But I know what you really want---- more pictures of Amaya:

Ok people, it's begun. As I mentioned before, I've started a new website activity I'm calling "Reese's Issue of the Month" to highlight topical issues. It's an ongoing endeavor not only month-to-month, but also within each month, as I add more to the page throughout the time period. Please feel free to give me your thoughts and suggestions to make the page, as well as the community aspect of the endeavor, the best it can be. The links, as you can see, are in the box to the left. (P.S. I spent a lot of time doing yucky HTML coding crap just to make this happen, so you better appreciate it. Heh.)

Starting this weekend, the beginning of the new month, I will be starting a new series of website activity I'll be calling "Reese's Issue of the Month." These monthly updates will highlight a topical issue I've chosen with various links, excerpts, pictures, and so forth to try and draw out further study and insight into the cause. This is kind of a work in progress so please feel free to give me your feedback as we move along. I'll be doing what I can within my limited HTML skills to make it look interesting, as well as pull together my also limited resources in finding relevant material. If you have thoughts, links, issues that you'd like to add to the monthly issues page, please let me know and we can try to make it a community project as well. Thanks for your patience and interest as I begin this new endeavor.

Went out with my friend Johnny tonight for a huge, three-course French meal at a fancy restaurant and I am soooo stuffed. Kinda, sorta like what most people will be like tomorrow. I just wish I hadn't ate so much, but it was so good.

It's the end of the dinner as I knew it, and I feel full.

Heh, I should tell more jokes.

For all those people out there who love those crazy animated internet cartoons, now there's one on the new U.S. Government "Total Information Awareness."

[T]here are some major institutional voices that are, truthfully speaking, part and parcel of the Republican Party. Fox News Network, The Washington Times, Rush Limbaugh—there’s a bunch of them, and some of them are financed by wealthy ultra-conservative billionaires who make political deals with Republican administrations and the rest of the media …. that is, day after day, injecting the daily Republican talking points into the definition of what’s objective as stated by the news media as a whole.

Something will start at the Republican National Committee, inside the building, and it will explode the next day on the right-wing talk-show network and on Fox News and in the newspapers that play this game, The Washington Times and the others. And then they’ll create a little echo chamber, and pretty soon they’ll start baiting the mainstream media for allegedly ignoring the story they’ve pushed into the zeitgeist. And then pretty soon the mainstream media goes out and disingenuously takes a so-called objective sampling, and lo and behold, these R.N.C. talking points are woven into the fabric of the zeitgeist....

They’re selling a hybrid product now that’s news plus news-helper; whether it’s entertainment or attitude or news that’s marbled with opinion, it’s different. Now, especially in the cable-TV market, it has become good economics once again to go back to a party-oriented approach to attract a hard-core following that appreciates the predictability of a right-wing point of view, but then to make aggressive and constant efforts to deny that’s what they’re doing in order to avoid offending the broader audience that mass advertisers want. Thus the Fox slogan ‘We Report, You Decide,’ or whatever the current version of their ritual denial is.-- [President] Gore

About time someone talked about this.

Don't you just love it when big companies do things "for your convenience?" More often than not, that means either (A) you're about to get screwed, (B) prices are going up or (C) all of the above.

I broke my glasses tonight. Damn. Now I gotta go get new ones.

Speaking of great and wonderful married men that I am greatly jealous of their boyfriends, I link to this dreamy guy again.

I met the love of my life tonight. His name was Cameron. He's sweet and has beautiful eyes and hair and the nicest demeanor. He was nice to me even in the shortest of conversations. He's married to another man. How depressing.

Sadly funny:

"Old School and Today's R&B" & "The Quiet Storm"-- what great formats, my favorite music, every song is a treasure, relaxing on a quiet night, comfy, feel-good, wanna sing along, feeling it in the soul music, loveit, loveit, loveit

Never Go Back.org. New website and renewed energy to save Roe v. Wade

Globally, we're working WITH, not against, Phillip Morris and other such interests to help them kill more people around the world, especially in developing countries, with tobacco.

Don't expect any gun control, anti-tobacco, progressive health care, or a cleaner environment anytime soon: Well-heeled corporate sponsors picked up the tab and offered [the GOP Governors] a variety of entertainment, while getting the chance to bend their ears on key issues. The National Rifle Association, for example, sponsored a "skeet and trap shooting" session for governors, spouses and staff... Other major sponsors included Ford Motor Co., Philip Morris, and a host of energy, insurance, gaming and health care interests.

So much for states' rights. The Environmental Protection Agency, so- called, is loosening industrial air pollution standards and forcing California to lower its standards.

Our officials are objecting, and so are officials in eastern states. If you're one of those "blue" states on the map that didn't vote for George W. Bush, then you'll be turned brown with filth emitted by his energy industry backers....

Under Bush, the federal government is powerfully imposing its will -- and the will of power companies -- on individuals and states. The president is saying of Californians, "Let them eat smog." And his attorney general will be listening in, hearing every cough.

By the way, I'm mostly better, much better than earlier this week. But I still have a slight cold right now. I'm in between jubilant recovery and annoying setbacks. I want to jump up and down and run around and then I have to sit down and rest and blow my nose. Ugh.

I think Amaya is starting to like me a little more. I suppose that's what happens when one is completely isolated with only one other being who gives them their food and such. This weekend she's been letting me pet and hold her more, with fewer scratches and bites than before. Fewer, not zero yet. I think she's a pretty independent cat and she doesn't much care for constant attention. Which works out for the most part because I'm kinda solo myself. This week I've been sick and laying around home more so she's gotten used to having me around the house and I think she's accommodating. She's so beautiful and she must have the longest whiskers of all time.

Who needs clean air anyway? Dirtier air brought to you by Bush.

People we lose live with us whether we like it or not... So there I was, sobbing again. Bicoastal sobbing. AIDS tears across the land. A haunting and unforgettable personal story.

One wonders if this wasn't such a pro-gay town how this whole episode would have been handled differently. Most likely, it would have just been another day in the locker room. But it's a beginning, somewhere, to show that this stuff isn't appropriate.

James Carville, Stanley Greenberg, and Robert Shrum (all 3 big time Democratic political pollsters and consultants) just wrote "The Price of Silence" on why the Democrats lost the 2002 election even though we should have won. Interesting read: Without trying to judge which bold proposals Democrats should advance, we simply want to underscore that this was an electorate hungry for Democrats who speak out and address the country’s greatest problems. In light of what happened after 9-11 and with the Democrats silent on the economy, they gave the edge to the Republicans, but not a mandate. Once again, this is still the Democrats’ moment.

THIS HAS been a particularly bad week, a historically bad week, for Americans who believe that government actions should be presumed public and personal behavior should be presumed private.
The war on terrorism seems to have stripped this nation of its capacity for critical thinking when it comes to preserving a balance between civil liberties and security. Americans and their elected "leaders" are shrugging or cowering when they should be challenging the Bush administration's assault on basic freedoms.

The struggle for civil liberties is lost only if Americans are willing to concede.

So I go away for a weekend and then I'm sick for a few days and then all this terrible stuff happens? C'mon people, we gotta stop this!

I hate football, but I am so in love with this man. I am so jealous of his boyfriend.

Ok, people, I'm feeling somewhat better. I'm gonna venture out today, but still pretty weak. I've been mostly asleep since Tuesday evening so I can't believe it's Friday and can't think of anything. But I'm off to work to catch up before I'm off of work for a week of vacation-- which is a wonderful, wonderful thing. I'm not planning anything for the week, just taking it off to take some me-time. I might go somewhere, I might do errands, I might lay around all week, I might go to a museum, no one knows. I'm just gonna be off from work and enjoy that. Hopefully I'll be well enough to where I don't just sleep through it all, but who knows. Ok, so I'm gonna try and get this day started.

Oh, people, all is still not well in reesesworld. But hopefully things are getting better. What day is it? I've been mostly asleep since Tuesday night and I can't believe it's now Thursday afternoon. I'm feeling better right at the moment, sorta, but I'm unsure whether that's just a drug-high right now or actual reality. Hard to tell. I haven't been up to the news lately; anything going on? Tell me something happy. I'll be back writing soon, hopefully.

Oh, people, all is not well in reesesworld. That cold thing I mentioned turned into something quite worse. It hit me hard today without warning. Luckily I stayed home, but I am barely functioning at this point. It's better than it was this afternoon, but I feel knocked out. I've slept nearly the whole day and night. And when I'm awake, well, it's not pretty. Amaya's keeping me company, thankfully. Although I think she's still mad at me for leaving her this weekend. Anyway, I'll get back to you. I'm going back to sleep now, again.

Sadly, it looks as if my favorite new show this season has been cancelled, or at least on hiatus. It sucks. I never watch much television and frankly only caught this show because it follows Buffy, but this one was actually really creepy and effective. I hope that it does come back, but I'm sure it's gone. So much for a new show for me.

I gotta plan to take the bus more often.

The vilest of all possible events: the dreaded sore throat upon waking, portending the cold to come.

In the early days of the AIDS epidemic, when no one dared speak of what was then unspeakable, activist groups coined a phrase: Silence equals death. Two decades later, our own government has embarked on a campaign that begs for its own slogan: Disinformation is deadly.

And now for something that will really tick people off. (This link is just for Jessie.)

Just what this country doesn't need: putting even more power in the hands of Ashcroft.

And wait, it gets worse: Even more sinister, the Bush administration has jump-started a "virtual, centralized grand database" that can track our private lives from both government and commercial electronic sources. John M. Poindexter is heading up this research project, which goes by the Orwellian name of "Total Information Awareness."
Poindexter, you may remember, helped mastermind the Iran-Contra arms-for- hostages scam with Ollie North in the 1980s. Convicted of lying to Congress... [he] is not the man you want controlling Big Brother's electronic surveillance.

So, um, what happened while I was away?!?

What day is it?

So I'm off to Los Angeles for my niece's big birthday weekend celebration. I'm already tired. I hope she lets me play the napping game at some point.

I already totally miss my cat Amaya and I haven't even left yet. ;-(

Anyway, I'll be without the internet through it all, so you'll have to let me know if you run across any exciting news stories in the meantime. I'll be back next week.

I'm not finished yet! I've been waiting over 200 years. I didn't run as a woman. I ran as a seasoned politician and an experienced legislator. It just so happens that I am a woman and we have been waiting a long time for this moment.
-- U.S. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi

She's broken the ultimate glass ceiling in Congress. She's opened a door that can never be closed again. The next one is the White House.
All the Women, Independent.... Woohoo!

Bush is beginning some major union busting now. Just wait for the terrible consequences on the economy, workers' insecurities and fears, and the further heavy-hand of big business: At this time of national insecurity for so many Americans . . . I don't understand why the president would place 800,000 workers who have good jobs, good pensions and good health care in jeopardy. I don't think that's good for the economy, the workers or their families.

why is there always something in the way

life and society and people sometimes really suck

damnit

THIS IS AN open plea to young women. I know you think abortion rights have been won. I know you take for granted the right to choose when and whether to bear a child. But now those reproductive rights are under attack and it's your turn to carry the torch....If younger women, who have never experienced adult life without legal abortion, do not become active in the struggle to protect both the right and access to abortion, this essential component of women's health could be lost for generations to come.

I know I wrote earlier that we'll survive the loss of the election, and we will, but I must say that it is terribly depressing reading the newspaper these days. It feels like even if we try to fight against something right now that the Republicans won't even hear it because they feel like they have some kind of crappy mandate or something. Bleh.

The national broadcast and print news media's inability to critically assess George W. Bush's foreign and domestic policies and to serve as a watchdog for the public's interest is nothing less than a threat to the country's democratic processes.

The Crisis Papers: a new online progressive collection of essays.

Useful information and analysis.

Reporters and editors who "protect" their readers and viewers from the truth about Bush's lies are doing the nation--and ultimately George W. Bush--no favors... Ask yourself just who is being served when the media allow Bush to lie, repeatedly, with impunity, in order to take the nation into war. (via Chris)

I remember now one of the reasons I got so fat before--- large lunches. Ugh, I'm full, but the giant taco combination plate was just oh-so-good. I'm not going to get fat again, so I'll be back to bringing my lunch to work very soon.

In case you missed it, the right-wing controls the Bush Administration and the Republican party: Abortion opponents also expect a boost from Bush's judicial nominations... "We're going to see a philosophical revolution in the courts," said Bruce Fein, a Reagan administration lawyer. Though he said the courts will let stand the landmark Roe v. Wade decision because undoing it would be "too wrenching," he said Bush's nominees will impose a variety of new abortion restrictions. "The impact will be enormous," he said. "It will be almost as profound as if [Supreme Court nominee Robert] Bork had been confirmed."

And another great link that I gleaned off Kevin's page: And if you like God in government, get ready for the Rapture.

Today, November 13th, is my niece Mariah's 9th birthday. Happy Birthday Little Kid!

I absolutely love having a niece. And Mariah is adorable.

Truth-be-told, there was much drama prior to her birth nine years ago, as my sister was still at home and still in high school and only 17 at the time. My family obviously worried about how things would turn out. And we're all very happy that things have worked out fine. My sister's had some struggles being a young mom, but she's got it goin' on and worked through the rough spots.

My niece Mariah is a handful, but a fun, lovable, sweet handful. She's strong-willed and sassy like her mama and she's gonna make a terrific strong woman one day. I can't believe it's been 9 whole years. All the memories of the birth and pregnancy seem so distant and vague and yet, I can't believe the "little kid" is becoming such a big girl.

Happily, I'm going down to Burbank to see her this weekend for the big birthday bash and we're gonna have lots of fun. I love being an uncle. It makes me feel connected to family even more. And that's something wonderful.

If the federal government were right that medical marijuana has no medicinal value, why have so many doctors risked their practices by recommending its use for patients with cancer or AIDS?

David will especially like this article: Sunday, Dowd wrote about the status of women in Saudi Arabia, where women can't vote. It rings hollow when you discover that the author frequently couldn't be bothered to vote.

This is a little dated in that it was written for getting people out to vote last week, but I really liked this piece and thought Jessie might especially enjoy another writing by his favorite Chronicle essayist.

Is this normal procedure for handling detainees in our country or other countries? Also, this page shows several more of the pictures, but I'm a little wary of the homepage. CNN is writing about it so there must be something to it. Is this the type of detainment we condone? Is this who we are?

For the record, I am Greatly saddened by the fact that Mrs. Carnahan didn't get re-elected. It's a terrible loss. But, I wholeheartedly agree with her sentiment here: Ours is a cause that has not been lessened by defeat or diminished by the heartache we feel this night. As always, others will come to lift the fallen torch. The fire will not go out.

New Updated Pics!!!!

I have a four-day weekend! Woo-hoo!

I WAS A POLLWORKER--
OR HOW I LEARNED TO SURVIVE TUESDAY

Tuesday was my second stint as a San Francisco County pollworker. It's really rather overwhelming and under-rated work. You have to work from 6AM until after the polls close at 8PM which means that some pollworkers are there until 10 or 11PM, depending. I luckily got out of there by 9:30PM. Still, it's a long day of constant activity. Officially we get breaks and a one-hour lunch period, but regardless it's still a very long day and by the end of it I was simply exhausted.

I'm a nerd and I loved doing this work, even though I was so tired. It was great helping people with their democratic rights, answering questions, making it as easy and smooth as possible for those voting, and doing what I can to help democracy work.

I even got to, upon request, help someone physically mark their ballot-- that was the highlight of my day. I got to be very official, do what they requested, and be trusted. I didn't even think about how they were voting; I was just thinking of the process and helping them fulfill their right.

Yeah, I know, I'm a geek. But taking the day off from work and working the polls was my little addition to the American democracy. And I loved every minute of it. And, honestly, I think it helped me get through the losses nationwide on election night, because I felt like I took part in the system as a whole and I know that the system isn't broken-- it just needs some assistance.

Meanwhile, Marilyn Manson reveals in Rolling Stone's new book "Tattoo Nation: Portraits of Celebrity Body Art" that Madonna's manager, who was thinking of signing Manson, called Manson's manager to inquire about whether the rocker had a swastika among his many tattoos. "Of course not," said Manson's manager. "One of the guys in the band is Jewish." "Oh, OK," said Madonna's manager. "We don't have a problem with the satanism, but we can't deal with any kind of Nazism."

So, yeah, I know. The election SUCKED. So where have I been? Why haven't I been spouting off constantly on here? I did a couple of quotes and that's it? Is that all? Aren't I angry and devastated and overwhelmed. Yes and no.

I've actually been in a good mood this week. No, not about the elections at all, but in general in my life. And, yes, I do have a life outside of the political world, thankyouverymuch. Oh, now, I know there will be much evil and destruction, new terrible decisions, new terrible judges making new terrible decisions, new terrible policies, old policies we tried to stop that we can't stop any longer, it's going to be rough rough rough for a while. But we lost and what's done is done.... for now.

Also, that's not me. I have my own life and I've been having a good week. So why let all that ruin it for me? Ultimately, we have the most control over our own lives. And I choose to live it fully and happily.

Now, we do have the power to make this democracy great and we have the power to send a message and make things happen. I think we did that; I also think a lot of people didn't. Does that mean it's all over? Not by a long shot. This democracy was founded on the idea of constant, regular checks and balances from the public at large. So the Republicans won this election. They're not in power forever. Two years from now they're gonna have to answer to the public again, and this time they have to show something for it cuz they can't blame the out-of-power Democrats. Also, on the whole, they aren't in Congress 100%. They are in charge, but they only have a little over 50% which means that there's still a strong voice against them. And I'm feeling feisty. And I think it's time that our Democratic leaders got feisty too. We've been pragmatic and complacent and accepted terms that we thought would help us win a majority. That didn't happen. So why should we continue with that losing proposition? It's time we got feisty and angry and fully-engaged and fought for what we want rather than accepting what we're given. So now we really begin to fight! Yes, we're fighting from a weaker position, but we're still fighting. And this democracy can withstand this loss. That's why we have a democracy and I have faith that the democracy will prevail and make it through this loss.

And while we're fighting the good fight and challenging the craziness from those in power, we gotta remember to make our own lives beautiful and filled and happy. Cuz if we don't, no one else is gonna do it. So get out there, enjoy life, and exert your positive influence on society and government and your friends and family. We lost an election this week. We didn't lose our souls, our lives, or our futures. There's always an election to win or lose. A democracy never ends unless we give it up or give up on it. And I'm not about to do that.

Again, it's already started: Let's quit talking about doing something for low-income elderly that need prescription drugs. Let's look at what we can do to target some tax cuts...-- soon-to-be-once-again-Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott (Republican).
I could have sworn the Republicans ran on issues to help seniors, but I guess that was all a lie to get elected.

Be prepared, people!

I am taking an HTML basics class and learning how to do all kinds of crazy, fun website things like paragraphs and underlining and colors and what-not.

You won't recognize my site soon. Hehe.
P.S. Guess what I just learned how to do.

It's begun already: With Republicans gaining control of both the White House and Congress, Bush administration officials last night began to prepare an ambitious legislative agenda to press their new -- and somewhat unexpected -- advantage. Suddenly, items that had been bottled up in the Democratic Senate have new life. President Bush has new hopes for action on his conservative slate of judges, his energy plan calling for drilling in Alaska's wildlife refuge, and the policies he favors on topics such as homeland security, terrorism insurance and prescription drug coverage. With Democrats losing their ability to set the Senate schedule and launch probes of the administration, chances improve for Bush's hopes to extend last year's tax cuts, curtail jury awards, cut business regulations and overhaul Medicare.

I know, I know. This is not a good day.

Don't forget to VOTE Today. It's your voice and your opportunity. Use it. Don't be silenced.

"If anybody ever tells you that one vote doesn't make a difference, ask them to come talk to me."--- [President] Al Gore

"Take Your Kids to Vote"
Very cool concept and webpage. I think this is crucial. Children feel its important when they're raised to see it as a sense of importance. I remember my first election, in 1988, I didn't know much about issues or candidates or what-not, but I knew I wanted and need to vote because my parents always did and encouraged me to do so. Participation is the key. Vote.

VOTE TOMORROW, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5. VOTE

This is your chance to tell off the "talking heads" in Washington, DC! Don't waste the opportunity. VOTE

"Top 10 Things We Will Hear from the White House If Worker-Friendly Candidates Are Defeated on Tuesday"

Voting is quick and easy. After my long diatribe the other day about how much trouble it was to vote in San Francisco, you'd think I would be complaining again. But really, it was pretty easy once I sat down and did it. And then going to City Hall and making the proper marks on a piece of paper was actually very simple. I realized that I only had about a few issues I wasn't clear on how I wanted to vote-- the rest I had pretty much made up my mind on or knew instantly a while back. So once I broke that down it was easy to parse it all out and then think through the issues I needed to define. Once I was done, I went to City Hall, spent all of 10 minutes in line and actual voting and then I was done. It was actually a great sense of accomplishment. But the best thing about it was the satisfaction that I was telling the "talking heads" (in Washington or San Francisco or California) what was what and not letting them tell me anything. That feeling of having a voice is tremendous and why I love the freedoms we have.

I know I may seem rather pushy and loud on here on this website, but in real life I barely talk about politics or issues or what-not. I'm pretty quiet about it all. I'm just a quiet guy pretty much. And so this is my time to make my voice heard. And I can do it without letting anyone know what voice I used. I can stand in a secret booth and write up my secret ballot and no one will ever know what I did. That secrecy and voting power is so great. Who would have thought that we could have a government that actually makes it a right to vote in secret without government pressure? Wonderful.

Anyway, now that I've said I'm happy about secrecy, I'm going to share with you what I did. It's my little mark on the world. You may not agree with the decisions, but that's ok cuz they're not yours-- their mine.

Three years ago. Three years ago at this time I moved into my apartment in San Francisco. My first real space here after moving around tentative location after tentative location. Three years ago I met Jessie as we both moved in to the same apartment building on the same weekend. Three years ago seems so long and yet it feels like only a short time in hindsight.

Three years has produced a great friendship, a pretty-cool apartment, two different jobs, my very first computer, my own website, internet friendships through said site, a cat, a weight gain and loss, the last of my twenties and the beginning of my thirties, a overhyped and underwhelming millenium, a horrendous presidential election, a September 11th no one could have imagined and we all wish was just a fake memory, a complete change in political atmosphere and fears of terrorism and loss of civil rights, a continued love for the City and its weather and its openness, a great personal growth, a conquering of my OCD, a fall into depression, a conquering of my depression, new clothes, new glasses, new ideas, new perspectives, new health, new music, new loves, new dates, new hopes, and a realization that life continues on and on and on.... Here's to year four and the great things that will come to pass.

Brazil is apparently leading the way to proper voting techniques for the 21st Century. Where is the U.S.?

Anyone else find the following headline hilarious?

"Evangelical group turns attention to teenage boys"

Also very funny: But the atheists concede they just don't know how many people in America, home to a smorgasbord of active religions, endorse their views. "The community of reason is not one that joins organizations," said Ron Barrier, a New Yorker who is national spokesman for American Atheists. "It's not like we're offering eternal life or grace."

Ever since I began voting in San Francisco I've likened the process to brain surgery. You may find it incredibly hilarious of me to say this, but so much of the voting really shouldn't be done by the public at large-- that's why we elect officials to represent us. There are important issues that should come before the public, and it is useful for the public to have a tool to go around the legislators when they simply won't get something needed done, but I believe we have come to a point in San Francisco when the ballot box decision-making has simply gotten out of hand.

Take for instance the ballot book. Now, while I greatly appreciate receiving information about the candidates and positions and a sample ballot in the mail beforehand (Back in Missouri we used to get only a card that told us where to vote and we would get to the polling place and be completely unsure of what was gonna happen. Very unhelpful.), the ballot book in San Francisco is 245 pages (2 HUNDRED and 45 pages!). Who in their right mind, other than politicos or people who don't have jobs or people who really like to read detailed legal text all day, is really going to read through that. My biggest concern is that receiving a ballot book like that turns people off more than it prepares them for voting. And so many of these issues in San Francisco (we have 20 local initiatives) should have been dealt with by our representatives who can understand the details and nuances better. I am not a brain surgeon. And I am not an expert on many of these issues before me. And yet, I am one of the few people who will actually attempt to read through some of this ballot book and try to make some decisions. For anyone who cares, I'll be spending much of my weekend doing just this. But I greatly worry that this type of over-the-top-ballot box activity is turning more people off than on.

Sunday begins the new season of the Simpsons!

Let's face the cold, sad facts, people. We have taken the best television show ever made...one that's so far into the Hall of Fame we often forget its brilliance ... -- "The Simpsons" -- for granted. It is now entering its 14th season, the longest-running sitcom on television. Even when the show has had down years, it's still been funnier than almost anything else across the dial... Maybe critics are slobbering over the likes of "The Sopranos" too frequently and not spending enough time celebrating the genius that is "The Simpsons." Any show that produces only a shrug of the shoulders from die-hard fans when it's not repeatedly pants-wettingly funny is ultimately the one with impossibly high standards. Everything else just pales in comparison.

Jessie, our Sunday nights are once-again planned events.
