Some random ideas worth writing on:
• Television script: Due to some mishap, an gourmet chef (a.k.a. an Iron Chef) winds up in the household of a certain family. Wacky hijinks occur — with sexy results.
• Radio story: That darn story I’ve been meaning to write for nearly three years! Dang-nabit!

Good news everyone!
OK, maybe I overreacted (nothing new there). It appears that blogger’s choking on generating archive pages, not the main index page. So life’s good (aside from life itself). [Edit: Actually the archive pages look alright too. The mystery deepens…. – RTO]

Who knew that international Online orders would take so long to be delivered by mail? I ordered the first season DVDs — Made in Canada, CBC’s biting satire of the film and television industry, and Coupling, the British comedy on love and relationships currently on BBC America from Amazon.ca (the Canadian version of the ol’ chestnut).
Well, the order shipped on Feb. 5 via Canada Post Int’l Surface. Amazon says the package is expected to arrive “14 February – 27 February”. That’s more than 20 days at the outset. I live 50 miles away from Canada, as the crow flies — I would’ve thought it would be a little faster than that.
The good news is that the currency exchange rate between our two nations is in America’s favor. The order was about CDN$52 which comes out to be US$35. So I did save money from the domestic Amazon.com (which doesn’t even sell “Made in Canada”). Still looking for a copy of Men with Brooms. 🙂

Well, Valentines Day has come and gone. It doesn’t seem like I did too much for the big day, but I did give one gift – a vase of roses – which I think was well received.

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted last, but nothing really caught my fancy over the past few months. Perhaps I should become more comfortable posting irrelevant stuff.

It’s the night before Christmas, and I really don’t have too much too say — aside from Merry Christmas, of course. I need to try to write about poem about my special friend as one of my gifts. (I’m not spoiling too much posting this on my Web page — it’s not like she ever comes here anyway).
A poem can’t be that hard to write, can it? Perhaps it is telling that I promised her that I would write this a year ago ….

Trent Lott finally made a statement that I feel is a true apology for his comments last week. He said the segregation and racism are immoral. There now Trent, that wasn’t too hard to say wasn’t it?
It really is a statement that he should have made on Monday or Tuesday, but better late than never. I think the statement will do a lot to blunt criticism from his side of the aisle (and from many non-political minded Americans), but I hope that this whole incident will be a swift kick in the Democrats’ donkey hide.
