BedBug
It's insincere too.
Hecate -- I hear what you're saying about being in town for the Inaugural. I have to confess that about 60% of it for me is being in DC on the day the evildoer gets the fuck out of my goddamned house.
And feeling the energy. If it's just too nuts, we'll abort and revert to plan B (sit in a warm house and raise many glasses to the end of an error).
Tdave
You are jealous and a poopyhead!
Deadthreaded:
Like with the Super Bowl, unless you've got tickets to the actual event, the best place to watch the Inaugural is going to be in front of your TV.

If actually watching the inauguration were the goal, I would agree.
There is celebrating to be done.

Wal-Mart worker dies after shoppers knock him down

ms f,
Well, that may be a possibility. Thanks much.
S'cold here tonight.
What, like in the 40s?
South-western Maine had ice that didn't melt all day for the first time this season.
Witnesses told the Daily News that before the store was closed, eager shoppers streamed past emergency crews as they worked furiously to save the worker's life.
I just realized that I am very hungry.
And that I am not greatly in the mood to cook.
Ergo, tonight's repast will be macaroni and cheese, along with a couple of frankfurters and some pickles.
Well, that may be a possibility. Thanks much.

I am supposed to go to a party tonight for my friend who is moving to Norway.
I don't wanna go, because I like staying home, so I'm grumpy.
But I really need to do this.
Parties don't hold the appeal for me they did years ago. I used to have a riot at parties. I just don't enjoy them any more. But this one is in a bar. Cigarettes, drunkeness, like that. I think I'm becoming a misanthrope.
However, I have to go to this one. I have to take Audrey to this one, too. I could be in Lansing with Barndog and Chicago Dyke, but I turned that down for this shin-dig, and I really need not complain.

I had a pork steak. It was too thick for what I wanted so I filleted it thinner for a quick pepper dry fry. Some Hoppin Johns and rice, petite brussell sprouts mixed with broccoli. Sliced tomato. Some crumbled cornbread dry fried with gravy poured over from the pork steak drippings. Full as a tick now drinking some iced tea.
Took me all of 20 minutes with only two pans used.

And, I can have some excellent Chinese takeout delivered, if I wanted to spend the money.
Really, though. Right now, it's just easier to boil water and push some buttons on the microwave.

Don't feel one bit badly about that.
EschCon II was supposed to happen in Chicago in 06, and try as I might, I was unsuccessful at launching that thing.
My helper that year wasn't that interested, and when I finally begged for someone to look at what I had pulled together, those folks agreed that it was probably too expensive.

Through my blog this year I was contacted by a director in NYC, a reporter from the Chicago Trib, a film maker from NZ and one from Reno, a journalism student from Fordham, a doc student in Alabama, a prof from Tufts, and a pair of research psychologists from the UK. Those people I could help. most of them wanted what amounted to free consulting, and I was happy to assist them.

Once the religious, the hunted and weary
Chasing the promise of freedom and hope
Came to this country to build a new vision
Far from the reaches of kingdom and pope
Like good Christians, some would burn the witches
Later some got slaves to gather riches
But still from near and far to seek America
They came by thousands to court the wild
And she just patiently smiled and bore a child
To be their spirit and guiding light

27 “ ‘TEKEL’—you have been weighed on the scales and found deficient.
28 “ ‘PERES’—your kingdom has been divided and given over to the Medes and Persians.”

Huzzah! Now can we find a biblical verse close to "who gives a shit?"
Hmmmm 1972 I was nine
WASHINGTON — The Labor Department is racing to complete a new rule, strenuously opposed by President-elect Barack Obama, that would make it much harder for the government to regulate toxic substances and hazardous chemicals to which workers are exposed on the job.
...
With the economy tumbling and American troops fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, President Bush has promised to cooperate with Mr. Obama to make the transition “as smooth as possible.” But that has not stopped his administration from trying, in its final days, to cement in place a diverse array of new regulations.
The Labor Department proposal is one of about 20 highly contentious rules the Bush administration is planning to issue in its final weeks. The rules deal with issues as diverse as abortion, auto safety and the environment. One rule would make it easier to build power plants near national parks and wilderness areas. Another would reduce the role of federal wildlife scientists in deciding whether dams, highways and other projects pose a threat to endangered species.
Just fucking resign, you disgraceful piece of shit.

Hey DWD the books are here.
Haven't had a chance to look at them as I was sick today.
Thank you!!
I went out at six today to buy three days worth of food I like for the remainder of my stay here. By the time I got home I didn't feel like eating any of it and wished I had just ordered a pizza instead. So I'm drinking beer for dinner.

bill buckner, i'm stranded hear at work for another two hours (after the pre-thanksgiving frenzy, it's like watching paint dry tonight and that's more exhausting than being completely overwhelmed).
i don't know why exactly, but neil young generally leaves me completely cold, regardless of his style of the moment.
it isn't just the voice, either. i love lots of other performers who sound equally hideous.

Early data shows strong Black Friday
CHICAGO (AP) - The holiday shopping season got off to a surprisingly solid start, according to data released Saturday by a research firm. But the sales boost during the post-Thanksgiving shopathon came at the expense of profits as the nation's retailers had to slash prices to attract the crowds in a season that is expected to be the weakest in decades.
Sales during the day after Thanksgiving rose 3 percent to $10.6 billion, according to preliminary figures released Saturday by ShopperTrak RCT Corp., a Chicago-based research firm that tracks sales at more than 50,000 retail outlets. Last year, shoppers spent about $10.3 billion on the day after Thanksgiving, dubbed Black Friday because it was historically the sales-packed day when retailers would become profitable for the year.

I, on the other hand, can go on for hours debating what is the definitive version of "Cortez The Killer." (Best cover? Bottle Rockets, hands down.) But that's rock 'n roll. It's the way it works.

Venus is the brightest object (well, 'cept for the Moon), Jupiter is second, even though it's a fuckzillion more miles away. It's just so goddamned big!
I like Neil Young. I don't mind his voice at all and he's a great lyricist.

That's what I really like about it. It's so freeing to be able to supply your own emphasis. It's kind of like commenting performance art, and you're part of the performance.

It's pretty bad, though there is some nice burnage and pillage action.

RoF actually has one (1) redeeming scene which is the only thing worth watching whatsoever in the entire film. Because almost everything of our civilization was destroyed, cinema is remembered in cosplay, and a new, soon to be incinerated generation is introduced to Star Wars by their off-duty guardians acting out the confrontation wherein Luke learns that Vader is his father.

British amateur astronomers say they have a new challenge -- spotting an astronaut's lost tool bag orbiting the Earth, to be visible until early next month.
The backpack-sized object was lost by astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper during a space walk last week and should be visible from Britain with a reasonably strong telescope or pair of binoculars through the first days of December, astronomers told The Times of London.
The best opportunities for British stargazers to spot the tool bag, which is 250 miles above the Earth and traveling at 15,000 mph, would be early Wednesday evening and on Friday, the newspaper said. On Wednesday it was expected to be in the southern sky at a 72-degree angle to the horizon and on Friday at a 77-degree angle.
Great moments in understatement from the Wikipedia entry on Reign of Fire:
"Though the end left an opening for a sequel, there has been no news of one."

he's manageable with bacon bribes

Then is must be Venus I'm seeing on the horizon. It is so big and bright. Come to think of it, I have noticed Jupiter too but Venus is totally stealing the show so I haven't paid much attention to it.
