On my run yesterday, I saw a car windshield that told a story.

Lower right corner, a very faded Camp Lejeune military entrance pass.

Hanging from the review mirror, a handicapped parking placard.

On the dashboard, a stack of parking receipts from the Durham VA hospital.

Lower left corner, a parking pass for the local community college.

OMG, Heath Ledger is dead. *shock* 10 Things defined my high school movie experience and... wow. Heath Ledger is dead. I can't quite believe that one.

I've recently encountered a... uh... "entertaining" cat problem and I'm putting a request out to the cat-familiar world for suggestions. Magadao has started banging on felixthekate's door in the middle of the night, much to her displeasure (and mine, for that matter). It's loud enough to wake her up, but not loud enough to wake me up. I'm looking for a way ( Read more... )

The immigration debate makes me want to throw things. The American political system reduces an unimaginably complicated issue to a few soundbites and ideological sticking points. It continually disturbs me that even the even America's "greatest" political minds show no ability to comprehend or even reasonably appreciate the scope of the ( Read more... )

They requested LJ delete these accounts because they use specific interests to connect with other individuals with the same illegal ( Read more... )

Schoooools out for summer! I have turned in everything for this past hell-on-wheels semester, and now I'm just in waiting mode for final pre-publication edits to come back from my professors for my community diagnosis report. Yes, that's right. Publication. Well, sort of. They publish our reports in the community and they also make them ( Read more... )

Well, this crazy huge project that has consumed my life since last September or so is finally winding down. I can't say that I've totally appreciated the class, but the work in the community has fundamentally changed me, I think. I have a new appreciation for my field and for people in that humanity sort of sense. I've never spent so much time ( Read more... )

Erm, HOLY CRAP. NCSU just knocked Duke out of the ACC Tourney! FIRST ROUND! *dances* I am in absolutely glorious and delightful shock. This picture was created in honor of State's victory over Carolina in February, but the theme holds. All worship at the alter of Sydney Lowe! He knows how to pull it out. And in his first year, too!

We're ( Read more... )

I've officially hit my 5 year LJversary! This is my longest-running journal, by far. It's also hard to imagine myself as I was 5 years ago. My first real journal entry was made from a kids' playhouse computer lab at a community center in Salt Lake City, UT. I served lunch and dinner to the homeless men, women, and children of the city and spent ( Read more... )

So... Monday I was playing disc golf outside in shorts and enjoying the 70 degree weather. Today it is snowing. SNOWING.
