John McCain Was So Close to Winning My Vote

He said: "This aggression [against Georgia] is not acceptable."

It would have been a slam dunk for him if he instead had said: "THIS AGGRESSION WILL NOT STAND!!"

RIP David Foster Wallace

He was a phenomenally gifted writer, who hanged himself. Those of us wishing for half that talent couldn't understand what made him so unhappy.

Vicky Cristina Barcelona

Bravo! This movie was so romantic, and yet still side-splittingly funny. I'm enamored with Penelope Cruz's Maria Elena, the batshit crazy ex, who is hilariously acerbic and uncomfortable. Javier Bardem's bold Juan Antonio is the kind of lover I aspire to be.

Busy

I thought the blog is something I do when I have a lot of other stuff to do, but that's not turning out to be the case. I've been at this law school gig for about a week now, and I've been sans post the whole time. For the most part, life is bueno. I love my new pad, I've been cooking and baking and staying busy, I'm totally in the black for my sleep bank, and I'm on top of my assignments. And, I went surfing in SC for Labor Day, and it was tres fun. The waves were tiny-tiny, but I still managed to get one good ride.

Right this minute I'm feeling a little nuts because of my DSL. My equipment was supposed to come to me a week ago, and I still haven't received it, and it seems to take no less than an hour to get a customer service person on the line (either by phone or by live chat, or both), and once I do get a hold of one her answer inevitably is, it's scheduled to come today... !!! Now I see why Comcast are such anuses - this is their "competition."
