I push miracle whips.

Greetings.

Thanks to Andy for giving me a place to spit. I used to have my own place, called suburbanjoe.org, but alas, it folded. Maybe I can get some folks back, maybe not. Here's the background, I'm 31, I have a wife, a son, and a pretty typical suburban existance. Thrilling, I know.

So Bush isn't a fascist. Well, there's a fucking relief. While they're at it, they can publish an article saying that he isn't a lemur. That can be Bush's new campaign slogan, "Bush, he's not a fascist." Ashcroft I'm not so sure about.

I'm playing the latest Bond game now and boy is it ever, um, Bondish. It has some good action moments but is largely unsatisfying. I do find it interesting to read all the folks who compare the game to an intereactive movie. I'm not sure what the fuck's wrong with their DVD player, but if this game is like an interactive movie, here's what a movie in their world must be like:

Step 1: Wait for all of the stupid logo thingys to end because you can't skip through them.
Step 2: Pick a chapter to watch.
Step 3. Oh, Bond got shot. Start watching the chapter again.
Step 4: Oh, Bond fell off a building. Start watching the chapter again.
Step 5: Oh, Bond is too busy running in a corner to realize he's getting his ass blown off. Start watching chapter again.
Step 6: Finish chapter. Pick another chapter.
Step 7. Oh, the Porsche got blown up. Start watching chapter again.
Step 8. Oh, the Porsche fell off a cliff. Start watching chapter again.
Step 9. Kill self.

Feh.

6 days until I'm in Florida. Gods give me strength.
