Slipping on opinions

June 30th, 2005
Lots of people seem quite up in arms about the decision in Kelo v. New London. I'm mostly apathetic, as I don't really have much passion for property rights of non-consumable goods. They tend to be just another thing that the ownership class uses to ke… more »

Cute, furry, and blue

June 27th, 2005
Let's all be disappointed in what Earnest Istook has to say about Sesame Street and its obvious, overwhelmingly positive impact on society, partially subsidized by taxes. Luckily, that didn't keep Grover down. Really though, in a world where capital has… more »

Haven't had to do this in a while

<!-- Begin ex-wife bickering --> 19 months or so after Rosie walks out the door, there was still two or three truckloads of her stuff over here, mostly large furniture, a box of glass figurines that was in a cabinet, and several trash bags worth o… more »

Which pair of pants?

Vacation from work is going quite literally swimmingly. 1 A.M. swimmingly to be precise. Slefless, the hip new indie band from the Norman-town area is top notch. It's a shame that they don't play more publc engagements. Apathy isn't cool. more »

Home from our nation's capital. The trip was good enough to not make me regret it, but sufficiently pock-marked with frustration to make me glad I'm home. It's the best possible combination of experiences. High points included getting to wander abou… more »

The Crystal!

June 6th, 2005
Friday was spent as all Fridays ought: in the cheerful, albeit intimidating company of an attractive young womun. We went skipping about Bricktown, but got there too late for the BluesFest. Was there drinking? Oh, there was drinking. Was there dancin… more »

I belong in the service of the Queen

June 3rd, 2005
Anyone up for some brownies? Seriously, this is the cutest thing I've seen since the picture of Issiah and a little African baby. Many years ago, when I was a paper jockey for a certain defunct organization of doctors I was required to sort stacks of s… more »

I bend in thunderstorms

June 1st, 2005
In the continuing saga of learning that I don't realize how much I miss people until they are gone, fate has conspired to combine my trip to bury my grandmother with my trip to see Neisy. I'll be East from the 11th to the 14th. I've also gotten an off… more »
