I’m not very passionate at the moment. Even the specifics of the budget nonsense at the State Capitol isn’t getting much press so no spark for my ire there. The decision-makers are behind closed doors hammering out an agreement that will fix all our woes and answer all our questions…blah-blah-blah.
Harry Potter is back. Saw a news report on the film and the usual stuff is being said about it. “It didn’t follow the book closely enough” “It was the best Harry Potter Yet” blah, blah, blah. How about something original after all these films folks! The film never measures up to the book unless you don’t read the book, and after being Harry-starved for many months, these Harry fans are like an emaciated man crawling out of the desert for a drink at the oasis, of course it’s going to taste good. Oh well, I suppose I’ll have to wait for the video at about Christmas time.
Hotter than a pistol outside this week. Of course it’s not the desert southwest where people’s cars can’t even get relief inside their garages. I was in Palm Desert a week ago and the outside temp was 112 and the cars were hot to the touch in the shade of the garage! Outrageous! My folks have made up emergency packs in case of an earthquake so they’re prepared. I forgot to ask them if they had also packed a generator and a portable AC unit. I think I’d buy a little ATV with a wagon to carry it all in when the big one hits.
Oh, and the big one hit in the ocean near New Zealand triggering tsunami warnings this morning. None reported thank goodness but we’re thinking about you Kiwis today. 7.8 on the scale is nothing to sneeze at!
It’s already getting darker in the morning making it harder to get up at my usual 6AM time. Ugh…
So the President threw out the opening pitch at the All-Snore game last night. Just once I want to see a President with the cajones to wing it down there with all their might and not worry about getting it in the strike zone, just let it fly, clock 90mph plus even if it slams ten feet high on the backstop. I mean come on, the pitcher had to dive for it Mr. Obama, man up and let’er rip, we know you’re stronger than that! You might as well have thrown it underhand, and was that supposed to frighten the North Koreans? Wow, I bet they’re building their next rocket right now. Next time pretend that the Iranian president is the catcher and try to knock him over, come on man!
OK, I’ve blah’d on enough here to be more boring than that baseball game so I’m going to stop now and go to work…later on blogsphere.
32 Czars can’t evoke passion? Tut Tut!
