My week so far

I thought I'd give a little rundown of my week so far. Sunday - Wednesday = Work. That's about it for those days, once you've gone to work for 12 hours the day is over.

On Thursday Mike, Lora, Serenity and I had lunch at Chevy's to celebrate Lora's 27th birthday, that was fun. Then in the evening Serenity and I were off to San Francisco for the Symphony. Dinner was at California Pizza Kitchen. The program was Leonard Bernstein in celebration of what would have been his 90th year. The music was awesome, a combination of symphonic pieces and bits of West Side Story and other musicals, including some terrific singers, even MTT and the audience sang!

On Friday Lora, Mike and his girlfriend Maryann and I went out to dinner at Strizzi's in Livermore followed by wine tasting at First Street Wine.

Today I cooked and froze a big batch of spaghetti for lunches, baked a loaf of bread with the bread maker Maxine gave me, did 2 loads of laundry and went with Lora to a new wine release party at Mitchel Katz winery. Whew.

Next week Serenity and I will be camping Wednesday and Thursday at Pinnacles National Monument, then on Friday we'll be at the Ren Faire Institute.

NBC anti-life?

I would boycott NBC, if I ever watched it that is. I actually never watch anything on the old line networks, NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX. Everything I watch is on the cable only stations... do they still broadcast over the air? Ah well, this story is about the fact that it seems NBC refused to air an ad put together by some Catholic outfit that features an embryo and all of the hardships it faced in early life ending up with the revelation that they were talking about Obama. Here is the ad , check it out and see how unoffensive it is. Like I said, if I watched them I'd quit now. :-/

Viva California! USA out of California Now!

Gene Veith points to a Russian who predicts the breakup the American Empire. Gene is somehow unaware of the dozens of secessionist movements in various states. Granted they are almost all small but still, they exist and this could be a good time for us. Those who know me already understand that I'm a California Nationalist who I doesn't think California should have joined those united States in the first place. Being a part of that empire just costs us money, we get nothing in return. These days we get to be hated by foreigners for being Americans and mocked by Americans for being Californians. Getting us out of the US yesterday would be a day too late as far as I'm concerned.

iTom: Free Music From Tom Smith: 047: Everything Is Dangerous

047: Everything Is Dangerous The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. And all the other stuff. I actually had a song, "Be Afraid", written last week. But it was... preachy. Too preachy. If-you-want-to-send-a-message-use-Western-Union preachy. Wasn't what I wanted. And then I saw this news story , and I knew I'd found my hook. I mean, apparently I must've been vacationing in the Alps when pet turtles were outlawed back in 1975, but I surely remember all of the kids who got salmonella playing with our adorable little buddies. Oh, wait, I don't remember a single one because I never knew a kid who got sick playing with a turtle. Neither did I know a kid who was made prone to violence from watching Road Runner cartoons, but that's neither here nor there. As Lois McMaster Bujold says, you can't make your kids safe -- you can only teach them how to be safe, and hope for the best. Or, as Leslie puts it, you
