Lori's in town for the weekend! Unfortunately, as I sit here and watch the Lakers finish off the Mavericks, she's asleep trying to escape some bad food she ate at Boundry earlier tonight. We went out to dinner with Noah and his new girlfriend Caroline. We both had a lot of fun, but unfortunately, some of Boundry's more exotic options that Lori tried out didn't exactly agree with her. I'm sure a night of extra sleep will help.

I have a little side project to announce: BondsCheated.com. This will be a site ripping Barry Bonds for his wishy-washy steroid "non-denials" and making the case why Barry Bonds should not be taken seriously as he pursues and breaks both Ruth's record, and eventually, Aaron's.

We'll likely sell a piece of merchandise or two through the site - something that people can bring into the ballpark wherever Bonds is playing to protest his pursuit of the record. This really has some potential to get noticed by the media, who can't seem to get enough of Bonds, his mouth, his attitude, and his home runs. If the media pick it up even in a small way, this could become a profitable project in a hurry. If not, it'll remain a fun little aside to the baseball season, and a permanent testament to Bonds' steroid-powered records.

I just got sick and tired of hearing Bonds on TV and my general inability to escape hearing about him through the media. After reading Jose Canseco's book and finding it surprisingly believable - despite several egregious errors in the text - my tolerance for Bonds, and steroids, is very low. Bonds' recent press conference pushed me over the edge - he's just too big of an idiot to ignore.

Anyhow, enough about Bonds...I have a project for my Securities Analysis class that's due Monday that I haven't even started yet. Yay.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, LET ME OUT OF SCHOOL.
