Acentos, hosting and potential drama
Tonight is Acentos and I’m feeling a little giddy already. When Oscar and Fish asked me to host tonight’s show a couple of months back, I didn’t think twice. I was honored! Now, the nerves are starting to kick in a little bit as it’s only eight hours away. I haven’t hosted anything in while
Rock the Vote Debate
After a promising start, the Rock the Vote debate petered out into yet another convoluted forum where, not unlike slam, cliched soundbites won out over depth and I suspect anybody that is even moderately aware of the candidates walked away not really hearing anything new and, more unfortunately, not seeing enough to sway them in,
Rolling Stone on Kucinich
From the “Maybe there’s hope” file, there’s a great Kucinich profile/interview in the latest Rolling Stone: Your candidacy seems to be built on the idea that the people are looking for another New Deal-type program. But the New Deal didn’t happen until the country was mired in a depression. Do you think things have really
Running makes me feel good
The good thing about exercising is that once you get over the initial hump of reluctance and pain, it actually becomes a lot of fun. I’ve always been pretty lucky that, no matter how badly I get out of shape, I usually bounce back pretty quickly once I get serious. In just a month of
Buckshot
1) I’m so over Angelina Jolie. Caught pieces of her interview last week and couldn’t help but be irritated. Salomé nailed it: “She’s a spoiled, overprivileged brat that craves attention.” Or something to that effect. Seriously, though, she’s got big boobs and lips (but no hips or ass at all!) and has done a couple
Devouring Comics
Whenever I find a new passion – whether person, place or thing – I tend to throw myself into it 120%. Having cleared my plate of the administrative responsibilities (and psychological baggage) of running a little bit louder, comic books have quickly and completely rushed in to fill the void. I am so hooked! Finished
Made it to the gym today. First time in…hell, before Isaac was born, at least! The convenience of it being right across the street from the job should shame me into going consistently twice a week. It should be noted that I don’t really know my way around a gym. Don’t know the names of
I’m a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it. -Thomas Jefferson Some would say – and have, at times – that I’ve always lived something of a charmed life, had luck on my side, a guardian angel watching over me. I’ll be the first to
The problem with these journals is that by the time you find the time to write something in them, so much has happened that you don’t know where to start. Or finish. Besides that, Salome says I’ve been talking too much about the war. This past Monday’s show couldn’t have worked out better than if
Got a job?
“Third time’s a charm,” is how the saying goes. I hope so since I had my third interview in seven days this afternoon! It was a final interview with the one person in the department I hadn’t met yet and it’s apparently come down to me and one other person. Relatively confident in the interviews
