No, no...I'm not thinking of jumping the sexuality fence and starting to ogle boobies...nor am I thinking of getting religion. (Sounds like getting typhoid or something, doesn't it?)
No, today I think I've been converted from a non-nap person to a snoozer. I usually abhor naps because they seem like a colossal waste of time from which I always wake groggy and disoriented.
But I took one today...and it was fantastic. I think this may be the beginning of a trend...

At what point does technolust...
...become something for which you need a techno-restraining-order for?
Ok, ok...so I'm exaggerating just a little, but take a good look at the Xperia phone and tell me you wouldn't do dirty, awful things to get your hands on it.
It's a Windows mobile 6 phone with a bad-ass touchscreen user interface AND slide out qwerty keyboard. And...well...it's just purdy.
My one major problem with it is that it's made by Greedy...er, Sony(/Erickson)...whose DRM and proprietary software meddling usually hobbles every great device they make.
It's just as well, I suppose...otherwise I'd be dropping a paycheck to get my grubby paws on it.

Reason # 4,568 that I'm an Athiest...
...is that religious people just don't seem to know when NOT to try a sales pitch.
This morning I had cause to set foot inside a church for probably the first time in nearly 4 or so years. And I'm not a religious bigot, I swear I'm not...but every time I'm in the presence of devoutly religious people I seem to grow less and less tolerant of some of their behavioral traits.
I was in said church for a wake. For the first half of it, it was a very pleasant remembrance of my wonderful grandmother who passed last month. Some very moving words were said about her by her son (my dad) and a few others....and memories were shared.
Then the priest stepped in for his portion, and it somehow turned from a fond farewell to Nancy...to the Catholic version of Amway. Yes, he said his kind words about her and her family...but then started to meander into unwelcome territory.
He managed to fit in a few delightful messages about how the best way to serve god was to get married and have kids....and how the Jews have the wrong idea when it comes to having closeness to god.
There's nothing like a little subtle heterosexism and antisemitism to dress up a funeral.
Oh well, at least the corned beef and cabbage lunch we had after was nice...though I promised myself that for the sake of those around me I will NEVER have cabbage again. Just ask anyone who was near me at the gym today why.

Do I still get to keep my card?
I have to admit to being a really bad homo last night. No, not the kind of bad that requires a prescription for penicillin and/or a bail bond. No, I'm talking about the kind of offense that would actually GET a gasp from the average gay guy...and a possible de-listing from their "top 8" on MySpace. Yes, that's right...I'll admit it...I totally didn't watch the Oscars last night. Not only did I not watch them, but I honestly didn't even care that I missed them.
Now, before anyone out there rounds up a posse (complete with pink pitchforks and sparkly torches...hee hee) I have to say that I WAS doing something utterly gay...working out at the gay-est LA fitness in all of Arizona.
And, in my defense, I read something about this being the least watched Oscars EVER.
I guess not everyone heard that the writer's strike was off, eh? Though, given the caliber of groaners they usually write for that thing, maybe that's WHY no-one watched.

Holy cookfest, batman!
In the interest of trying to save money and eat just a little healthier, I've been trying lately to get into the habit of making meals for the week. It's really quite handy to be able to just pop something in the microwave and grub it down instead of either heading out to score some greasy, over-salted take-out, or (god forbid) actually making something.
The other thing that's really good about it is that it helps keep me on track in terms of my caloric intake. Those of you that know me, know that I do a slight bit o tossing of the iron at the gym (when I'm not tossing overweight luggage at work). All that tossing (yes there's a joke there somewhere, but I'll let you make your own) tends to mean that if I want to be a growin boy, I needs to eat...alot.
So, last night I made lots of chicken. Chicken stir-fry, Parmesan chicken, roasted chicken, etc. All of which means I'll be seriously craving some beef about mid-way through the week (heh...I'll let you make your own joke there too).
My only dislike about all this? I'm a messy cook. When I make that many meals, the kitchen usually looks like an F5 food tornado hit it...hard. Which means the cleanup takes 3 times as long as the cooking. *sigh* Anyone wanna volunteer to clean up for me next time? Theres a piece of Parmesan chicken in it for you. :)
