I’m taking a tip from Paige and saying the hell with politics this weekend. I know, that doesn’t exactly sound like me, does it? I’ll probably screw it up somewhere along the line, but at the moment, I’m so exhausted by the latest Democratic triangulation/capitulation bullshit that I can hardly think of a good reason to bother commenting. Certainly, national politics are probably going to be an unbearable subject for a while, since I cannot see any reason to trust or have faith in the Democratic leadership right now.
I mean, at this point, what the hell is the point of even caring about Eric Massa if the leadership is just going to take his suggestions and bury their heads in the sand? Sorry, Massa, but that’s the team you’ve joined up with. Cowards.
So, I’m going to buy a Gorgonian coral and some mushroom anemones tonight and solace myself in them. I’ll probably work on some more stuff at RocWiki and take the opportunity to do some work on the website I’ve been meaning to get completed. I can already hear Solera’s wine list calling my name.
See you all Tuesday.

So how did the weekend go? I had a very nice “no-politics” weekend, all of my sports teams won; and I went out and did lots of things outdoors, like taking pictures of goslings, and trying out a new recumbent bicycle. (To be 100% honest, I did call a friend in Italy on Monday morning and some of that conversation was about politics, but hey, no one is perfect…) And I didn’t really miss the politics that much.
@Paige ~ Very nicely, thank you. Glad you had a good one, too! I screwed around with a bunch of stuff, though to be honest, I don’t think I got much more done than when I blog. But it was nice not thinking about politics, not watching the news and whatever. I actually think it did me a world of good for which I will likely sequester myself again. I think I’ve been trying to keep up with the blogging world way too much and thinking about what I was writing way too little.
I posted an article on Monday afternoon that I was very proud of and which almost certainly would not have gotten written in the midst of all the other stuff. Delightfully filthy; I think I was channeling Tom Robbins when I wrote it. So, I think I’m going to try to slow down a bit and be less reactionary where possible.
