Long Day

Yes, it's been a long day. Worked in Charlotte and will be there for a couple more days, so long drives and long days at work. Looking forward to some rest on Sunday. May go see a movie with Mick early in the afternoon on Sunday. He'd like to see Super 8. I'm kind of so so about it, but that's fine.

Off to Charlotte

I'm working in Charlotte for the next couple days. Long days ahead. More later.

The Greek Crisis

Been reading about the Greek crisis a bit. I'm not an expert or anything but I was curious as to what really caused all the economic problems they seem to be having. Looks like Lehman brothers is partially responsible. Seems they were really good at covering up the debt problem for Greece before the shit hit the fan a few years ago (has it really been that long).
Another tid bit, looks like the wealthy can choose to pay no taxes in Greece. Seems that it is a common thing for rich to just not pay and taking them to court is a long process. Also, it looks like many of them have moved their money out of Greece, in large amounts, billions of euro. Seems pretty irresponsible and unpatriotic to me. Looks like more of the "I've got mine, fuck you" attitude we have in the good 'ol US of A.
As far as changing the tax laws to be more enforceable? Well, seems the political will just isn't there (ie, the politicians have been bought off). Sound familiar? It should, it's happening right here. We don't have a spending problem, we have an income problem. Until Americans wake up grow up and realize they are being ass fucked with a rake by the Republicans (and some Democrats), the wealthy and corporations then MOST of us are headed down a long dark road. An America in decline.

Cinematic Titanic

Bought the tickets this morning for five of us to go to Durham for Cinematic Titanic. Nearly a year away, but wanted to get good seats and already the front row was almost sold out along with plenty of other seats. Looking forward to a nice evening with everyone next year. It's a long way away, but it will eventually be here.

Fun With Technology

Well, the tech came and went. Seems the trouble IS outside and not in my hook up. This has been going on for almost a year and a half, granted just occasional outages. Well, maybe it will be done with later today when they look at the connections outside.
Still just hanging out at home. I've got some cool easy music on this Sunday morning via SOMA FM. Great listener supported music from California. Sometimes, I think about what my childhood would have been like if all this technology had been around when I was like 7 or 8. I've always been interested in other places and people, but haven't traveled that much. I think I would have liked all the access to other parts of the world that we have now through the internet.

Home Alone

Yes, I know it was a movie from the 80s. I don't think I ever saw it. Not my kind of film. Early on a Sunday morning and I am waiting for the Internet tech to show up and do....something, not sure what. Made some coffee and have some oatmeal getting ready. Not entirely sure what I will do today. Most likely watch a movie or some anime.
Went out last night. Saw the Bo Stevens play on Trade st. Ate dinner at Finnegan's Wake. May be the last time I go there for dinner, at least for a while. Food was...not so good and there was a big crowd, mostly drinking. I was by myself and felt really out of place. I'm two for two in the iffy dinners out department this week.

Another Exciting Evening

Laundry, always Laundry. Going to do some reading, maybe watch a little TV. Working all day the next two days. Saturday night, if it isn't raining, I'm going downtown to see the Bo Stevens play on Trade street. Should end about 10pm, maybe I'll stop by Rana Loca for a drink or something.

Long Week

Sitting at a doctors office. Next day off is Sunday. I want to get away for a while. Sometimes I think for the rest of my life.

Sunday Evening

Back from Atlanta. Had the Tech from Time Warner Cable over to check my internet connection. He was here all of 10 minutes.
Watched the first 5 episodes of Ergo Proxy today. It reminds me of Lain in the pacing. A bit slow, but it is holding my interest with alot of mysteries and little clues with people working different angles of the mystery. Good animation. One for an adult audience.
Back to work in the morning.
