I haven’t updated in a while. I kind of came to the conclusion that my livejournal was a strange exhibitionist personal journal and transitioned back to paper journals. Not that it is that way for everyone, I just needed to get it out of my system. So maybe I’ll just try to use this for other things.

I think I'm going to turn in my resignation today.

This is a fabulous editorial called "Neigh to Cronies" about the payoff of being loyal to the evil bush empire ( Read more... )

John and I were supposed to go play mini-golf on Sunday afternoon, but he was so upset about the Broncos losing (he said himself that they were crap this year) that he wanted to stay at home and mope. I have zero tolerance for that. I can understand enjoying watching sports, but being so upset over games that you are prevented from doing what you ( Read more... )

I heard about www.hurricanehousing.org on Democracy Now this morning. I was thinking about offering to house a woman, but I’m not sure if I should ( Read more... )

Toni had a crap day yesterday. She thought her lecture went poorly. I thought differently. It was a complex and highly time dependent performance for which there was no rehearsal. A play of 50 minutes (which it had many participants and was a production on the same scale) would have been preceded by many rehearsals ( Read more... )

What a disaster. My parents (mom and step-dad) are okay but they are going to have to move. My step-dad worked for Coca-Cola at a plant in New Orleans. The plant is underwater like everything else. He was planning to retire in the spring, but now he might not even get the chance to work his last few months. They are understandably very upset ( Read more... )
