Just one for today: Today is Wifey's birthday! Though I have only been here for the last 3, I am allowed the honour of seeing all the rest of them. For enriching my life beyond measure, for giving me strength when I had none, for letting me into your heart, and for being my friend and lover through times trying and wonderful, I give thanks to you, the most wonderful woman in the world. I love you beyond words, and hope you have a marvellous birthday full of happiness and joy!

How many times do we need to hear it???

(08-10) 10:27 PDT Washington -- President Bush called the foiled plan to blow up passengers aboard U.S. bound airplanes "a stark reminder that this nation is at war with Islamic fascists'' as the U.S. imposed new security restrictions on domestic flights and issued its highest terrorism alert for flights from Great Britain. - San Francisco Chronicle

I'm gonna say this slow, so even idiots like Dubya and McCain get it:

WE...ARE...NOT...AT...WAR...

We cannot BE at war with ideas. Only states. Not 'rogue' states. Not people. Not Religions. Only States or Countries. And even that takes a Declaration of War from Congress, which Dubya has been suspiciously NOT calling for. BECAUSE EVEN HE KNOWS IT'S DUMB AS FUCK TO SAY WE ARE AT WAR!!!

Until the US understands that tolerance and nternational aid will do more than any number of daisy cutters, the country is doomed. It's tragic and deplorable that the so-called leadership of the country cannot understand that some people won't be cowed and bullied into doing what we want. It BOGGLES MY MIND that the American electorate, supposedly the most privileged and powerful people in the world, does not rise up and DEMAND that someone instigate Impeachment proceedings against the Evil Halfwit who is doing everything he can to destroy the ENTIRE WORLD...

It makes me so angry I honest to God start crying. For me, for my culture, my country, the world. I just don't fucking get it.

Does anyone else find it truly putrid and awful that Dennis Miller, the man whose sole claim to fame is delivering fake news in the 80s, has managed to almost kill MNF and now is going to be a "contributor" spouting more uber conservative views on HANNITY and liberal to be named later?

He wasn't funny then and still isn't. At least i don't have to watch, I suppose...

But why keep giving him chance after chance after chance???

Haircut 100

So there is a sad development that makes me sure that I am getting older...I got my hair cut today, as you do, and when finished it was clean, shorter, and I felt fine. Wifey thought it was fine, and there are no complaints.

Well, I was out cleaning the yard, and something happened. It was weird, but I thought nowt of it, until it happened again about 2 minutes later. I called out to Wifey and asked her, "I need you to be totally honest...Does the balding patch on my head with this new haircut look like a sunflower? Cuz two bees have landed on my head in the last 3 minutes..."

When she stopped laughing, she admitted that maybe, yes, it might.

Bloody age...

Is there a more worthless piece of crap on television than Big Brother 7? I couldn't stand it when the people were mildly interesting, but it truly sucks and needs to be cancelled this year. It's a terrible excuse for awful television. And I liked Greg the Bunny and Street Hawk. At least they had some charm. BB doesn't. It needs to go.

hmmm

well, Germany was beaten. I think I have to revise my picks as follows:

Final: France 1 - 2 Italy, for the simple reason that the Italians have been through so much this year and I think it's destiny or some shit.

Off to Macro to buy glasses and a plug-in griddle, about which I am probably overly excited. I had one in california and Loved it; we used it all the time and it's fabu. But over here they were either 1) hard to find, or 2) very expensive. Now macro has one that looks good quality and it's on sale, so I am best pleased. the glasses look nice too, and they will round out the collection we started in Hexham two years ago!

Wifey is off teaching tonight which will give me ample time to get laundry and things sorted out. Hopefully everything goes smoothly. Tomorrow we do Metty (where we see Pirates of the Caribbean 2 - very excited to see Johnny and Keira...), Costco and Asda, then get the tires looked at, then to the valley for last minute things. (Might do that today actually...)

Friday we drop Biff off with Vic's mom and then away to Wales for the family holiday!! :-) It's gonna shower all week, but hoefully there will be some sun too. Wifey has come in and is now giving me a head massage....Mmmmmm....

Right...Off to Macro!

You have a knack for details and dialogue. You can really make a character come to life.
Chances are, you enjoy creating all types of stories. The joy is in the storytelling.
And nothing would please you more than millions of people seeing your story on the big screen!

Buckled down to actual graft today, and have found it doesn't suit me. I am doing my test run on 10 organizations for my presentation next month, and I think that 12 criteria are simply too many. It is taking me about 2-2.5 hours to do each one, and given that eventually I will need to do around 300-400 of them if all goes well, I have to figure a way to be more economical with the time. I think I am going to finish these 10 and then put together a report on how to cut what isn't needed...And there is a lot of it. I think the biggest bitch I have is the sheer lack of sense that web designers have...I hate them...

Quote from Wifey in the background talking to a TV program: "How do you have to shave? You're 9 years old!!"

I need to write more also on working out a system of weighing the relevence of each organization. Ah well, battles for another day.

Got up late today after watching the whole Red Sox game last night and felt groggy all morning. We booked the trip to London on the train and tonight I have to book the hotel. I'll do that now. Hang on...Done.

Right. I'm off to go have some yogurt. Mmmm...Yogurt...

No really. He is. He needs to be reminded who has been drinking milk and who will kick his ass 'less he shuts his cakehole.

Sadly, the little Poochy that Wifey and I liked so much was rehomed on Friday, so that decision was made for us. I want a kitten... Off to watch some mindless TV and kip.

Wifey has a serious problem. She has now been playing Top Spin for the better part of Monday night and Tuesday. I had a turn too, but she shooed me off the xbox and has camped out in front of it. I am not allowed to distract her at all, and she gets violent if you attempt to talk her off. The problem really starts, though, because she takes the game SO seriously.

She started shouting FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK!!! when I was in the bedroom, and I thought she had injured herself in some way, but it turns out she had just lost her serve...

Help...

Just watched the Shearer testimonial game at St. James' against Celtic. It was touching and wonderful. Brings a tear to the eye.

Now to get ready for Sox-Yanquis.

Buwahahahahahahahahahaha!!
