Shaqzilla dethroned.. Shaqzilla dethroned. Shaquille O'Neal, who warned Chinese citizen & #1 draft pick Yao Ming to "Look Out, Shaqzilla is coming" (presumably unaware that Tokyo is not part of China), has been dethroned; currently in fan balloting, he is running a distant second to the rookie for starting center in the All Star game. Even though his numbers are effectively double those of Yao's, even though he's a three time NBA Finals MVP. [MetaFilter] Haha! Screw you, Shaq!

...why do I feel like it's Tuesday? I haven't been to work since a week ago Tuesday...I could see it feeling like Monday, for that reason, but Tuesday? Unless my brain is somehow adjusting to the knowledge that I don't have a full work-week ahead of me, but can't quite grasp that it's even shorter than if today were Tuesday. I just keep feeling like 24's going to be on tonight. And it isn't.

John Edwards announces presidential candidacy [The Smirking Chimp] ...to much national attention that will not be accompanied by any, y'know, votes. C'mon - he's going to lose re-election to the Senate in 2004...there's no way he's going to win the nomination. Speaking of Democrat candidates for 2004, check out this article at The American Prospect Online asking why we don't have any women running...

Funny - the Salon Premium Headlines RSS feed seems to have barfed on the whole New Year thing...it's giving me the new articles as of a year ago. Hey, I meant to read that article about Ion Storm back then and forgot...cool. =)

Perv Priest Will Spill Boston Beans. New York Post Jan 2 2003 10:44AM ET [Moreover - Boston news] How can you not love the Post's headlines? Concise and descriptive. Not neccessarily ACCURATE, but who wants THAT anyway?

Happy New Year. And stuff. Yeah, it's been a while - I decided to not spend much time on the computer during my 8 days away from work...which meant not blogging, since that would have consumed a lot of my free time. So, after getting back to work (argh!), I'm back to blogging. More will come later today - I'm going to wade through some of the aggregator - and I'll try to be more regualr in my writing for a while. =)
