Yay. I got the pleasure of rear ending someone today while driving to work. Ran my tiny car underneath a tahoe at a leisurely 5 miles an hour. Not a scratch on the other car. But my hood now has the ever fashionable accordion look, and my radiator is now wrapped nicely around the engine block. I've got full coverage, but have to pay the 1000 dollar ( Read more... )

Another one bites the dust. Eminent domain is through with, and a whole mess of law, some good, some bad, and even some ugly follows in its wake. Player's was explicitly saved from being stomped on by UT because Rep. Olivera is the owner's cousin or something. Limits were placed on what taken for highway use, now land may be taken for the road ( Read more... )

Yay! I saw an article in the statesman today that said the atkins diet company has filed for bankruptcy, and threw millions of dollars of expired shit away. About damn time. Seeing that article put one big ass smile on my face. And it goes to show that even though americans will blindly follow even the worst of what the country has to offer for ( Read more... )

Blah. House has been dead since they started, everyone is either wandering the halls trying to get their shit together, or heckling the senate. Sounds like if dewhurst can't get enough votes on this bill, then the senate his going to call it quits. On another note, the governor's office had a little anthrax problem this morning. Some prisoner sent ( Read more... )

Here I sit, at eleven in the morning, watching the beginning of what could turn into yet another school finance killing, partisan, pointless red herring. I keep hearing the words "stem cell research" everywhere, and there is a line ten members long at the back mic. Fuck school children, let's stop those handicapped bastards from doing those selfish ( Read more... )

Yep. Once again, the legislature fails miserably. Here I sit, after a four hour recess, watching our government beat a dead horse, and manage to squabble amongst themselves while doing so. The message they're sending out to public schools? "Fuck you, we'd rather make a bunch of shifty backroom deals, fight over which party is right, and stay in ( Read more... )

School finance is gone. More or less. Finally. I ache from walking all day, having new shoes that are asymmetrical, and busting ass down the stairs in a big way. Asprin, food, sleep. Maybe not even in that order.

No, I'm not dead. Just a whole lot of nothing going on. Until now. I might actually move the hell out in a month. Was going to do it this month, but decided to let one more paycheck come in without having to pay 500 out of that right off the bat to give me a little buffer in case shit happens. Which it probably will. So, yeah. Awesomeness. And

Over. Everything. Awesomeness. Ass-busting at work, the first quarter of school, all of that crap is over. Now I can devote my time to other shit besides work, school, and sleep. Like laundry. And cleaning out my nasty ass car.

My classes for this quarter are almost over, as is session. 3 more days of busting ass at work, 2 more weeks of class. And if all goes well, I'll be able to find a cheap, not so ghetto apartment now that prices are cheaper for the summer.
