feeling confused?

what's up fronds?   so happy 9/11 to you, that's the day that just went by and how we date in the non u.s.a world: November 9th.............

was just having an after work beer with a basque guy from the job..... careful to drink only 2 light beers and stay under the 0.05 alcohol limit.......... there's no traffic at night so pretty breezy to get around

the conversation was pretty random, also with some strangers there, but at some point the basque brought up gypsies and that brought to mind some memories from living in Murcia, spain, around 20 years ago --- then the conversation went to gun control in Australia and the martin Bryant port Arthur massacre and then I remembered being in Murcia at the time and my date, Elsa, broke the news to me, she was really shocked that that could happen......... when I got home there was some book on the table that someone had left lying around a playground recently, Disney kids' book: meet Elsa

that help your confusion any?

who's confused? all the media reporting on the u.s. elections, that's for sure....... except maybe fox news........ time for them to 'rearrange the window dressing in the shopfront', as Nietzsche would say.......

this is why, despite some of these journos making over 200k a year..... I do not envy their jobs: report on dopey polls, incorrectly, for months, act surprised when polls are wrong, report on a massacre of fags in florida....... comment on beyonce............ there's a pattern of lameness there......... still there's a lot of good articles being written........ the ny times and Washington post have both had interesting articles recently, but none whatsoever on politics..............the only intelligent punditry on politics has been from benji and karl rove.......... everyone else is just astounding dummies, completely out of sync with reality and the way the world is changing.......it's really astounding, kind of, it would be if it wasn't, allegedly, according to an unnamed source

political journalists.......... probably as a kind of bellweather state, we could take paul Krugman is the most clueless and then put all of nytimes behind him and then Washington post as the dumbest........ congratulations to usa today, surprisingly, they were able to keep their heads and keep it somewhat real........ disappointing to see how hopelessly fixated fox news were with their so-called 'poll's -- really had to tune out a lot

anyway, at least at the bar with the basque guy and co, they had some sailboat racing on the tv....... big spinnakers and stuff, and without them sailing into head-winds, that stuff is awesome

time to get some sleepy poops --- 29 days til the mother in law arrives, pros: less demanding childcare work, more time to sleep in and possibly get drunk (not my thing though, really, but maybe a little partying wouldn't go astray, who knows?), not having to live with her due to renting a room somewhere else.........cons: long train rides to work instead of breezy 10-15 minute drives, occasionally missing kids with their shenanigans - probably not that much, missing out on time with the wifi while she's pregnant -- i'll probably just sleep over...........it's going to be hectic: three kids, fingers crossed.......... if it's a girl i'd definitely call her Elsa if my wife agreed to it --- no idea what the baby would be called --- should it come into the world okay to begin with

time to sleep
