There are days when you want to crank "Rock Lobster" and there are days when you want to quote Chuck Palahnuik and Bret Easton Ellis.

On a good day, the norms that society seems to agree upon are all well and good, but worth disregarding in the name of good humor. On a bad day I just want to betray those norms so that I...

"It is true what they say--males are from Omicron Perseii VII and females are from Omicron Perseii IX."

So...

We won.

In other news, I'm sleeping again, which is just as great as I thought it'd be.

Peter Goldmark, who's running in WA-05 against Cathy McMorris (eww!!) is as proud to be a Democrat as I am. He's proud of what his party stands for, and proud of its record across the decades.

That said, even the wee D we've got in our tv ads is a bit of a gamble out here.

And this is the point. Peter isn't running to...

So this Saturday afternoon I fly away from the sun.

I'm off to the Canadian shores of Lake Huron where I will hopefully get some tan, get some laid, and get some relaxed.

I spent two days driving around the northern half of the district delivering 4' by 8' signs. I was undercover, in a giant red Suburban with no radio and no AC. Much...

A week ago I returned to this venue in triumph. My victroy cries echoed, like a shout into a coffee can, though.

I got sick. A viral infection in my lungs. I coughed up mucous ranging in texture and color from a thick pale yellow through a chunky dark brown, flecked with red (which may have come from a cinnamon mint candy) before finally returning...

I was dead for a time. I have ruturned, like the Phoenix, rising from the embers of my own creation. Or something.

So... What's new?

The aforemention'd plan has work'd.

I am a political warrior.

I fight because I must win. In victory, there is honor.

In defeat, there is only destruction.

I am samurai.

I have a plan. It's totally insane, but it's a plan.

I'm going to sleep ASAP, and getting up at two. Then I'm getting in my car, and driving to Spokane. Why in the name of all that is good and pure would I do such an asinine thing?

I'm going to meet a man in Spokane about a job. It seems that a guy...

I got out of that ugly T-hole. I actually turned the beast in 3 whole
days early. My Oral Defense is this Thursday at 8 a.m., but that's an
entirely different ballgame.

I party'd. There are certainly photos, likely they will soon be on the
Facebook, but I certainly took none. I considered it blatantly
irresponsible to take such an innocent device into such a...

I'm stuck in a T-Hole.

I finally got a decent amount of sleep last night, after about two weeks on 3-4 hours sleep a night. I actually feel more tired, rather than less. Also, I want ice cream.

I'm trying to write a paper before I get my drafts back, but since it isn't my thesis it's really hard to care.

I bought a Suit a few days ago, and pick it up from alteration tomorrow. This is no ordinary matched set of garments. No, it is the first suit I have purchased with my own funds. It is a simple, sharp black 3-button affair, but it holds for me a certain magic. I hope that it will be with me for some time. Perhaps, one...
