Why wait till later? Let’s begin compiling the George W Bush Presidential Library right now. Here, President Bush articulates his suspicions regarding Iraq’s announcement of “unconditional” inspections.
I tried to correct a few things over the weekend on my guestbook but did more bad than good. I was editing an older version of it, so when I uploaded the changes I ended up erasing the last four months of messages! (Not only did I screw up the editing but I also failed to make a backup copy before I enacted the change.) So, today, I spent a few hours trolling through my laptop, hoping to find a recent copy of the guestbook in my cache. Instead, I found a bunch of old updates from my old homepage. Since I’m such an incurable packrat I added these updates to the weblog. That’s why there are those seemingly random entries between June 2000 and October 2001. (I also added a couple old entries to my Buffett weblog.)
From the Associated Press, by way of CNN
We salute the career of Kim Hunter, who passed away today at the age of 79. Most famous for her roles in the films A Streetcar Named Desire and Planet of the Apes, she also starred in one of our favorites A Matter of Life and Death (aka Stairway to Heaven).
I’m not sure what I should write. Honestly, I don’t feel I can write anything suitable about this anniversary, but I hate to let the day go by unacknowledged here. Today looks like any other late summer day, but there’s a palpable somber feeling in the air. Walking the hallways of my building, strangers could not pass by without sharing a greeting or saying hello, as if reinforcing their mutual humanity. To me, in my selfish mind, that’s what September 11 really has been: a reminder of our own fragile mortality.
My dedication to this website has backfired on me. While striving to be as fat as I can be and then writing about it here on my homepage, I have now jeopardized my ability to type at all. Oh the irony! I have rendered myself so fat as to be unable to reach the top row of my keyboard. I can stretch my little arms all I want, I can lean against the computer table until a solid groove is cut into my wide girth, but I simply can not reach any of the number keys or the letters Q through P (and those bracket thingies). (I can’t reach the function keys either, but nobody uses those.)
Thing are looking good for my team in the SFG league on Yahoo!. Veteran first string powerhouse Danny DeVito will be featured in the season premiere of Ed on NBC, which will really bring my average up. This was a lucky break since DeVito hadn’t really been doing much for me previously. It might make up for my potentially misguided trade of Louie Anderson for Michael J Fox. Anderson was a steady performer because of his game show, but he has since left Family Feud and I needed Fox to strengthen the shortness dynamic of my bench. Fox underperformed in his Atlantis voicework, but he’d scored well with Stuart Little 2, so I’ve got high hopes he can really do well when it hits video stores this Fall.
Yesterday my cable modem was out; now, I can’t access the Internet here at work. But, luckily, I have my laptop and an AOL account to fall back on. Nothing will keep me from updating my homepage! Too bad I don’t have anything new to write. Construction ahead. Left lane closed, please merge.
