CYBER MONDAY

Today is Cyber Monday. Wonder if I skewed the numbers by doing most of my online shopping on the weekend?

'TIS THE SUNDAY AFTER THANKSGIVING

"Of all the Sunday nights in the year -- in the Hamptons particularly -- the Sunday night that marks the end of the long Thanksgiving weekend is conceivably the loneliest."

John Irving
PUTTING IT INTO PERSPECTIVE

First Mom tells me about the muder-suicide in Falls Church (see yesterday) Then I get to work and feel a strong compulsion to act out violently against three asshole co-workers, the worst offender being the one who threw out my dinner before I got a chance to eat it.

Shortly after that I find out the 14-year-old daughter of a high school classmate was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. To make it worse she has developed temporary diabetes from the steroid treatment and has had a huge amount of necrotic tissue removed from her nasal cavity.

Kind of puts it all into perspective.

A BOLT FROM THE BLUE

Just found out about a murder-suicide in my hometown. I was about seven when it happened, but just learned about it about an hour ago.

Before that there was a fatal accident on Idylwood Road. I thought about it last time I drove there.
AIRHEADS REVISITED

Have been watching "Brideshead Revisited." It's one of those long shifts. Amazing how money, booze and religion can fuck people up. And people say MY religion fucked ME up.

A pretty good week, weatherwise, healthwise and financially. And a lovely thanksgiving -- good to see my friends happy and healthy.

GIVING PREMATURE THANKS

Surfing the web for Black Friday deals. There are four things I urgently want/need, and no really good deals on any of them. Yet.

WEEK 46

Busy week with bad weather and possibly bad news to end it. I guess the biggest thing was the execution of John Muhammad.

A CITIZEN WITH THE SAINTS

Today is the feast of St. Frances Cabrini: http://catholicexchange.com/2009/11/13/96894

She was older than me when she came to America and even older when she became a citizen.

STEEL CLAW

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tis2dUZeI-g&feature=related

It's just a television wonderland
It's one more fairytale about a rich bitch
Lying by the swimming pool
Life is so cool
Easy living when you make the rules
Last Friday was the first time
It only took about a half a minute
On the stairway It was child's play
The odds turn out even when you give up believing in the
Cold law, steel claw
Try to get on board you find the lock is on the door
Well I say no way
Don't try to keep me out or there'll be hell to pay
I don't know who's right or who's wrong
It really doesn't matter when you're lying in the gutter
It's a see saw
A long battle with the cold law
Is what you get for messing with the steel claw
The politicians have forgotten this place
Except for a flying visit in a black Mercedes
On election timeThey cross the line
And everybody runs to watch the pantomime
If they could see what's going on around here
So many people hanging onto the edge
Crying out for revolution
Retribution
The odds turn out even
When you give up believing in the
Cold law, steel claw
Try to get on board you find the lock is on the door
Well I say no way
Don't try to keep me out or there'll be hell to pay
I don't know who's right or who's wrong
It really doesn't matter when you're lying in the gutter
It's a see saw
A long battle with the cold law
Is what you get for messing with the steel claw
Sometimes I think I'm going crazy
Sometimes I do a line, makes me laugh
Makes me wanna take a joyride
On the high tide
Sometimes I'm contemplating suicide
Meanwhile Eddy is on the west coast
I know he's making out with some sweet senorita
Up in Frisco
You and I know
The odds turn out even
When you give up believing in the
Cold law, steel claw
Try to get on board you find the lock is on the door
Well I say no way
Don't try to keep me out or there'll be hell to pay
I don't know who's right or who's wrong
It really doesn't matter when you're lying in the gutter
It's a see saw
A long battle with the cold law
Is what you get for messing with the steel claw
