Saddam Hussein just made a speech on air that made next to no sense. I was fascinated by his big nerdy coke-bottle glasses. The man has several palaces and a whole country at his disposal, but can�t get a decent optometrist.

I got some photos developed today, and are they ever fun! Went to a crummy strip mall and paid my obligatory homage to the clucking chicken machine. It�s one of those toy dispensers, you put in a quarter, make a wish, and the chicken statue clucks while it turns around and around and eventually spits out an egg with a cheap toy in it. I got this weirdass bright yellow devil-head that you�re apparently supposed to put on top of a pencil. I put the picture up on Vegomania as today�s amusing picture. (Take the link to your left, the nifty little pic of me & the scruffy dog.) The little yellow devil was well worth a quarter, except I felt cheated when not only did the chicken not cluck (she just made a whirring noise), but she spit out a bubble and not an egg.

I�m going swimming later with some of my girlies. I can�t wait, I am so going to enjoy it. Getting all my swim stuff out so it�ll be ready to go. So off I go ... bye all.
