Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

I am never able to be comatose before 2AM. Well, yesterday, but I was back up at 11pm and ready for a second go round.

God, my Dad's retirement payment was just reduced to 11% of what they were supposed to be getting per month. SO SUCKY!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Ah, I did this from 10 to 3 the other night. I hate that.

Going to try the sleepy/dreamy thing for the next while and a half... Sleep is such a pretty thing...

yeah Sue it is. 30 years with a company and his retirement check is less than half of what I bring home each month.

I didn't know they had found this out today after getting home from their visit here, so I called and it was so obvious that they both had been crying. MY PARENTS SHOULD NOT CRY EXCEPT FROM HAPPINESS!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

11%? That's fucked. I'd ask can they do that, but they evidently can. There's no commitment to an amount? I guess it's possible it could go up again, but...well, if it can, I wish that it does.

They especially shouldn't be crying so soon after your not-shower thing.

Went to a shower myself this morning. Very pleasant, glowy pregnant lady and doting husband who's pissed his wife doesn't exploit the "Well, I'm pregnant, so can I?" angle she could justifiably work. I reminded him he knew this about her when he married her, but he still seemed bothered.

Cutiehead.

Saw Fearless with Jet Li. It was indeed very much a final word on wu shu. I wish him the best of luck with his post-wu shu career.

Ate way too much food, but good ribs, and tres leches cake. And an expresso which really isn't affecting my sleepiness one bit.

Didn't have a chance to call my family today. I feel bad. I feel like I let most people down this weekend.

I just don't understand how things like that are legal, msbelle. They wouldn't be, if I was ruler of the world. Stupid free market economy.

Of course, leg warmers would also be illegal if I was ruler of the world.

Yeah, the whole backruptcy and then some government thingy taking over the retirement somehow and then deciding that is all they will pay out. I don't know how it is legal or how shit like the S&L crap and Enron and US Steel and now airlines and probably soon, GM can happen over and over again without people getting together and taking to the streets to burn the homes of CEOs and Board members and other slimey execs, but it does.

I need to go to bed. I think I need to do some relaxation exercises before I will reach sleep though.
