In case you were wondering...
YES...I am alive.
YES...I do read almost every single solitary post on my friends list.
NO...I don't always comment as much as I should. And for that solitary fact, I suck pretty hard. Just know that I'm thinking of you all during your struggles and I get all nostalgic when reading about your success.
NO...I don't update LJ as often as I should. And ( Read more... ) -
My Two Cents RE: Roman Polanski
A rape is a rape.
Sure, I understand. You were in Auschwitz. Prisons are a tid bit scary to you. But you're a survivor. And good on you for surviving that Nazi bullshit. But fleeing the country instead of serving time for a crime to which you pleaded guilty. SO not cool.
But like I said, you are a survivor. And I'm sure you will survive this lesson ( Read more... ) -
I know I'm not on here much, but if you could do this, I'd appreciate it...
My Uncle Andy is in a comic competition over at zudacomics.com. It's called "Flowing Wells" and here is the synopsis:
"Flowing Wells was the most popular social-networking simulated game-world ever. Imagine the SIMS if it were hosted by Google-Earth, with billions of registered users going to and fro, building, selling and purchasing content for the ( Read more... ) -

...and I could be blogging about, you know, the world-changing events happening in the world and how I really don't remember a president-elect being all gung-ho about getting his shit together and how Rahm Emanuel is one hot Jew. Or even about how I went to an Arts and Crafts show today and thought "I could make that, that and that. And THAT? That' ( Read more... ) -

Having just canvassed a neighborhood last night, we awoke at the ass crack of dawn, pinned our buttons on and headed downtown to the Campaign for Change office. There were quite a few people there already, getting all the turfs for the different districts divided out so we could canvass (which is a fancy word for door hanging). Luckily, we got the ( Read more... ) -
Voting Early and Knitting....amongst other things
I voted early. It was a virtual clusterfuck. If that's how it is in my mediocre town, I'd hate to be one of those poor suckers voting on Election Day in a more populated area.
Oh, and if you are registered....please, VOTE.

An atmospheric phenomeno, eh?
Kokomo, my hometown, is famous for many things. We claim that we are the birthplace of the automobile (no one else recognizes this). We were on the Headline News ticker once because there was an unexplained humming sound. We also are the site of the largest KKK gathering in history back in the 1920s. Oh yeah, and in the 80s, we harassed Ryan White. ( Read more... ) -
I'm listening to The Clash as I write this
I had the most random and excellent dream last night. I was at a retreat with some fellow co-workers at a lake. We were waterskiing/parasailing with wakeboards. Sounds dangerous, I know....not the parasailing but my co-workers hanging out with one another. Things are rather tense on that front. But I woke up with the fleeting feeling that I had ( Read more... ) -
Grab Bag
Part 1: I suppose I asked for it...
After years of complaining that Indiana really has no real impact on the Presidential election...it looks like Indiana is going to make an impact on the Presidential election.
While that may sound all fun and exciting, it’s really not.
Firstly, my inbox is flooded with emails asking me to help Barack (that’s right ( Read more... ) -
