Spent the weekend at Strassenfest eating knackwurst and drinking beer while hanging around outside and watching people and their dogs. The weather was abnormally mild, so it was a great time. (Normally it’s pushing 100 degrees Fahrenheit [about 40 Celsius] and around 90% humidity, and the guys in lederhosen start to smell iffy. And there are always a lot of guys in lederhosen at the Strassenfest. And very, very, very, very, very few are hot enough to still be sexy while sweating in embroidered leather.)
Although I started thinking about Nietzsche while sitting by the Soldier’s Memorial, and decided that I’m only an übermensch when I’m naked. (It makes more sense when you’re drunk. Trust me.) That’s when I decided it was time to leave.

My work computer decided to die on me, so I’m in the process of rebuilding it. (Actually, it was more of a “My computer isn’t working; can you buy me a new one, or do I just have to rebuild?” rhetorical question to my boss.) Combine that with the fact that we’re moving back to the newly spiffed cubefarm, and you can see how I’m being veeeeeeeeeeery unproductive at work. (You’ll note the lack of complaint in my tone.)

Rented a compilation of Indian pop songs on DVD from Netflix. The best one is Tum Bin Jiya, and I’m not just saying that because the boy in the video is hot. The other one that’s really worth watching is a standard-issue English boy-band called Code Red performing with THE queen of Bollywood, Asha Bhosle – I about died laughing when they started showing her their dance moves.
(Hey, look, Tim, a reference to the UK!)

Questions to ponder, and readings to, um, read.
Does a post-adolescent fascination with childish things indicate an innate emotional immaturity? Or is the author just full of hot air?
Is Canada the Land of Enlightenment, or is it all just a front?
And why hasn’t the Missouri Plan for non-partisan judicial selection been adapted for federal use yet? Doesn’t a democratic society rely upon an impartial judiciary?
