Tonight we were out celebrating Jo's 28th birthday. I started the evening out by plying her with Tiquila. She said - in quite a wobbly state some hours later - that I was a bad man, but that was 'why we love you'. It's true, people love me cos I buy them drinks on their birthday.

rand()m quote

In the wake of 9/11, we [in America] have made the decision as a society that we can never again create something in which we can take pride, for fear that someone will destroy it. Moreover, we must suppress any trace of individualism, lest someone have the desire to rise above the bland sameness that protects us. I have, alas, no idea how to recapture our courage.
