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.

Today is Tuesday. It’s been a good day despite that George Bush was staying at the Waldorf Astoria around the block from my office which put my area in lockdown for a spell this afternoon. That was something. Tons of cops that I could see and there were probably quite a few that I couldn’t see, hidden away on rooftops. Yes, the chimp in charge flew into Manhattan and landed in the middle of Central Park via helicopter. He then headed up to Harlem to promote his No Child Left Behind nonsense in a charter school, surrounded by blocks of children that have been left behind.

Bill was at his folks last night so I was solo. I watched Heroes which you read about last night, and even watched the Daily Show so I could watch the Gilmore Girls, who I think, like the Sopranos are headed to the series finale. That would be something if Stars Hollow gets invaded by a bunch of goombahs on the lam, staying at the Dragonfly Inn. I could easily see Paulie Walnuts hitting on Rory. Both shows have dramatic story lines edged with comedy, I think that a crossover would work very nicely.

The day once again had temperatures in the upper 70’s. It was toasty warm this morning when I walked to work and of course I was drenched. That means that I will need to have an extra T-shirt on hand when I get to the office to change when I get to work. Luckily no one is actually in the office when I get there so I could probably change at my desk but I wouldn’t. I’d use the bathroom. I was busy enough today, Carla the receptionist was out today and Ted the chief financial officer was out as well. I was busier than ever and I didn’t mind. Vivek has been after me to clean out my desk so that I could have my own space, and the previous occupant who comes in at 7:30 to do some sort of work wold have her own cube.

I don’t think the previous occupant really works there, but helps out whomever she supported when she did. She doesn’t respond to my emails though and she does have information that I do need but she doesn’t communicate with me at all, just moves things on my desk. Also uses my computer and I know that because her log in screen is usually on my screen when I come in. She even left work for me to do but didn’t sign it so I really didn’t know who left it behind. And I tried to do it, but didn’t have any one I could ask about it. Plus I had plenty of my own work to do.

Due to the lockdown of the chimp I decided to run out and grab a quick lunch, no time for a salad hunt and no time at all for a Helen Hunt. Can’t stand her. Just wanted to add that for a long time and use it before it actually expired. I ate a burger and worked through my lunch and I really didn’t mind. I think I proved something today. I booked travel for a few partners, arranged for a shoe shine guy to come to the office a few times a week to shine shoes at $4.00 a pair, and no, I’m not getting a cut of it. Slowly but surely I think I’m developing a system, and if it doesn’t work out, well at least they’ll have nice shiny shoes.
