There was an election in Somerville last Tuesday for the mayor, alderman (city council), and school committee. I am slightly disappointed with the results, but the format you can download from the Somerville Elections department is obnoxious.

So here it is in brief:

Mayor:
Joe Curatone was re-elected over Suzanne Bremer

Alderman at large (there ( Read more... )

One of the times my car was stolen, they took my magnetic bumper stickers, including "HONK IF YOU DON'T EXIST". I haven't been able to find it anywhere, but someone recommended MakeStickers.com. I'm ordering at least one for me.

Anyone else want one? ( Pricing... )

I still have extra Burning Man tickets, if anyone wants to go this year. I'll sell them for way-below face value - $150 or so?

Comment on this if you're interested, or if you know someone who is.

I'm leaving Sunday morning for Sacramento, but we can meet here or there.

Oh, and if you don't know it, Burning Man is a hippie, arts festival/ ( Read more... )

For a while, I've been looking for a church to go to (and getting up the nerve to go by myself.) I looked a little bit at the UU (Unitarian Universalist) church in Arlington, but there didn't seem to be anyone there my age, and I felt too shy. Since then, I've found Jesus again (he was hiding behind the couch), so I thought I'd go back to my ( Read more... )

In my job, I'm often looking through my company's horrible documentation. My boss and I bemoan it (as do many people in the company), but we haven't got anyone who can re-do it. I've been thinking of volunteering for the job, but I'd like a little more confidence that I'd actually do things right. Also, like many people with ADHD, I have issues ( Read more... )

Man, is it a pain to find reviews on anti-glare screens! I swear, I looked through a bunch of Amazon, BizRate, etc. places, and didn't find a single review ( Read more... )

...in the Boston area.

Gotta go tonight. See my craigslist ad:

What, I don't have a lot of faith? I've definitely been asked if I was a humanist before, but this description doesn't really fit me. I think it's just that I've got a very nuanced view of everything - between 30%-40% of the questions I wanted to answer "both" instead of "yes" or "no".
( Humanist - Your ideals mostly resemble that of a Humanist. Although you do not have a lot of faith, you are devoted to making this world better, in the short time that you have to live. Humanists do not generally believe in an afterlife, and therefore, are committed to making the world a better place for themselves and future generations. )

A little over a week ago, my mother found this livejournal, and read through its contents. She requested that at least one entry be deleted, which I've done. I've also locked all of my entries that were previously public to my friends, and I will continue to do so. Unfortunately, this means that if you aren't a livejournal "friend" you won't be ( Read more... )

I've started thinking and planning for Burning Man. This year's theme is Psyche: Conscious, Subconscious, and Unconscious. It looks like there's going to be some fabulously interesting art. I have some ideas, and I want to record them and get opinions on them, but I don't want to litter people's friends pages with all my random musings (as I ( Read more... )
