mike woke me up late last night to tell me that all the miners were alive. this morning i woke up and they were all above ground.
the two drug thugs who kidnapped tough philly kid erica pratt have been arrested. what a kid! she must have been watching the same scary news reports as me - it seems like an awful lot of child abductions have happened this summer. you have to admire a seven year old realising that you can't depend on anyone but yourself when it comes to your life.
it looks like lance armstrong is about to win the tdf again. with no competition, according to some. guess we might as well start concentrating on dominating the world soccer scene now. or maybe even get interested in rugby or something.
ahhh. vacation. mike and i have a whole day of laying around under our belts and are looking forward to, well, about 9 more. we are staying at the v. luxurious swan hotel at disney world and enjoying being waited on hand and foot. lovely.

Posted by ash at 09:43 PMLarry Hagman has stolen an idea which may sound familiar to my closest friends - to be baked and eaten by the people who will miss him the most. hey, i thought of it years ago. i have to admit, he's added the drug angle, which even i hadn't thought of. read on:
"When I die, I want my friends to eat me," Hagman (said) the other day. "I want to be fed through a wood chipper, be spread over a wheat field, then have a cake baked from the crop for all my pals to munch on."
Don't think he hasn't contemplated the alternatives.
"Cremation's fine, but it uses an awful lot of energy," Hagman says. "Burying someone in a steel casket doesn't do any good. I want to return to the earth as soon as possible."
Thus, the cake plan.
"I want the cake to be made of half marijuana, which makes people so much less violent than booze, and people should learn to eat pot rather than smoke it because it damages the heart and lungs less that way," Hagman opines.
p.s. screw the environment, cremate me and just bake my ashes right into some brownies. and feel free to smoke up while you eat them.
Posted by ash at 09:16 PMit seems that our blogtwins, lane and stu, at damnthepacific.com have broken up. from reading the note that says they have broken up, it appears that people were giving them money so they could visit one another. i wonder how they worked that? we've been living in different countries way longer than they have; i wonder if we could get those people to transfer their allegience over to us? we are at least as interesting. i guess we have jobs, though. we can probably just buy our own plane tickets, as we've been doing for several years now.
