Tonight I watched Triumph's Best Of DVD. It was one strong dose of the old boy, but damn... Robert Smigel is a genius. It almost made up for the fact that I'm back on the wagon and avoiding my alcohol-drenched social life again. Almost.
To balance out the Triumph, I spent most of the night starting the Teaching Company lecture series called United States and the Middle East: 1914 - 9/11. It's pretty complex stuff, and it kinda makes the views of the average partisan person, left or right, seem pretty simple-minded. Which makes everything way harder, dammit.
