What It Is: 7/7/08
What I’m reading: The July issue of The Atlantic (on my Kindle!). There’s an article by Fred Kaplan on Donald Rumsfeld that I found fascinating, because it looks beyond The Big Mistake and finds that Rumsfeld actually pulled off a lot of significant accomplishments as defense secretary. Also, Zenith, which I just adored back in college.
What I’m listening to: Orblivion by The Orb and Illumination by Paul Weller. It’s been that sort of week.
What I’m watching: The Whole Nine Yards. It occurs to me that, not only have I never seen an episode of Friends, I’ve never seen a movie starring any of the six cast-members, till now. Also, the epic Federer/Nadal match at Wimbledon. Holy crap, was that an amazing match.
What I’m drinking: Now that my local supermarket has a good supply of limes, I’m back to Martin Miller’s G&Ts.
Where I’m going: To sleep, once this issue is done.
What I’m happy about: That I was finally able to work a Terence McKenna/Timewave Zero reference into one of my Top Comapnies profiles.
What I’m sad about: Still too busy to be sad. I’ll get back to you next week on that one.
What I’m pondering: How to outsource next year’s Top Companies ish to India.
