Clinton to Suspend Campaign on Friday
Senior Adviser Says She Will Also Endorse Obama
By ADAM NAGOURNEY and MICHAEL LUO Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton is moving to suspend her campaign after Democratic members of Congress urged her to leave the race.
an open letter to senator hillary rodham clinton,
they’re right.
give it up.
seriously.
–the a.r.w.
and now for the neverending questions:
can he really win the election???
is this country really ready for a “president of color?”
and please, for the gods’ sake, hillary as possible vice president candidate?
isn’t that just going backwards???
perhaps it’s the weather that is making me feel down and depressed. making me want to stay in my pajamas por todo el dia. i will shower. i will. eventually. and then i will go to therapy. and i will not get a speeding ticket. i will get work done. i will be productive. and tomorrow, i will take my mom for that very belated mother’s day breakfast. and on sunday, i will read my new book. and on sunday, the weather will be better. i will lay in the sun. i will relax. and perhaps i will no longer feel down and depressed.
dear celexa 20 mg,
i thought you were supposed to alleviate the down and depression-ness. i know you usually do a good job, on most days. but what about the days when you seem to leave me to my own accord? what about the days when it’s rainy and it’s supposed to be spring? where do you go then?
i await your response,
the a.r.w.
dear wordpress,
why did you trick me so? you tell me to upgrade to 2.5.1, but when i do, i cannot publish nor save my posts. in fact, even typing is difficult. you drive me crazy!
luckily, and with much patience, i have ‘downgraded’ back to 2.5. i refuse to upgrade until these bugs are fixed. what is a blog when one cannot post whenever one feels like it?
your no-longer-frustrated friend,
the a.r.w.
p.s. i did try your support forums, but they were no help.
dear reader,
i have a confession — i love comments. leave me comments, please. don’t just check the latest entries and then click away to another, possibly more enticing blog. leave me a comment! i beg of you! any comment will do! it will make my day!
back to our regularly scheduled programming….
Caffeinate With Care: Small Shots Do a Brain Better Than Big Blasts
By Mathew Honan
WIRED MAGAZINECoffee, yerba maté, Red Bull — there’s a caffeinated beverage for every demographic. And no wonder: Caffeine jump-starts the body and sharpens the mind. But studies suggest that we Yanks are doing it wrong. For optimal brain gain, regular tea breaks, as favored in the UK, are more effective than a 20-ounce French roast sucked down at Starbucks in lieu of breakfast.
an open to letter to coffee:
dear coffee,
how come you make me feel so good, when everyone else says you are so bad?
until tomorrow…
xoxo
