Huzzah for Friday

Ah, Friday at last.

Last night featured some working out, some movie watching, and drum practice.

I caught the Last Kiss with Zach Braff via Netflix. The subject matter is tragic: people screwing up their relationships with young children involved. It chewed on my heart strings, it did.

I practiced the drums a bit. In particular, I was taking an existing recording from a friend and trying to add drums to it. I was getting frustrated because something wandered off track compared to the click and the guitar rhythms. I'll have to mess around without the click track. I'll have plenty of time to mess around with this this weekend.

Something is whacky with my series 2 tivo and the integration with the Comcast box. Some of my recorded shows show up as the 'on demand cable" screen. I don't know how that can happen, so I'll have to noodle over that one.

MSNBC is cracking me up. A news item is the amount of press that is stalking Prince William's girlfriend Kate Middleton. Ugh. Why is this news to us?

As for Bush's proposal for Iraq: While I was not in favor of starting this invasion, we're there, and we kinda messed things up. So the question is: is it better for us to walk away or try and stabilize the area? If we leave, I suspect Iraq will not be our ally. Then again, I don't think they were ever meant to be one.

Well, i can't dwell on this further, time to prepare for work.

Wow.

Standards of journalistic decency be damned, some news articles should be allowed to have "Holy Fucking Shit" in the headline. This news item is no exception:

ST. LOUIS, Missouri (CNN) -- Two missing St. Louis-area boys, one of them missing since 2002, were found alive in a Kirkwood, Missouri, apartment, and a suspect was arrested, Franklin County Sheriff Gary Toelke said Friday.

That's right, one missing since 2002.

I'm so glad they have been found. I simply pray that they are able to heal from this experience and return to their rightfully regularly scheduled program of being a kid.
