LEO: October 28, 2003 Astronet Daily Everything is a game to Leo. However, this lighthearted attitude doesn't make you casual or careless. Instead of being driven by duty and fear, you're motivated by pride and delight. You can and therefore you will. You feel as if you've finally become the person you always aspired to be. So now what? Enjoy this time without question. Perfection is a process rather than a fixed state. I have been feeling rather good about life lately. I don't necessarily think I'm there yet, but I'm certainly more on track than I've ever been. :-)

It's an old joke that people have kids so they can have an excuse to play with toys again. While certainly not the only reason - they can have a nice affect on your taxes, too! - it's definitely in the Top 10, and Isaac's 3rd birthday proved to be a veritable bonanza. After getting a bunch of Crayola art supplies, including a cool desk/easel, from us on Friday, we threw him a party at Chuck E. Cheese on Sunday with a bunch of his cousins and friends, and we...I mean HE, made out like a bandit! He got more…

Josh Beckett. 23 years old. Damn! Congratulations to the Marlins, 2003 World Series Champions. Hopefully they don't dismantle them again. Congrats to the Yankees, too. As much I hate them, especially Posada, you have to respect their talent. Except Posada. Screw him. Chinless fuck.

Came home early yesterday because India was pretty sick - feverish and throwing up - and caught up on some news/talk shows while she napped. On Buchanan & Press - one of those conservative vs. liberal never-ending volleyball matches - author Richard North Patterson and some flack from the Gunowners of America were debating gun laws and reform, triggered (no pun intended) partly by the release of the videotape of the Columbine kids shooting guns in the woods a few weeks before they shot up some of their high school classmates, then killing themselves. The gun flack kept coming back…

David Wells is going down tonight like a fat drunk in a bar fight with a midget. Oh, wait. That WAS David Wells! Let's go Marlins!!!!!!!!! In other news, Bard was a bust so I'm looking for something else to read. Got about 10 pages in and just couldn't get into Llywelyn's style of writing. Too bad, as I was hoping for something along the lines of an Irish version of Aztec. Grabbed Edwidge Danticat's Breath, Eyes, Memory off our bookshelf this morning and got through the first chapter on the train before giving in to a nap. Nothing to…

Someone at Quizilla is a sick bastard! What Would Your Serial Killer Name Be? What Would the Public Know You As? No one would really know your name. You would be called by what you do. For example, if you burn your victims to death all the time, you would be known as The Arsonist; or, if you knife them, you would be known as The Slasher. You would be the mysterious killer who strikes at sporadic times, and would be very difficult to catch. You might dress up and mask yourself when you perform your horrible killings. Your identity…

Review: American Gods by Neil Gaiman

An entertaining tale, creatively told, with a great premise, I felt a little underwhelmed by the end. Part of that is definitely the hype effect as I've heard so much about Neil Gaiman being this amazing writer that it was next to impossible for him to blow me away. The stakes were too high for that.
