Dusting off the Old Journal
I was never very good about updating this thing to begin with, but I figure I will give it another go ( Read more... ) -
The Book List 2011-2012
I know I've slacked off so far this year in terms of posting. No year-end review. And no birthday post. But as for the year-end review for 2010 well, let's just say there wasn't much to say. Some good things happened (my niece, and many family/friend visits) but a lot of it was bad and I was in an angry place at the end of the year. I didn't want ( Read more... ) -
Rallies
Okay, I decided it's time to dust off the old live journal. I've been absent for far too long. Also, I kinda have a job now and I'm bored at work ( Read more... ) -

But feel they are doing a disservice to three of their characters. After the events of last week's episode, I felt really strongly that I had to comment on this disservice ( Read more... ) -
Today
I feel better today. Not great, but significantly better than earlier this week. I think it actually helped to shout it out, so to speak. Well that and my back isn't hurting like a mf-er anymore. -
On Religion
I was reading an article today about Pope John Paul II and his path to sainthood. Being of mixed mind about God and religion to begin with, though having an avid fascination with the lengths people will travail for entrance into whatever heaven they believe in (aka what people do in the name of religion), I decided to check out what they had to say ( Read more... ) -
Life continued
So life...still not going as planned. Although it's getting closer to the right direction. I went from nothing happening at all to at least having interviews, though not successful ones, necessarily. I was reminded that the best way to get a job on the Hill is to start with an internship, so that's what I decided to try. Last month I interviewed ( Read more... ) -
