The weekend was interesting, especially the impromptu birthday celebration for JFP3. We discovered that gin mixes remarkably well with the aforementioned Red Twist soda and that our bathroom can evidently hold 4 drunk freshman girls. There were lots of drinks to follow (I vaguely remember Jager and some concoction called "liquid cocaine" that involved 3 different whiskeys... Needless to say Saturday was spent in a hung-over haze of pain. Sunday Mr. Flores and I saw "Cradle 2the Grave" which was a very passable action flick whose title makes NO sense. Its standout sequence was a cage-fight that started out with Jet Li and one other dude and progressed to a Kung-fu fighting Dwarf and then like a 12-on-1 melee. It was pretty sick. In the PM of Sunday Mr. Flores and I proceeded to bottle the 3rd batch of beer. This time an Irish Stout that was HEAVILY flavored with coffee. Lots of coffee. It is black as night, and our preliminary taste-tests are promising. We'll see in 2 to 3 weeks.

Enough of that. My guess for the beginning of the war (Mach 5th) has come and gone, and now we seem to be stuck in some strange limbo of aggression: too committed to back down, but too wrong to actually start fighting. I still have no doubt that we will start fighting, and sooner more likely than later too. And when we do we will only have Government sanctioned "press" to report on it as the pentagon has said that they will fire on independent journalists. I'm serious. Yay! Soon we will have the Ministry of Truth to go along with the Ministry of War and Ministry of Starbucks... (Not that I'm implying any nefarious connection between Starbucks and the evils of our government. I'm not that paranoid...) But on more happy news, now even McDonalds is jumping on the Wi-Fi bandwagon. Thats right, coming soon to 11 Manhattan Micky-Ds (and then to another 300) is an hour of 802.11 goodness with the purchase of a combo meal. Dear god, what is next. IMO this is one of the biggest steps towards the future of blanket wireless internet. I've got a few ideas on start-ups that (I think) would work in the NWO of Wi-Fi America. Anybody have nay Venture Capitol that they wanna throw my way?
