The business of writing is not mystical or special. Writing is tough and thankless work and I don’t know a working writer who has time to stop to attend a writer’s group because the author is either in the middle of a deadline or is collapsing after just hitting a drop-dead date.
Sometimes you see something that makes you wonder if the people responsible for that thing have any connection to reality or if they are living in their own world where the skies are purple and roses bloom forth from open wounds. Every day while walking to work in New York, I am confronted by this a large billboard of Sean “P. Diddy” Combs clambering out of a helicopter with two hot girls.
Hosea “The Hosebag” won Top Chef Five last night on Bravo and I can’t remember a more dislikable person winning the whole thing in any previous season — we came close with that awful red-haired witch almost winning it all, but that’s another rant for another day. Throughout this season’s competition, Hosea was Too Hot for co-cooker contestant Leah, and when they “only kissed” we knew something more happened because neither Hosea nor Leah could look each other in the eye after that “kiss” and their relationship was never the same again. Both Leah and Hosea had betrothed their hearts to others before the competition. Sorry, but I don’t feel like rooting for a Hosebag Cheater as my Top Chef.
UPDATE April 23, 2009: After getting an inappropriate comment on this article
from Slide
this morning, my wife and I have decided to no longer play that game. We’re over them. Any links to our SuperPoke Pets sites are no longer active
and should be considered dead. Why should we pay for that sort of
attitude from a company? We’re voting with our money and the answer
is: “No thank you.”
I am addicted to SuperPoke Pets on Facebook! Bonky, a monkey, is my adopted SuperPoke Pet and he’s currently living in a cornfield in space!
Google are making many surprise moves early in 2009 and I love them all. The latest Google gift is the ability to use Google Gears to work offline with Gmail and your Google Calendar.
Google Gears worked up offline access for Docs last year and now, as you can see below on my Mac Desktop, I have direct access my mail, sked and workload 24/7/365 and I could not be happier.
