-I acquired a headache.
-Myself and a friend shut down the Naked Lounge, for the second time.
-I acquired two books on home-brewing: one for mead, and one for beer.

Today...

-I worked out and made further progress in my tolerance for jogging.
-Did some laundry, but failed to fold.
-Hooked up with Ms. Tao for business brainstorming.
-Slept in until a super late 8:30am, thanks to those flying Walenda cats of mine.
-Practiced the drums.

Soon...
I shall get my rump to bed, where sugarplums shall dance in my head, and cats will find their way to cuddling up beside me.

Tomorrow...
-I plan on jogging again
-Must take Sascha to the vet
-Fold those clothes!
-Rework my resume and forward it to my amigo for potential job opportunity.
-Investigating 20qt stock pot acquisition...I can find one on the web for 96 bucks, or so far, locally for 120... Decisions. The web might win.
-Practice those drums!
-Take back one silencer pad, and get one that fits properly.
I had this idea for an roleplaying game adventure...what if I were to transport a party into the world of....Deliverance? I guess that would classify as horror, especially since most of my gamer buddies are men. Heh...

I found myself annoyed at Peter J. Wallison's op-ed piece entitled "Bush's Reagan Moment".

And he faced a senior staff that did not support him. "Now my team is pushing for a tax increase to help hold down the deficits," he recorded. "I'm being stubborn. I think our tax cuts will produce more revenue by stimulating the economy. I intend to wait and see some results." Eventually, of course, he saw them. He shrugged off advice to change his economic and foreign policies. By the end of his second term, Reaganomics had created 18 million jobs and the Soviet Union was on its way to collapse.

I'm not sure Reagonomics had anything to do with the Soviet Collapse. And who cares if 18 million jobs were created if the wealthy 1%'s income went up by 70%, and everyone else's income effectively decreased? It is a known that we are working more for essentially the same wage as one might have earned back in the days of the single wage-earner family.

Apparently Mr. Wallison wrote a book called, "Ronald Reagan: The Power of Conviction and the Success of His Presidency". Yes, I remember his power of conviction with the Iran-Contra scandal.

I don't recall.

This guy appears to be saying that Bush should just stick to his convictions and disregard public opinion, and he'll come out ahead. The problem is, the public isn't the ones who put Bush in power, really. So of course he should disregard public criticism. He's been doing that all along, if he hasn't been manipulating it through fear and deception.

I'm becoming stuck in the trap of "I love the 80s strikes back" on VH1.

Help me.
