Ferris Mahugh’s Day Off
I decided to make today truly work-free from dawn to dusk. Heck, everything-free; I’m due for a re-charge. So we slept in really late, slipped out to Columbia City for lunch, and have been lounging around at home reading and not doing much of anything. Haven’t had a day like this in a long time. Feels good.
The book I’m currently reading is “Blackwater: the rise of the world’s most powerful mercenary army.” I’ll write it up when I’m done, so won’t say much about it yet. It’s about guys in black t-shirts, so I felt a personal connection. If you’d rather just watch the movie, most of the chapters are on YouTube.
Speaking of war-on-terror topics, Karen Greenberg has a fun piece on how to write about Guantanamo over on TomDispatch.
Time for another beverage, I think. The night is young.

Man, I need to spend more time on YouTube. This video really puts the last book I read into perspective.
The internets: quality and quantity!

Hey, I’ll bet others have been getting this same blog spam below. I’ve been getting a ton of this one lately. Seems appropriate for this post, though.

Nope — honestly, I never got one as understandable as that. But I did go check just now, and Akismet has caught over 1000 spam posts since I installed it about three months ago. Nutty.
