Only In America…Ms. Smith Goes To Washington!

Tuesday, September 27th, 2005

Only in America can Anna Nicole Smith get a hearing with the Supreme Court over her late husband’s estate.

In My Time Away…

Tuesday, September 27th, 2005

It seems as though the dirty little spammers of the world have come onto blog.thebalrogslair.com and begun spamming the hell out of my “comments.” Of course, you can’t see those messages because I delete them before they even get a chance to be posted, but yesterday’s tally alone was somewhere around 650 spam comments.

Moving Closer to Normal

Monday, September 19th, 2005

Even though I’m still too busy for my liking, I’ve begun to move back towards normalcy. Again, that’s a real stretch since it’s already taken me twenty minutes just to write the first two sentences of this entry (phone calls coming in, e-mails that need to be answered, etc.), but whatever - I like […]

Wednesday, September 7th, 2005

So as I was leaving the gym this morning, one of the ladies who works there says to me, “How are you doing?” I figured it was a polite gesture as is the norm in our society.
I was wrong - she got me good.
I answered, “Good. Thanks.” Then I grabbed for my […]

More Aid Keeps Flowing In

Sunday, September 4th, 2005

There’s been so many new offers of help from countries throughout the world for Katrina relief that’s it’s almost hard to keep up with it.
Kuwait pledged $500 million in oil and aid just as Qatar pledged $100 million. WOW!
Even Iran got into the act with a pledge of aid. Author John Grisham is […]

So Much to Cover…

Saturday, September 3rd, 2005

General Hurricane News:
Hurricane Katrina has completely altered the Louisiana/Mississippi coastline. There are communities that are entirely wiped out, neighborhoods that are completely gone, and homes that were battered so badly that there isn’t even a pile of rubble left where they once stood.
I saw one story about a Vietnamese community that came to Mississippi […]

The Summer Drawing to an End

Thursday, September 1st, 2005

Today is September 1st - pretty exciting!
As I’ve said in this space numerous times, I’m probably the only 24 year old dork out there who loves the fact that next Tuesday I’ll be sitting in a classroom for 8 hours, taking notes and learning new information.
As I wrote a few days ago, I’ve been spending […]
