Another weekend gone. Another Monday leaves me feeling as though I’ve got too much to do. I’ll probably muddle through just fine and be in a good mood by the time the day is done, but I’d rather start the week off in a good mood once in a while.
Friday: caught up on old email; cleaned up some client websites; other administrative gunk; wrote a little for the site here and cleaned up the page template; tried to head out to the ballgame early, but was delayed by bullshit; was an extra in the Saints commercial shoot, interrupting the pre-game eating and drinking; Saints win; then home to bed.
Saturday: trip to mom’s; return home to phone message saying We don’t have anything in common
from gal I’ve had one date with (I knew we didn’t have much in common. That was part of the attraction for me. I guess the feeling wasn’t mutual); try to head to Saints game early, but got delayed by passive aggessive bullshit again; Saints win; home to bed.
Spent most of Sunday avoiding reality, either by laying around the house or looking at dogs (more on that later). Wonderfully unproductive day. I wrapped it up by reading most of John Stossel’s Give Me a Break, staying awake until about 2am.
- The Saints roll to title series and the Strib actually covers it. Here’s the story from the Saints website, too. It was a good game for Saints fans, with Fargo never really threatening. The Saints will be facing the Schaumburg Flyers who advanced to the NL finals for the first time ever by beating the Kansas City T-Bones. Tuesday and Wednesday games will be in Schaumburg, and the Saints will be home starting Friday. [strib]
- The Grand Forks Herald say New century finds a new journalism, and points to the fact that blogs fact-checked Dan Rather’s ass in short order. They say it’s changing the face of journalism. For the better, I think. Evan’s got a roundup of the facts so far. [scripting]
- From the BATFE website, via awbansunset:
That means today a guy can go shopping for 15 round magazines for Berettas, 17-rounders for Glocks, and other assorted goodies that have been banned for the past ten years. [endwar]By statute, the prohibitions relating to semiautomatic assault weapons and large capacity ammunition feeding devices expired on September 13, 2004. As a result, certain sections of the Gun Control Act, 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44, and its implementing regulations, 27 CFR Part 478, are no longer in effect.
- Yesterday I headed out to Golden Valley to take a look at the dogs. Didn’t find any that had to come home with me, but there’s a possibility it’ll happen soon. Or maybe I’ll find one over in St. Paul. Or perhaps a greyhound. Or maybe I’ll decide that the allergy thing makes this a bad idea, though I’m hoping Allerpet might help with that. I guess time will tell.
