I haven’t heard any of the SOTU speech, and I don’t think it’s done yet – my guess is 32 “Freedom,” and at least 20 “Liberty.”

Juggling (naturally, in no particular order):

Leaking windows on house

Leaking coolant system on the Mini

Job

Ghost Recon 2

Prince of Persia 2

Resident Evil 4

As many episodes of Top Gear as I can find

The dog

Spending time with the fiancee

Spending time with friends

Cooking

Drawing

Painting

Swimming

Cleaning the house

Man. Can’t keep up with more than like 25% of any of those things at any one time. 😛

So they’re apparently making the wounded Iraq war vets pay for their own meals while hospitalized and recovering from their injuries. This strikes me as particualrly callous and disgusting. So part of me thinks, let’s start up a charity event that raises money from Democratic causes, and donates it to cover the costs of the vets’ meals? The other part of me thinks that then that makes it ok that the government isn’t paying for them.

But if it’s not done, it’s the vets that get screwed. It is sort of strange. Being completely mercenary for a moment, this could be a tremendous PR coup for any Democrat with the organizational acument to raise enough money to cover the vets’ expenses.

Hell, maybe I should look into how to do such a thing.

So it’s Tuesday, and so far this week, I’ve made lunch, dinner, a brunch snack (from last night’s leftovers), and lunch again. Dinner tonight is up in the air, but I suspect we’ll just scrounge from the kitchen, and then tomorrow, we’ve got steaks that we just need to defrost. Not a bad start to the week, no doubt, and hopefully, I’ll get some exercise tonight. Fun fun.

Ei-Nyung made some chocolate-dipped strawberries last night that were *unbelievable*. The strawberries weren’t super-perfect, the chocolate could probably have been a little darker, but overall, they were just stunning. There were at least two instances where they were just astonishingly perfect, and I felt like my mouth just exploded with awesome flavor. Great stuff. Simple, too. I’m tempted to go by the grocery store tonight and get some more. 😛

Oh, also, there was an orange/strawberry/raspberry/peach smoothie to be had Sunday evening, which was mighty tasty.
