so it's time for another weekend. yeah! Last weekend to make the house ready for Thanksgiving. Yuck!

So what does it mean to "fit"? Dictionary.com defines it as "to be the proper size and shape for" and then various take-offs on that theme. So then I search for proper and it says "fitting". I love dictionaries. I also love really baggy clothes. But they fit me.

Don't know whether it's because I'm still waking at 5am to work out, but I never have dreams. I mean, scientists say that we all dream but I never remember mine. I do have wonderful daydreams though.

I don't really care about Paul Krugman and I doubt I'll buy his book but this is a funny picture.

correction to tuesdays post. Reagan was born in 1911. My bad. Still even weirder that Kennedy was the 35th President and Reagan was the 40th President, yet Kennedy was 6 years younger.

Random Thoughts

1. JFK and Ronald Reagan were both born in 1917.
2. LBJ was 10 years older than JFK. Why do pictures from the time make it seem like LBJ could have been Kennedy's dad?
3. Scott Peterson will be standing trial for the murder of Laci Peterson. In every article I've read about the trial, the key evidence is one Laci hair found on a pair of Scott's pliers. If something ill happens to me, I hope the police check the hedge trimmers. They'll find my blood all over them from when I last trimmed the jasmine. But maybe somebody will be convicted.
4. I hope there's more to it than that.
5. Christmas is right around the corner.

Straight to Hell

Man, I've really gotten bad. I guess the newness has worn off and reading back over past entries, I realize how dull my life is. Plus i've been busy at work, the holidays are coming up and all sorts of other lame excuses.

Finished The Cider House Rules. Way better book than movie. No really. Much more detail and not as "happy" as the movie. The movie wasn't really that "happy" either.

Now reading A Life: LBJ. The only President from Texas(the Bushes don't count, they're from Connecticut or Maine or wherever) and he was born on my birthday. It'll be nice to learn something. The thing about some biographies (and this seems like one) is that the biographer really wanted to be a psychologist and so therefore writes things like "LBJ escalated the Vietnam War because he had a small penis and wanted to kill his father and marry his mother". (that's my own psychobabble--it's not actually in the book--at least i haven't gotten to that part).
