So, so much to catch up on so here's a start:

The last few weeks have been filled with studying for my stats final, going down to visit Baltimore and DC, and then a nine days and counting bout with bronchitis upon my return. Plus, more political goings-on than I can handle.

Stats final - I don't know my exact grade on the final, but I got an A ( Read more... )

I have way too much stuff - I obsessed about this a lot as I was trying to move it all from NH to NJ and am now thinking about it again as I start the preparation to move again. Actually, the last few days I've just been dealing with my clothes. I gave away a ton of stuff before I left NH to Goodwill and Dress for Success, and I'm already filled ( Read more... )

So it's not enough for George W. Bush to pretty much decimate everything I care about - he needs to ruin my television watching as well. I was all looking forward to the O.C. spring break trip to Miami, and now I'm forced to watch Bush babble on about all his evil plans. (Okay, the TV has mostly been on mute because I can't stand to listen to him ( Read more... )

Quick recap of the last ten days ( Read more... )

One last quick post before I go, since I've spent more time writing about fake politics than real politics lately...

Please call your U.S. Senators today and ask them to oppose the so-called "nuclear option" that will end the use of filibusters for judicial nominees. I could go on and on about why this is so important, but here's a concise ( Read more... )

Okay, a very short post because I'm heading up to New Hampshire tomorrow for a long weekend and am trying not to go too much more than a week without posting. (Or else I start getting e-mails wondering if something terrible has happened to me ( Read more... )

Okay, again with the not posting - I can't explain it. Perhaps it's because nothing really exciting happens day-to-day around here. Don't get me wrong - I'm totally enjoying my life of semi-leisure, but it does make for boring blogging. For example, today I woke up late (which, by the way, is a bit of a mystery to me - for a while, I thought I ( Read more... )

Sorry I've been gone for so long - have you missed me? There's really no good reason why I haven't written, but here I am again.

I would rant about the Terri Schiavo case, but this article says everything I would want to say and more, and much better than I could say it ( Read more... )

Outrage of the week: South Dakota once again passed one of the most stringent abortion bans in the country (only allowing an exception of the life of the woman were in danger), that would go into effect if Roe were overturned. They actually declined to pass an amendment that would allow an exception in cases where the fetus died or is unlikely to ( Read more... )

Yes, that's right - I spent last night in the emergency room. (I'm fine now, so you'll at least know how the story ends before you start worrying.) I woke up yesterday, and my stomach was all bloated and didn't feel right. I almost never have stomach problems (I've thrown up exactly twice in the last 10 years) so this was very unusual. It ( Read more... )
