I got my MacBook back yesterday, after being without it. complete with new hard drive. (The old one crashed.) Alas, the new hard drive is empty. So I’m spending my spare time reinstalling programs, etc., to get somewhere close to the setup I had before. (Lesson learned. I bought an external hard drive, exclusively for backups.) So, blogging may be very light today.

    • I probably shouldn't say this, but I work on K Street. I've even bumped into Robert Novak once, when we were both pedestrians, crossing the street in opposite directions. Now, I'll have remember to keep an eye out, and look both ways before I cross the street, lest Robert Novak run into me.

    • I don't really care about the Madonna/Alex Rodriguez affair story, because I'm not married to either of them. But in this day and age why would anyone (who's not "in the business" and getting paid for it) intentionally record their sexcapades on video? Why, when there are a thousand different ways for someone to get and distribute that video? How dumb do you have to be to make a 'sex tape' nowadays?

    • Maybe I'm taking this the wrong way, and I know these aren't Warren Buffett’s actual words of widsom, but nothing irritates me more than hearing things like "Happiness comes from within," and "Find happiness in simple pleasures." From a billionaire? Easy for him to say...

    • Gimmick or no gimmick, I would so dance with Lance. Hey, I took ballroom dancing in college, and was pretty good at it. Later, I learned to two-step in a gay C&W bar, and was pretty popular because I was a good follower. Not like dragging around a sack of potatoes. So, Lance, you can lead if you want to...

    • I knew there was a reason I'm not buying an iPhone today. (Besides the fact that I don't "need" one, and the reality that I don't need to spend that much on a tech purchase. It looks like Apple's having a pretty bad day, along with people who did buy iPhones that currently don't work due to server problems.

    • I may not agree with Obama about faith-based initiatives — among other things — but I totally agree with his decision to keeping his daughters out of the media spotlight, to the extent that he can. Given what's already being thrown at him and his wife, I can't say that I blame him.

    • Maybe. One thing we can be reasonably sure of. If the legislature sends him a marriage equality bill, he'll probably sign it.

    • My friends and I used to joke that in D.C. it's a law that in DC, you're never more than a block from Starbucks. When tourists stop me and ask where's nearest Starbucks, I usually end up pointing in three different directions. But that may change.

    • I'm getting tired of wanting to write, and needing to write, but not writing because writing is not my job. Anybody know anyone looking to hire a writer?
