Another Day In Paradise

A Cruel Mistress

2005-01-15T11:02:00.000-08:00

I read somewhere the other day (can't remember where or when -- bad, bad blogger!) that keeping this blogging stuff up day in and day out was tough. Tell me about it! I just don't know if I can do it.

Prime numbers

2005-01-13T23:44:00.000-08:00

Also, I think I should post in prime numbers, that is 1, 2, 3 or 5 posts per day. Never 4, never 6. But maybe 7 if I'm feeling really prolific. I don't think I'll ever have to worry about going over 7, because I'm sure not going to type enough to hit 11, I'll tell ya what!

Crap, this post looks like something protein wisdom would reject, doesn't it? At least I got the link in. I'm a link-whore!

Or not

Maybe it's insulting to think of Acidman right off the bat when I start writing about drunk-blogging. After reading his blog for awhile though, I always think there's an alchoholic beverage somewhere nearby when he's banging on the keys.

New Idea For Blogging

2005-01-13T23:11:00.000-08:00

I've been mulling for quite some time various ideas to make an unique (read money making) blog in the vast blogosphere. I think I've hit on a winner tonight. Drunk blogging! Ok, I'm not drunk at present, but after 1 1/2 martinis, I can see the future already.

Ok, martini blogging... What's the perfect martini? Tonight, I'm using Bombay Sapphire Gin and Martini & Rossi Vermouth. Ratio: 2 to .5, shaken with crushed ice and poured into a chilled martini glass. Served with provolone and pepperoni. (Screw the olives!) For my delicate sensibilities, I'm halfway in the bag.

Let's see now... I think we need a salient point here... and a link, gotta have a friggin' link! Ok, here we go... Althouse, sweet goddess of the north... It's a desperate cry for attention. This law-babe needs a man and she needs him right now. If I wasn't married already, I'd be there in a flash. But I'm taken, very, very taken. Ok, Blogosphere, it's time to line up and be counted. There are scads of single men in the ether, one of you has what it takes to satisfy the needs of the Blond Law Goddess Of The North. Email, dammit!

Ok, that ought to do it. Drunk, slobbering over a dame and barely intelligent. I think that's an idea the blogosphere is ready to embrace. And oh yeah, zero carbs too! Now if I can just get Acidman to give me a link... oh yeah... the infamy!

Another Oliver Stone "conspiracy"

Althouse gets it just right about this pretentious jerk. I suppose I'll rent the video for the battle scenes, but you couldn't pay me to sit through Stone's Alexander in a theater.

Go for it, Carlos!

New Blogs

2004-11-15T23:06:00.000-08:00

I've added a couple of new* ones to the bloglist at the left -- Llama Butchers & Incoherant Ramblings. Check them out if you care to.

*New to me, that is

This made me want to dip snuff!

"You mean he's got two of 'em"

It's nice to have Peggy Noonan back in the WSJ. She stopped writing there while she helped in the effort to re-elect the President. It's refreshing to read her articles again.

My Wish List

2004-11-10T21:18:00.000-08:00

How come when I'm browsing Amazon.com's list of suggested items they come up with for me, it includes a nose-hair trimmer? Do they figure I'm some old fart with unsightly hair sprouting from inappropriate places? Well... I am but how the heck did they find out? Maybe I do need one, but I'm not putting it on my wish list.

Now shuttup and let me have my new job!!!

Adios, John

I'm not the only one who thought Ashcroft did a fine job.

More Coastal Depression

Russ Smith is relieved.

Update: More here. The Left is really becoming unhinged. Aw well...

Boosh!

This made me cackle.

Michael Medved states the obvious, but does it oh so well.

How about that Sore-Loser Party?

If this guy is so smart, how come he's on our side?

Is this The End Of Innocence?

I'm listening to Bruce Hornsby tonight. Not my usual cup of tea, but he's not half bad. I think after listening to the album currently playing however, I may take a two or three month break... Jeffrey Gaines though... That's my kind of pop...

Sure, reading the VDH piece below and taking it to heart could be the best thing the Dems could do for themselves.

On the other hand...

Election Fallout

2004-11-08T22:06:00.000-08:00

All the Dems wringing their hands, scratching their heads and blaming the theocons for their recent drubbing should read this... or not. I wouldn't mind if they don't take good advice.

I love it when an entire post disappears before I publish it. I guess the thing is to save it locally and upload. grrrrrrrrrr... Ok, here it is again.

If you've never read Ace Of Spades, get over there right now. Especially if you're a fan of The Apprentice on NBC. Here's the url:

Ed. Can I be a little slicker on that link. Maybe if I said to get over and read this snazzy satire. Oh yeah, that's the ticket. This html stuff is loads of fun (rolling eyes).

First Hurdle

2004-11-04T08:40:00.000-08:00

I realize that these first posts will only be of interest to me or perhaps someone going through the same blog-birth-pains. After some effort, I have a blogroll going! Ok, now on to finishing it out... I guess the spell-checker doesn't work in this window. Nuts.

Ed. - I wonder if I'll still be into this after the pain meds wear off... Now up to L on the roll... Can't... stop... using... ellipses...

Ed. (9pm) - Ok, finished with the roll... Man, that's a lot of cut'n'paste. And I haven't even punditized anything yet. Well, tomorrow.

One Toe in the Pool

2004-11-04T08:06:00.000-08:00

Now that the blogfest of the election is over, I guess it's time to get in the water, so to speak. I've been reading blogs for about a year and mulling starting my own for almost that length of time. So, what do I think I can add to the blogosphere that is relevant or interesting to others? I'm not sure, even after thinking about it all this time, but surely I can come up with some tidbits that are as good as the blogs I read on a daily basis.

I guess the first order of business is to get organized on this thing though. Create a blogroll! That's the ticket. Ok, learning curve, here we come...
