There's a program about the US Boarder Patrol on this History Channel right now. They were talking about their role in preventing smuggling during Prohabition at first, but now the focus has shifted to preventing human traffic across the boarder. This pisses me off to no end. People should be allowed to come and go as they please, boarders are just arbitrary lines in space.
Just finished watching Pee-wee's Big Adventure with a friend. I thought after last nite I'd pass out right away but I managed to make it through. It's been a while since I've watched this film and it surprised me. It's very meta-cinematic and egotistical, but in all the funny ways. Paul Reubens quotes his role in Cheech & Chong's Next Movie and makes such subtle innuendoes that the PG rating is almost unnecessary. Good stuff.

Tired. Went to the Crown and Anchor last nite and stayed up a little too late. You think that I'd learn by now. At least I had a ride to work so I had time for a cup of coffee.

A coworker just offered to sell me a 32" TV on the cheap. I'm accumulating way too much friggin' gear. First it was a kitchen table, then a couch. This can't be healthy.
For some reason my blog comes up when you do a Google search for "wesley clark freemason".

In the "beating a dead horse" category, Lee Boyd Malvo and John Muhammed are expected to be tried in Northern Virginia after their current sentences are made final. It's sad that the idea our founding fathers had about double jeopardy has basically been shot to hell. I know, these two committed many crimes across a large area, but it seems to me that one trial is enough. Mr. Muhammed will be put to death by the state and Mr. Malvo will never again breathe the air of freedom. There is no need to further clog the courts.
I just finished the last bowl of the chili I made. The onion was cut too large, I don't have a sharp knife. I didn't let the beans soak long enough, they're still somewhat crunchy. The spice pack didn't quite soak into the ingredients; I should have let it simmer longer. Perhaps I'll make it better next time. I'm still silly happy that there were people around that grubbed it.

Insert bad joke here.
