— Rain pouring down.<\/p>\n
— Finished my Stalin book last night. I’m gonna miss reading it. It’s still percolating – but I’ll probably post a bit more about it when I’ve processed it.<\/p>\n
— Starting Master and Margarita<\/i>. The first chapter is terrifying. <\/p>\n
— Up early. Dark rainy dawn. Coffee, incense burning, the Chieftains playing softly. Preparation for a business call I had at 10 am.<\/p>\n
— Going to the gym today. I would prefer to do my daily walk thingie, but it’s too rainy. Ellipticals. iPod armband. I am all set.<\/p>\n
— Huge project happening right now – that was what my call was about. Really exciting. I’ll write more about it when I know more. But my head is full of ideas and enthusiasm! Cool stuff – right up my alley.<\/p>\n
— I miss my family. I feel like it’s been ages since I saw all of them.<\/p>\n
— Get well, Meredith. You’re in my thoughts.<\/p>\n
— Got a random email from a gentleman who took offense at the fact that (now get this) I linked to this <\/a>– without warning him that there was racy language involved. <\/i> Apparently, the word “dick” in the first paragraph of Zach’s post was too much for Boo-Hoo Pants, and he felt like I had tricked him into reading it – and so he felt ASSAULTED by FILTH – with no warning. Can you believe this guy? I see other bloggers warn their readers: “Offensive language coming … be warned.” “I’m linking to this – but just be warned: there are some curse words!” And that’s fine if they want to do that – that’s up to them, but I will never do that and I will not feel obligated to do that. You know why? Well, a couple reasons. — Mitchell has so turned me on to pickled tomatoes. I need to go get some more. There’s a kosher section of the Pathmark and we just CHOWED on those damn things while he was here.

\n1. Because I’m not offended by cursing, or words like “dick”. And I’m in this blogging game for me, not You (You as in a general large audience-type “you”.) I got this audience just from writing about what I like to write about. That’s the best part of blogging, for me.
\n2. This blog is mine, and I link to what I find interesting or hilarious. If other people find the stuff I link to interesting or hilarious as well – then that’s awesome!! But I’d link to that stuff ANYway. I don’t have time to be warning people left and right that the word “dick” appears in something I link to. The only time I would probably warn you guys about something – is if it was a movie review that contained spoilers. Because I personally can’t stand when I am not warned and suddenly a blogger\/reviewer\/what-have-you gives something away. But cursing? Dick talk? Wow. There are barely enough hours in the day for me to write\/pursue my interests\/have a personal life\/workout\/eat\/shower … without having to take the time to add little warnings to my blog-posts. And so, Mr. Boo-Hoo Boy, here’s a link<\/a>. Just for you!! <\/p>\n
