The Wee Democracy

a few things to ponder

i find myself once again imploring you gentle souls to accept my apologies for my unexcused absence from the forum of all that is josh. the latent tardiness in posting, coupled with a general nonchalance for that very thing is categorically bad, and so i'm sorry. sorta. i've had some good reasons, though, and we'll leave it at that.

but i have thought alot of things lately, and i figure i'll just throw them out there, bullet style and let you sift through what you like, and discard what you don't.

i found my copy of "the dark knight returns" and have been re-reading it on the way to and fro work. it is, i must say, badass and if you've never read frank miller's stuff, his batman books are without peer.

the boy with the arab strap is a great album, and the second track, sleep the clock around, was the first song they played at the concert in austin some three years ago. but i remember them opening with that tune like it was yesterday, and it is good.

fox, while on the verge of bringing back 24 and meeting all my hopes for the current season of the OC, has drawn my ire once again with their contraversial new adoption related reality show.

it started raining again.

there is, according to rumor, going to be alcohol at the family christmas gathering this year. if i have my way, i'm making the margaritas (we are hispanic, after all) and everyone is leaving the gig with a little more hair on their ass.

riqui's not coming for xmas or new years, which sucks, as much as anything can suck.

leah, however, is coming for a tad longer than her usual four maybe five days. that ought to be...interesting.

blade II is way better than blade trinity. so just rent the deuce, and you'll be good.

you should all buy me presents.
