Vibe awards. Shoot me now! It is 8:00 PM on Wednesday evening and the Vibe awards are being replayed on UPN 9. This is the show that had the brawl while they were filming it. All that great publicity!

The natives are actually trying to guess who will win the awards. "This is the shit Nigga!" Ah, such great wit.

Three or four of them are "singing" the songs as they play the clips. But each one is singing a different clip all at the same time. Thankfully the CO just walked by and turned it down.

I finished the second book, Luke Ashcroft's Woman, and am starting number three, Wild Orchards by Jude Deveraux.

I spent part of my Rec time today helping another inmate get a handle on his case. He is charged with bilking an 82-year-old woman out of over $50,000. He is a "minister" and claims she knew what was happening. He took most of the money by having her get cash advances on her previously unused credit cards. An alert bank employee noticed her large cash withdrawals and called the cops. It is an interesting case though, so let us see what happens with him.

There is too much noise now to write, so let me try and read some more. "That's my favorite shit." That certainly sums it up.

It is now around 9:30 PM and I guess I should be grateful this award show is only two hours wrong. Oops, that should be long.

The "air" in here is really stagnant. Since the weather has improved and it has gotten warmer they have not had the heat on since the wee hours of the morning. So my question is, where the hell is the "new air" coming from? Or rather, not coming from?

I definitely need to go out tomorrow. I am really beginning to lose perspective.

Sorry I do not feel more verbose. Ah, something the world has been waiting for, a speechless Pete. Sorry, I will add some more tomorrow.

Now today is Thursday and I finally got a pen and some paper. I still only have one pair of underwear (briefs) and I washed them when I showered tonight. So for now I am "freeballing" is how I believe Kramer once described it. That certainly qualifies as too much information. But I thought I should get as much bang for my buck. Ha ha.

I found out that I will definitely have the ability to have my own typewriter once I get upstate. Cool. That will make the job of blog posting a simple scan and post. OK, maybe we will still do some minor editing.

So please standby for a few weeks and things will pick up. In the meantime I am keeping some rough notes so you will all be brought up to date. I have lots of interesting stuff to tell.

P.S. Damn, I got moved to another cell again last night.
