Random Ramblings

- I've spent the past two days at a friend's beach cottage catching up on some long-overdue projects. It's been productive and refreshing at the same time.

- For a guilty pleasure last night I rented Shaun of the Dead. Very funny.

- For the first time in my adult life, I feel tempted to not cast a vote in the presidential election. All the bickering and flip-flopping on issues is driving me nuts. I can't see it getting any better over the next 8 months.

- I've been growing fond of the comedy of Demetri Martin. Of course there is the occasional coarse language and sexual humor but far, far less than most comedians.

- Because I've been away, I missed the LOST premiere and am anxious to see it. I started watching in season two and never saw season one which most fans say is crucial.

- Having lunch today with my life-long friend, Chris Schmaltz, who is a youth pastor in the beach community I'm staying in. I don't see him as often as I'd like so I'm looking forward to the time.
