So, former VP, gay marriage supporter, and perhaps the most disgusting person in the United States (though that’s a really tough contest to judge), Dick Cheney, was not only a torture supporter, but its principal cheerleader (just had the image of Cheney in a cheerleader outfit flash into my brain; quite disturbing). Funny, the CIA briefing memos don’t seem to mention him being there. It’s almost like he’s hiding something. I don’t see how Joe Biden can possibly compete with Cheney’s legacy. Those are mighty big shoes to fill.

Speaking of big shoes, there’s a new world’s tallest man: 27-year-old Zhao Liang, who was measured at 8.1 feet tall. No word on whether the Denver Nuggets are looking to make him an offer.

I thought the neck was finally on the mend yesterday, after getting a decent night’s sleep (and, yes, abstaining from the demon alcohol). Very little sleep last night, though (another dry night, I might add), and it hurts like hell again. It’s mostly in one spot, though, as opposed to previous several days, when I ached from the top of my head to my shoulder blades. Just out of curiosity, anybody (especially you Canadians out there) ever try Robaxin (methocarbamol)? It appears to be a muscle relaxer with codeine (sounds like that’d do the trick, relative to getting a good night’s sleep), and is available OTC in Canada. They have much better stuff OTC in Canada; I guess since they have universal healthcare, the CMA lobby doesn’t push to make you go see a doctor for every damn thing.

What I really need is a few (more than two) days off in a row. Sitting at work really tightens everything up, and I can really feel it by the end of the day. But that doesn’t seem too likely, so, I guess it’s time to get a move on. Although I don’t know what my incentive is anymore; now that I’ve given up beer, I no longer have anything to live for. Well, except I just got the full five season set of Six Feet Under off e-bay (brand new, shrink wrapped, for less than half price, and with free shipping, I might add). Once I get through watching all those though again though….
