I slept in until 9am this morning. That was most pleasant.

I reviewed some of my Tivo programs...I will have to choose between Angel and West Wing, for they are on at the same time. Pity.

I practiced my drums, bathed, and now I must head to work. After work, drum lesson. After the drum lesson a few hours, which may involve going to sprint pcs and looking at a new cell phone or just a new battery for my current one. The phone is behaving oddly. Time for a photo-cam? Heh heh heh.

After that, do Davis to pay my friend for the Sarah Mclachlan Tix he's buying. Then to work again to take care of stuff that must be done after hours. Then home.

Not too exciting, considering I'll be back at work Sunday morning. Overtime cometh, however, as well as the huuuuge paycheck next week featuring my bonus. 25% of that is going right into my retirement. Another percentage off for taxes, and the rest for my pleasure. I think it's time I get my yard done. Really. It should happen....

Made from lips and assholes of dead Dokken fans

...that was what a friend of mine described as the principal ingredients of Arco Arena hot dogs.

That just makes me giggle.

I'm running a script here at work, and waiting for it to finish. This job tonight could go very easily, or very badly.

I'm hopin' for easy.

My friend (Mr. Hotdog Analyst) found out how to buy the Mclachlan Tix early. We're in section 122, row N, I believe. Tickets are purchased, Ms. Tao.

Work and Reagan

There are a few folks celebrating Ronald Reagan's birthday today, and touting him as the greatest President of this century. I don't buy it. As an economics major, I never appreciated his supply side economics, and it really didn't work that well. In fact, Reagan had to back peddle on supply side economics.

What is interesting to note the disparity between the rich and the poor grew, the deficit ballooned, 13 million more children fell below the poverty line, education began its decline. The average income of the top 1% increased by 70% and the average income of the poor went down by about 10%-20%. Does anyone remember that David Stockman under Reagan tried to make ketchup classified as a vegetable? How about Iran-Contra? How about ignoring Aids? And for being a fella who was so anti-government, the government did not seem any smaller after his term.

While surfing the net, I found this article, which struck me as intriguing.

Why are people so hell bent to call someone the greatest president, anyway? Where is there a standard criteria for this? Liberals and Conservatives are going to have a different take, and furthermore, each president has a different slough of problems they have to deal with. And he's only one third of the branch of government. To credit him with the success of our nation is to suggest that there is no balance of power in the government. That is a dangerous state of affairs indeed. Currently, of course, that may well be the case.

Tick, tick, tick...

Well, phase I of three phases for this telephone station reprogramming is almost complete.

*yawn*

Let me see where I left that Dr. Pepper...

Feel free to entertain me folks. Feel real free. It's just me and the Russian cleaning staff here.

In the immortal words of Jon Bonjovi, I'm half way there, livin' on a prayer. (Insert "whoas" where needed).

I'm listening to my ipod, the saving grace of being "home alone" in a large office.

The song: A Case Of You

The Chorus: "I could drink a case of you."

This song comes off really sensual. However, it would be a real disappointment if the subject of her song was a case of Two-buck Chuck.

Now back to work for me.
