Royale this is what I was talking about on the phone.

This is Dynamite Hack's cover of Eazy-E's "Boyz in the Hood".

I like the weekend.

I just had brunch (eggs, bacon, pancakes, coffee, OJ) at the NoVEL cafe in Westwood. It was delicious, and accompanied by a good book. It's across the street from Fatburger, where I was when I first noticed it last month. And since it's only a mile from the apartment, I believe I may return elsewhen.

Thoughts

I have long pondered the existence and nature of G-d. Tonight I came to two conclusions (for the time being, at least). The first is that organized religion is pageantry and bullshit. Each man must find his own answer to the existential question. The second is that the only evidence of G-d I have ever known is lovingkindness; it is too elegant in concept and execution to be other than divine.

Can You Solve It?

Press the blue circle to start. You have to get everyone across the river. Here are the rules:

1. The father cannot be left alone with any daughter (without the mother present).
2. The mother cannot be left alone with any son (without the father present).
3. The thief cannot be left alone with any family member (without the cop present).
4. Only the father, mother, and cop can operate the boat.

I solved it, can you?

Ah, Rhetoric

Colbert to Stewart: "What are you implying, Jon? That O'Reilly and Geraldo are narcissists enthralled with their own overblown egos? Projecting their own petty insecurities onto the world around them? Inventing false enemies for the sole purpose of bolstering their sense of self-importance? Itty-bitty Nixons minus the relevance or a hint of vision? How dare you!"

Ciceroan, I daresay.
