About Ramblings of a Hopeless Khowaga

Welcome to my Web site. My name is Chris, and I’ll be your host. I\'m an opinionated, snarky, gay academic with a predilection for the history, the Arab world, languages, photography, food, and music. I live in Austin, Texas. You can read more about me, learn 100 random things about me, and if you’re wondering what the heck a khowaga is, click here. Feel free to browse, read, and leave comments!

I’m kind of tired and don’t have a lot of coherent thoughts to string together into a post today. She (you know who) is in rare form today. I was clearly supposed to zip over there and ask what’s wrong, but I didn’t. I already know: it’s someone else’s fault. It always is.

Random thoughts:

1) Why are people so fascinated with Lindsey Lohan? She’s in rehab … again. She got busted for driving drunk … again. Seriously. The girl’s biggest claim to fame is the remake of Freaky Friday.

2) I got my special American Idol issue of Entertainment Weekly last night. I don’t know who any of these people are. I’ve never seen a single episode of the show. (Yes, I’m sure I’m gay.) I do, however, own the Star Academy CD (it’s the Arab world’s version – I picked it up on a lark in Cairo. The singing is awful. It didn’t make me want to watch the American version any more.)

2.5) I think that Blake kind of looks like a toad.

3) What in the world is “Christian debt management?” Is that where you pray real hard to make your debt go away? In that case, I practice Christian checkbook management: “Dear Lord Baby Jesus, please let there be enough money in my account to cover this payment.”

4) I don’t like any of the people running for president. That’s not true. I like Bill Richardson. He won’t win. I’m terrified that Mitt Romney will win and the alien invasion foretold in The X-Files will begin shortly thereafter. To be perfectly honest, the idea of an alien invasion is one of the more palatable thoughts about what a Romney presidency would bring. At least it would be an unexpected twist.

5) Some guy with TB managed to fly home from Europe despite the fact that he was on the no-fly list. And yet, your country is safer than it was before 9/11. Someone explain that one to me? Why isn’t Congress going bonkers over this? What has all that money supposedly going to Homeland Security been used for? Hiring illegal aliens to build the fence to keep out the illegal aliens?

6) The Big Gay Sketch Show isn’t that funny. Although the sketch where Rachael Ray got mugged repeatedly was amusing.

7) It took several viewings, but I suddenly realized that the woman hosting the video clip Brian posted yesterday looks like a young, sober Patsy Stone. I had to research that one thoroughly to make sure…

And I’m spent. For the moment. I’ll return with a more coherent post later …
