...i Said i'd get back to it...
So, back in August of last year i wrote a post about how everything really was pretty good in my life, and that a woman I loved making a decision that i didn't like was perfectly reasonable and acceptable, and should have no bearing on my world except as through her behavior.

Really, Mr Obama?
signing statements? Not prosecuting people who support you1? Handing out ambassadorships to campaign contributors? It appears that when i said that Mr Obama was not the change we needed, i was right, but the structure was wrong2I was thinking "Obama is [not the change (that) we need]," meaning he's the wrong kind of change when it seems more like ( Read more... ) -
Tricky Pixie!
So, last night, Pointy & I went to a CD Release Party/Concert for Tricky Pixie's forthcoming album, Mythcreants. I could try to explain how awesome it was, but my words would be woefully insufficeint. Instead, I will show you what little of the magic my video device could capture.
