I wasn�t planning on doing much of anything last night. Between watching a movie with Kitty, going to the soccer game my brothers-in-law and my sister were playing in, and staying home to relax, making dinner for myself and finishing a good book I�m reading, I wasn�t torn as much as I didn�t want to make any decisions at all. Yup, I was THAT mentally tired after a good, busy day at the office. Just when I was about to put my foot down and try to incorporate ALL of my options, I got a call from Photographer. Whew! He wanted to do dinner, we had missed each other several times over the long weekend, and this was his only evening free this week. I dropped all my plans and went out to meet him.

I went to his work, downtown, to find him cropping the photos he took from the grand opening party for the new Hustler store downtown last Friday night. That�s right, naked chics and Larry Flint himself smiled back at me from the computer screen Photographer was diligently staring at as he clicked his mouse, making changes so subtle, my layman�s eye couldn�t tell the differences between clicks. Looked like a fun party, I�m surprised I missed it! We went to TGIFriday�s for dinner, and I had fun amusing him with my snide and sarcastic remarks pointed at those around us. I was in rare form (hee hee, well actually, that�s my most comfortable form, but by calling it �rare� I can get away with it from time to time when I�m hanging out with a newbie).

After dinner, we walked over to the new Hustler store and perused the videos, the various sex accouterments, the products and pictures galore. Three stories of them. I found that the video collection was the only impressive part of the store (that and the larger than life photos of beauties adorning the walls). The fetish selection doesn�t come close to comparing with that of the Pleasure Chest in LA, and the clothing was cute, but I found that it was a frilly shadow to the garments that can be found in the Dream Dresser, also located in LA. But that�s just MY opinion, for what it�s worth. So, I got home and into bed later than expected at the beginning of the evening, but I had a great time.

Alright, just a few things in the news that I wanted to touch on: are we all aware that Britain ACCIDENTALLY INVADED Spain yesterday? That�s right, people. CNN headline, check it out. On a routine exercise run, in the poor weather, Britain stormed the shores of Spain, thinking they were on familiar soil. They were notified by a very surprised local of their �mistake�. Hee hee. Fucking militaries.

Andrea Yates... The woman who murdered her children. Just a few things here, something I would hope the jury is taking into consideration. I don�t give a shit if she�s crazy. You HAVE to be crazy to do something like that. ANYONE who commits murder has issues with the whole �right and wrong� concept. I say, death by drowning. Post-partem depression, insanity, these are just excuses. Someone snaps and becomes deathly violent, the killing of innocents by their own mother... it�s the ultimate sin. She�s better off in whatever hell she wakes up in after we put her out of her misery. As far as the court�s decision on whether or not to execute murderous �retards�? Aside from the fact that I have a problem with the news using the term �retarded�, I haven�t read up on this enough to have an opinion. Violence is bad. That, I know. People who don�t know that... well, it�s just very hard for me to see any positive reason for them to be kept around in this world. Survival of the fittest used to be the rule.

Now, that has morphed into some kind of survival of the enlightened. The loving should propagate, and the hating should perish. And that, my friends, is the word of the Barb. Amen.
