A strange mental funk as of late

I have been in a strange mental funk as of late. I have been trying to organize my thoughts and work on some creative outlets but have continued to run full speed in to the wall of writers block that has surrounded my head for the better part of a decade. This may be the reason why when I started Nanowrimo I was only able to get a few thousand words down. And this was on a short story idea that has been with me since the Clinton administration.

So in the spirit of non-linear thinking here is a quick update on things that have been going on as of late.

Hobbies
2008 continues to be the year where I search for hobbies that require me to not be seated in front of a computer.  Codenbrau is by far the most elaborate hobby I have got running so far.  There are a few beers on deck for bottling and there are plans for a few new brews to be done.

House
I'm fully moved in to my house.  And although I am currently sitting in a hotel room, I love the fact that I'm there and happy that I've done it.

Politics
The Democrats have had their convention, and I find my self inexplicably drawn to watching the Republican convention.  The choice of Sarah Palin is an odd one.  It speaks volumes to John McCain's decision making abilities.  I can't quite decide though if it is more that he is bat-shit-crazy or going after the MILF hunter vote.

Extra-Curricular
The toast loving gal continues to amaze me.

OHHHHH Mittens has suddenly gotten up to speak.

Kwame Watch
I'm obsessed with Kwame Kilpatrick and his current troubles.  I am not quite sure why.  But man I keep reading about it.

Ok Mittens just said we needed to keep pornography out of our schools.  Now I don't know about you, but if there had been more pornography in my school, I might have paid more attention.  Man the Republican Party is the party of old white guys and beach blond bimbos.  Dude he just said "weed whacker".

I think it is time now to click publish post and go do some reading.
