NPR has made me mad... but I'll get to that in a bit...

First, Obama.  I would have loved to cast my vote for Obama.  Listening to him speak, I get the distinct impression that he's the type of guy I would enjoy hanging out with.  I agree with him a number of issues, but he didn't offer near enough to get my vote so long as he espouses the Separate ( Read more... )

I've been musing on the basis of sentimental attachment today.
I discovered today that a pendant I had been wearing is missing.  Let me explain here, this wasn't some random bit of jewelry.

My kids are cute.  I really want to share pictures of them with you, alas, Picasa decided to change their... stuff... and now, I can't post pictures anymore.  Ass.  You hear that Picasa?  You Are Ass.
