Okay, so Quigley.
It's not that I don't like him. I do. It's just that I live in Cook County. The House is currently held by Democrats and led by Nancy Pelosi. He'll do good work there, he'll be a positive influence, but they don't need him. Cook County's board president is Todd Stroger. We do. The nominal gains we'll see by having him as our representative ( Read more... ) -

So, on either Christmas or Christmas Eve I was listening to NPR's Joy to the World when who showed up as a vocalist but Catherine Russell. I'm a bit of a fan of hers, and her music this performance was unsurprisingly delightful. What got me the most, though, was her performance of I've Got Your Love to Keep Me Warm. It was easily the best ( Read more... ) -

This was the beginning of a blog post I started over a month ago, saved as a draft for some reason, and never finished.
Maybe I should have given it a week or so before posting so it would have been exactly one year. I don't imagine that serves any actual purpose, but...no, but nothing really. That really would have been pointless. Regardless, ( Read more... ) -
Birthdays and Your Ex - Lover
Twenty-six and still aging. How non-monumental a number, but still, it's a birthday, and even birthdays in between the tens and fives are important. Also, and perhaps more importantly, Stars - Your Ex-Lover is Dead, which I've been listening to compulsively since discovering it nearly a week ago, is one of the most beautiful things I've heard in ( Read more... ) -
New beginnings, new beginnings.
New beginnings. I've not written in a while, and this itself is not uncommon; though, this is perhaps the longest I've gone without writing here. So, new beginnings. It's a phrase that gets tossed around a lot. Leave the past behind, get a fresh start, begin things over with a cleaner perspective. It sounds like too much of a fallacy to me. ( Read more... ) -
Meanderings
So, as long as I can remember I've had a profound like of good stories. They've always been one of the most wonderful things to me and have dictated the various forms of media I would take in. It goes back to my father reading, no, telling me stories as a child. So long as we were in bed before nine (Yes, we had a late bedtime, but when you look ( Read more... ) -
On cross-posting, feeling different, and second blogs.
It occurs to me that there are a few posts I haven't actually cross-posted here. Huh. You've all probably been wondering if I fell off the face of the earth. Again. I'll admit, it is a fascinating thing to do, but it's entirely too time-consuming to do so on a regular basis. So, no, I have not. I've just been careless, apparently. I ( Read more... ) -
I can never finish anything serious
This is now edited, as it was originally written under the effects of sleep deprivation and contained many errors. The dialogue, however, was edited a more for honesty to the story it comes from ( Read more... ) -
The George we barely knew.
You'll have to forgive me. This was intended to be posted months ago. I don't imagine it to be anywhere near as relevant now.

It has become rather popular to hate President George W. Bush at the moment. It has become so that, within many groups, expression of even the notion that there may be something ( Read more... ) -

So yeah, I just came in from stepping in outside and the first thing on my mind was, "I'm going out somewhere in this?" It's the middle of the day. This is allegedly the warmest part of our current twenty-four hour cycle and the temperature (without wind chill) is already in the negatives. Ugh, I wish my coat weren't at the cleaners right now. Don' ( Read more... )
