Happy Monday to all!
Well, don't I sound chipper? Despite having not gotten enough sleep this weekend and especially last night, I am in an outstanding mood. Why? I know not. Methinks it may have something to do with my new favorite online comic Married to the Sea. Or maybe it has something to do with my stellar weekend. Or seeing the Sopranos last night. Regardless, I'm pleased as punch to be at work today, looking forward to an afternoon of The Grapes of Wrath, and a hearty tofu loaf/mashed potato/brussel sprouts feast for dinner. As everyone's favorite t-shirt says: life is good.
A brief recap of my weekend:
Friday night started with a deelish dinner in the more than adequately spaced apartment of Kevin and Christina. We flew through in order to make it to the UICA for "The Confederate States of America." All agreed the movie fell short, but we had a hearty chuckle over Kevin's over-the-top offensive comment of the evening. The night's fun didn't end there as we returned to the home, drank a bottle of wine and some other tasty adult beverages. The womenfolk seemed content to stay home (it is our place, afterall), but the men were interested in venturing out. And how! Sazarac is a damn fine watering hole with yummy and inexpensive pizza and a Friday night cosmopolitan special of $3.00 (those cosmos would be made with Absolut Citron, by the way). Raleigh and Co. made an appearance which brought the evening together nicely. I hear some felt less than well the next day which is darn shame, but I hope the copious amounts of fun were at least a little worth it. I know that I had a delightful time and look forward to another social evening in the Grandest of Rapids soon.
Saturday: Greensky Bluegrass. Sigh. Young, bearded gentlemen who play good ol'fashioned 'merican music on unusual guitar-type instruments make me swoon. Raleigh joined us on our turf despite having to drive a vehicle that seemed to be filling up with carbon monoxide. I also met the lovely Jen--a charming woman who went to Johnson State College. It was swell to wax poetic about the gloriousness of Vermont with someone. Chicago dogs were consumed, a strong and free gin and tonic was given to me by Mel, there was some pinball played and rumor has it someone got kicked out for exposing himself to a bunch of lesbians. heh heh. Sunday brought a day of drinking-too-much-coffee-without-food, a late lunch/early supper at Margarita's with Raleigh and I finished up the evening with the Sopranos. Woo-hoo, I say. Woo.Hoo.
I was incapable of keeping my remarks brief leaving me little time for a political round-up, but I'll give her a go.
Milosevic--heat attack? suicide? poison?
Simultaneous car bombs went off in Sadr City leaving almost 50 dead and over 200 wounded.
A roadside bomb killed 4 G.I.'s in Afghanistan.
Feingold proposes a censure of G.W.B.
And Moussaoui may end up with a mistrial.
I'm optimistic I'll have a fairly dull week socially leaving me plenty of space and time to get back to the important task of informing all 5 people who read this what I think about topics they don't really care about.

sorry I couldn't come out Saturday night. We had a great time Friday night, though. It was well worth it. And I'm glad my offensive comment was memorable to make it to the blog re-cap. Come out to GR again soon!
