The Long Winters

but you have REAL footie!

i'd even help support your team, except that i could never wear all that orange.

i made way too much of the candied yams, btw, but sadly I don't think they'd post well.

so ladies, DON'T TRUST MEN WITH BEARDS. Now see, that's weird, coz I seem to find men with beards only *ever so slightly* more trustworthy. It's the ones with the carefully manicured facial topiary I don't trust, like the goatees and the Soul Patches or whatever those are called. I need a little mo...

Today I was all wistful and pathetic on the way to work, coz I take Casual Carpool to the Transbay Terminal, where a lot of homeless folk spend the night as the weather gets worse. Lots of worker bees were already gone, and the city was silent. The contrast of between folks who have left for the hol...

Well, during the campaigns the WSJ was definitely pro-bush, made painfully clear when they barred Farnaz Fassihi (thier foreign correspondent in Iraq) from writing until after the elections. We'll see if that still holds true as the dollar falls. I'm still looking for a great newspaper. Anyone read...

I saw that too. Sorry, I've got hard copy only too. (You have to pay MORE for the online subscription too! A lot more! Stupid WSJ. Did you just start reading it everyday? It's terribly pro-Bush biased.) Yeah, i noticed that, is that lame or what? I don't know that I'd typify the WSJ "pro-Bush" so m...

Hey Liesbeth:

This story (and the fallout from it) are a front page feature on the Wall Street Journal this morning. Access online cost $$...does anyone have a subscription that can post it? I'm going to get one...eventually...

Otherwise I can send you hard copy if you'd like to see it...

The Things They Carried, Tim O'Brien AJ rocks! There are two halloween costumes that I desperately, desperately want to pull off. One is the little boy named "Smut" from Drowning By Numbers (one of my all time fave movies)...and the other is a certain blonde cashmere sweater wearing girlfriend turn...

LOL. Wow. That's one frightening interpretation of my turn of phrase. You been reading a lot of JG Ballard lately?

No farm animals, no parking meters. Call me a old fashion girl if you must...

okay, maybe this is just coz it sort of impacts my job (in a sorta legal precedent way), but is anyone else following the Disney-Eisner-Ovitz trial? I guess I can't make fun of people obsessed with reality tv shows anymore, seeing as i've been reading the Wall Street Journal every day in a pathetica...

Thank you, darling. Yes...it's true. I can't remember the last time this Squid rode the White Horse. (Now there's an image.) Oh, wait. Yes I do. It was that "White Xmas" where I started hoovering blow with a vengeance on the 23rd of Dec. and woke up on NYE with a full face of makeup and the top of a...

Japan has all kinds of music, some very good rock and roll and some of the best jazz I've ever heard (though I'm not a jazz afficiando by any means) But I'll miss my American music. As the Violent Femmes say, I like all kinds of music, but I like American music best. Eh, American music ain't goin' ...

What with the current president and all, I go out of my way to betray this country _every goddamn day_.

didn't the nihilists pour gasoline on themselves in the town square and set themselves on fire?

we could try that. though all that burning gas probably wouldn't be too great for the animals, either...

I can't believe that I'm posting this, given my huge fear of sea creatures and all, but here goes: Cocaine haul hidden in giant squid. "LIMA, Peru (Reuters) -- Peruvian police say they have seized nearly 1,540 pounds (700 kilograms) of cocaine hidden in frozen giant squid bound for Mexico and the U...

More squiddy-wampus: m Egad! "According to scientists, squid have overtaken humans in terms of total bio-mass. " Squid world take-over! Glad to know we have a friend on the inside. Yes, I'll try and put in a good word for you both when the "landings" begin. Nothing to be alarmed about, I'm sure...

Winter!

(Spoken like a true Californian, who only has to experience one should she choose to.)

Erm, that's disturbing. perhaps mccartney covered it? it's a gerry and the pacemakers tune...i'm almost positive...

on a happier note, i gots plenty of lawyer type pals who have donated their time and svcs to the poll watching process. a good thing with all the random "challenges" that are apparently going down...
