Finally, a domain name that makes sense as a hub for all my other lame-o idears. First job, an antiweb blog listing…

Xian is not only the gateway to the Northwest Region but also a hub of communications that links the East and the West

June 26, 2002A court has finally ruled that the “under God” part of the Pledge of Allegiance is unconstitutional, according to this reports. Or, rather, that requiring schoolkids to say it is.
Precious Down Time
June 25, 2002I expect to do a bunch less posting in the next few weeks. I’m trying to take some time off, some time away from the computer. When I’m at the computer, I’d like to do some organizing and consolidating so I don’t feel so scattered and don’t keep maintaining umpteen blogs.
In the meantime, I doubt this Two Towers trailer needs my pointer.
Jeanty at Jack's
June 23, 2002Thursday night we took a friend out for a belated birthday dinner at Jeanty at Jack’s in SF. Had a very rich, meat-filled dinner, after starting off with a martini and a sancerre (sp?). We shared three appetizers: lamb tongue with potato salad, veal marrow with frisee, and fried pork belly (um) also in a salad. B then had the veal osso bucco, D had the daube (a kind of beef stew), while I had the cassoulet with duck drumstick, fennel sausage, and bacon. We had a nice “big” French red with dinner, I forget the details, and shared some kind of cake, I think, for desert. What an indulgence!
Been decompressing from the work overload and looking at all the messes around me, unpaid bills, and so on. The Sunday paper’s book review always depresses me, stirring up an inner taunt about what I haven’t achieved, literarily, thus far.
not another blog!
