Relaxed

Finally, a relaxing weekend where I stayed within the city limits for the first time in a while. I'm closing out the weekend the same way I opened it up: relaxed, slow, in front of the TV.

Hmmm...what the hell happened this weekend?

- Check this song: Geto Boys - "Fuck a war." On a drunken tip from Jacob, I have this to offer. It was made about the first Gulf War, yet fittingly, it's still relevant to this current conflict.
- I have sucessfully avoided watching network coverage of the war more than 20 minutes at a time. I'm staying off the war scripts and Madison Avenue imagery. Most of my information still comes from written internet print.
- On that note, Amusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman is a damn good book about how, simply put, television rots minds. I may or may not have talked about this book earlier.
- If you forgot to set your clocks ahead by the time you read this...you need help.
- Marquette was blown out of the tourney...the Sucks blew a 19 point lead to the Bulls...the Brewers still have not won a game...Sports! Sports! Sports! Sports!!!!
- The Girl came to town, kicked my ass at Mancala, cooked me dinner, and it was all good.
- She also lent me A Bright Shining Lie: John Paul Vann and America in Vietnam. This baby won the Pulitzer and I'm going to read it.
- The Girl is a pretty good influence on me.
- Winter Storm Warning? On April 6th? A hell of a lot of snow is expected in the next two days. I thought we 'sprung ahead' because it's supposed to be Spring...what is this caper?
