you might need me more than you think you will

and if you get it won't you tell me how

Tee hee. "Twilight Sisters."
This is loosely related to Denis Leary, and Mr. Leary, I would like to thank you for making me laugh harder than I had almost all weekend. And that was just from reading the subtitles of an exchange between you and Jon Stewart which I guess was even a rerun. Well done.
I'm not sure if I'm fully back yet. I do know that after I got back from my parents' place last night I immediately went out and got a drink. Alone. I drank alone. It was that kind of weekend.
Although the bartender drank a beer with me after we had debated whether it would be a good idea for me to have a second drink or not, beings that drinking alone is sometimes a Harbinger Of Things That Are Not Good, but the place was a block away from my apartment, I didn't actually get drunk from either the first or the second drink, my phone was dead so I couldn't have asked anyone to come out with me even if I wanted to, and it was a reeeeeally really bad weekend. And: The bartender would not let me pay for the second drink, so it's like I didn't even have it! I then learned everything I could have possibly ever wondered fleetingly about wrestling, and then I went home, and then I came to work and I am pretty sure this is the 89th day in a row that it has rained.
And somewhere, someone still wonders why I don't post that much anymore.

is on hiatus due to inclement brain.
Also weather which may be contributing to inclement brain. It is forecasted to rain and/or otherwise be cloudy for the entire week.
As always, however, there are and will continue to be pictures at the photojournal.

today in colbert for president

I assume that the entire world has already seen this. If not, GET ON IT. This means you, Emily. And you. And you and you and you! (I'm sorry, that was a Tyra Banks joke--you may question why I am making an America's Next Top Model joke in the middle of professing my love for Stephen Colbert. To which I say: I'm eclectic.)
So, Mr. President, pay no attention to the people that say the glass is half full. 32 means the glass - it's important to set up your jokes properly, sir. Sir pay no attention to the people who say the glass is half empty, because 32 means it's 2/3 empty. There's still some liquid in that glass is my point, but I wouldn't drink it. The last third is usually backwash. Folks, my point is that I don't believe this is a low point in this presidency. I believe it is just a lull, before a comeback. I mean, it's like the movie "Rocky." The president is Rocky and Apollo Creed is everything else in the world. It's the 10th round. He's bloodied, his corner man, Mick, who in this case would be the Vice President, and he's yelling cut me, Dick, cut me, and every time he falls he says stay down! Does he stay down? No. Like Rocky he gets back up and in the end he - actually loses in the first movie. Ok. It doesn't matter. The point is the heart-warming story of a man who was repeatedly punched in the face. So don't pay attention to the approval ratings that say 68% of Americans disapprove of the job this man is doing. I ask you this, does that not also logically mean that 68% approve of the job he's not doing? Think about it. I haven't. I stand by this man. I stand by this man because he stands for things. Not only for things, he stands on things. Things like aircraft carriers and rubble and recently flooded city squares.
