SARS Tard, Don, OK
The redeye shot is from our visit to NYC last year for the rugby match. It was taken by a digital camera in a poorly lit pool. It's probably the best redeye shot I've ever seen of myself, and worthy of posting.
Don lives. I called him the other day to ask how he is. He's a bit despondent now that his anal polyp mining business has folded, but otherwise he's OK.
The SARS-Tard is getting better, although he's plagued with a dry hack. We may go out Monday night to Fado to worship furry woofy Northern Irish guy (what's his name again?), who's apparently the emcee of a trivia game show there. Chrisafer...wanna go?
Chrisafer gets on the soapbox regarding DC voting rights, or lack thereof. I can't make a direct link because his linkage is fucked up, but it's the part about Taxation Without Representation. Are all you bleeding heart liberals out there aware that we are not part of the democratic process? Nobody seems to give a shit about it in this pro-Democracy era. Go check it out.
Yesterday I felt good about work for the first time since I took the job in January. At one point I was able to assert myself about my duties and tasks. Later, I created tangible document, something I produced by my hands, which is important to me. I have autonomy, which as a control freak pleases me. I was also not standing somewhere watching a machine. That drives me crazy. And I have a weekend off, which helps.
I watched the Madonna interview on VH-1, and the premiere of her edited video. Yawn to both the song and the video. I'm sure the first version of the video was better, as the current one sucks. I did spot the Kazakstan national flag in the background though.
I've found a refuge for the weekend, and I'm not telling anyone where I'm going. I'm outta here Saturday morning.
After Saturday's match, I've been having shoulder and hip pain. Part of it is due to the big hit I took, but I know some of it is due to not having worked out my legs at the gym. This pain hit me long ago when I played water polo, and all the physical therapist could do was to readjust my joints and advise working the legs out better. Judging by the bird legs in the photos, that's what I should do.

Hey, I watched the Madonna video too. The song is cool but the video was such a cop-out. The rest of the album is actually really cool and innovative. This world is not ready for her to do this though.
