yet? How is it? What’s your opinion?
