The 3rd and 4th horsemen have arrived...


Steve Nash got his hair cut. No longer looking like that guy who hangs out in front of the local gas station waiting for the high school girls to pass him as they buy a couple of Cokes and a Snickers bar, Steve has used a couple of his million bucks plus salary to take a trip to a Quick Cuts. I think it is an improvement, still I also think it is yet another sign of the "endtimes."

The 4th horseman? Well, let me just say this...they said they put a frickin' pacemaker in Sawyer's chest and then they shook a cage till the bunny inside passed out. FRAK YOU, LOST!!!! This week? It seemed like it was going to be slightly more sane except for the fact that Sayid is back and no one seems to wonder about how things went on the boat...you know the ONLY FRAKKIN' BOAT THEY HAD!!!! Hmmm...we're on an island, perhaps a boat would be useful. Oops. Plus, where the hell are Sun and Jin? Did they take a sidetrip to a spa or something? A little miniature golf? ARRRGHHH!!!! Plus, they went to the trouble of bringing in "reality" by showing Jack that the Red Sox won a World Series and this week we get the crazy ass black smoke monster thing that tosses Eko (sp?) around like he's a Malibu Barbie with a deathwish.

Elections can't come soon enough for me. As if the phone calls and mail weren't bad enough, today at work we got a fixture delivered to the store. The driver, after I sign the paperwork, takes the time to show me an article about how our governor wants to help immigrants get home loans and apparently this would include illegal immigrants. As he put it, "I don't think these people should get anything. They shouldn't be here. We need to get them out of the country. Blah, blah, blah." He wanted to know if I wanted a copy of the article to hand out, etc. Flippin' hell. Seriously, enough is enough. I politely told him thanks, but no and left it at that.

Along those lines, sort of, Jon Stewart is the man. Last night on The Daily Show he uttered the perfect phrase. "John Kerry...losing elections he's not even in." It's sad that everyone is in an uproar over what some dufus with not that much power in the party said in a lame attempt at a joke and the true issues are swept under the rug. Nothing like letting the opposing party hand you a media diversion practically gift wrapped.

Finally, I came up with a few more songs to add to my "timeless tunes" list from the last entry. Still hoping to get some feedback from you people.

Someone To Love--Queen
Welcome To The Jungle--GNR
With Or Without You--U2
Just Like Heaven--The Cure

OH! Two more quick things.

I am an idiot. I left my oven on for about 10 hours today. I made muffins for breakfast then didn't bother to turn off the oven. No wonder it was so warm in the kitchen when I came home tonight. DUH. I bet the heat didn't turn on once in my apartment today.

Nine Inch Nails will have a new album out sometime in April. I am very happy. They are also going on tour. Europe, etc. first starting in Feb. Hopefully they will be stateside come Spring/Summer.

READ IT:
David Sedaris--Holidays On Ice This is my lunchtime reading at work. It's very funny, but depressing because I wish I could be that funny.

WATCH IT:
Ugly Betty on ABC. I love America Ferraro (sp?). She was great in Real Women Have Curves and she really shines in this comedy. Although, it's a bit of a sad statement when someone who is cute like America has some braces added and her hair is a bit frumped up and she suddenly becomes "ugly."

HEAR IT:
Soundgarden--"Jesus Christ Pose" Caught this the other day on the radio and it made me remember grunge in all its flannel glory.
