      • Drunk Driving
        11/25/06
        Maybe I'm just making assumptions, but this appears to be yet another reason against driving drunk. Somehow, I'm guessing that isn't why the good Rev. Al Sharpton is interested.

      • Holiday Madness
        11/23/06
        I just returned from a delightful Thanksgiving dinner with my parents. The streets and highways, which were eerily deserted when I drove to Albany at 5:30 p.m. were packed with fellow Thanksgiving-returnees. I quickly realized that many of them were, unlike me, most likely drunk; an accident I pas

      • For Your Consideration
        11/21/06
        For Your Consideration, which I'm not even going to link to here because it's so horrible. I will never get those two hours of my life back. It's really hard to think of something that would have been less productive that watching that movie. It's a movie about a movie that ha

      • New Theme
        11/18/06
        Yes, there is a new theme. I updated my blogging software and switched over to the "modern" theme from what I believe was called "classic" or something. The default color schemes are remarkably bland, even to my design-oblivious eye. I want a clear design that's as cool a

      • My Peers and I
        11/16/06
        From David Brooks' column on Borat today:There’s also that distinct style of young person’s snobbery. Young people haven’t accomplished much yet so they can only elevate themselves by endlessly celebrating their own superior sensibilities.Actually, I find myself agreeing with him.

      • Babel
        11/13/06
        I saw Babel last night with high expectations: it received good ratings on both IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes. The cinematography was excellent, the soundtrack was moving, the dialogue was convincing, and the acting was quite decent; unfortunately none could salvage an absolutely horrible script.

      • Pain
        11/07/06
        From the NYT:

        Anyone out of high school forced to watch more than an hour of “Laguna Beach” might possibly feel the urge to beat themselves about the head with a large stick.

      • Torpedo is in the Water
        11/07/06
        The launch was not as smartly executed on my part as I would have liked, but there is sufficient information for it to reach its destination.

      • The Price Being Paid
        11/06/06
        Burials at Arlington National Cemetery took on a grim regularity in October, when at least 103 American troops were killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. In Iraq, the toll had reached 99 by Saturday, making October the deadliest month since January 2005.

        Military officials attributed the high n

      • Links
        11/04/06
        I just realized that all my links open up in a new window. I absolutely hate it when people force you to open a new window, as I always use CTRL-click to open a new tab if I want to stay at their web site. I'm not saying I'm going to go through all the old entries and change the links, b

      • Deuteronomy 30:19
        11/04/06
        I call heaven and earth to witness against you today: I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse; therefore choose life that you and your seed may live,

      • Underway
        11/02/06
        I had duty yesterday, which means I have to make a complete round of the ship several times during the day, visiting sections that I don't normally find myself in while inport. Each area of the ship has its own special smell, from the vague musty odor of the gym, the suffocating chemical smell
