Let's see, what's new...?
Not a whole hell of a lot.
I've just been catching up on reading and reacquainting myself with some of the more unique aspects of Midwestern living... like obeying the speed limit. My God, how do these people stand driving so frickin' slow??? And let me tell you about the theaters: I don't know about you, but I love the rumble of a good THX theater. Out here, though, there's no point. Such a cacophony would only scare the old folks.
On the other hand, people are who they are back here. There's no pretense. There's no trying to outdo one another... aside from their Christmas lawn displays. And hey, they do have a lot of love. I've never seen so many yellow ribbons in my life. This is definitely America.
On the other hand, Lincoln, Nebraska is vying for their own claim to coastal-style assholery by banning smoking in public establishments. ...Yeah, that'll last. I'm sorry, but if it's a private business on privately held land, it ain't for the government to say what goes on therein. You don't like smoke, don't patronize the business. Let the free market reign and fuck big brother.
OK, that's my rant for the day. Sorry, I've had to go without a cigarette since last Wednesday...
So I got my laptop's CD drive replaced so I could start using my ipod... and wouldn't ya know it, that seems to be the least of the 'puter's problems. It still ain't workin'. So I have a nifty ipod but I can't do nuthin' with it. Murphy's Law remains in full effect. You'd think the fact that my Dad was adopted might have allowed for at least a more deluded form of the curse, but no... It's all in the name.
What else...?
I was watching a "2004 in review" type program last night... And right after the story on the first private space flight was a moving piece on the "Friends" series finale... Making me think, yeah, it's just about time for a big comet to come and put our priorities straight.
Again, sorry... Need a cigarette.
