yesterday was pretty flippin sweet for me and the missus. she kicked my tail in tennis, 6-1. i didnt have my a-game, i guess. we then cooled off for a little bit before going fishing, where the fish kicked our tail. at one point a couple bluegill swam up near us, presumably to mock us because we could not catch them. stupid fish. we then swam a little where we were mocked by fish some more. jerks. after that we set to making dinner. thats right...we cooked. using a college student cookbook, we made chicken fingers which consisted of chicken things sliced into strips and coated with butter and tostitos chips. they were really good. we also made minute rice and berry smoothies. granted, we had problems with everything we made. the smoothies were too thick, the rice boiled over and a piece of chicken fell off the cooking sheet and into the bottom of the oven. but we used a yardstick and saved the day. following dinner we watched blake kick ass at the open and played some backgammon. i lost...no surprise there.
this hurricane thing sucks. in charles barkley's book, he said quite a bit about how the great force dividing the country isnt race: its class. and this disaster really shows that. seriously...how could we not get all of these people out of new orleans? its not like this hurricane just came out of nowhere. they knew DAYS in advance. you wanna tell me that these refugees didnt want to go? bull. almost all of them would have left if they could have. we can kick the crap out of iraq, but we can't save thousands of our own people with all of our military helicopters and whatnot? c'mon now...
