Month: January 2003

From my e-mail:

Those darn famous people!

For me, Bush’s State of the Union Address was pretty much the Super Bowl all over again: I didn’t watch it, I didn’t want to watch it, and all it meant was that what I did want to watch would be on later (Alias) or not on at all (24). I apparently didn’t miss much last night except for some empty promises, some unsubstantiated fear-mongering, and another in a long line of “No, really, we have evidence against Saddam! And this time it’s gonna be real!”

Somebody wanna wake me when it’s over? Or, better yet, wake the Democrats up now?

So, apparently, by “database administration”, they mean deletion of all your comments before September. I realize YACCS is free, but geez. Maybe it’s time to start looking for alternatives.

In case you’re one of those people who don’t look at the sidebar, I’d just like to point out two things:

Thank you, that is all.

For a couple of months now, I’ve been writing weekly horoscopes for Completely Different. The first set was easy. Every set after that has been insanely difficult. Being funny in just one or two sentences (while trying to sound like a horoscope and not just copy The Onion), isn’t all that easy. But it has given me a new appreciation for just how truly awful “real” horoscopes can be. They walk a fine line between the insipidly vague and the absurdly specific.

I, on the other hand, look more for bewildered laughter than anything else.
