In which I ramble on about politics and never get to the point. My country has a seriously fucked up budget. China, Japan, and the UK hold over 2315 billion dollars in US treasury securities. We’re currently $127k in debt per tax payer. And we’re still cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy because it’s […]
In which another country’s dictator tries to disconnect it from the world. Have you been paying attention to Libya? (And Bahrain? And Yemen? Algeria?) Well, it disappeared from the Internet tonight: “Renesys confirms that the 13 globally routed Libyan network prefixes were withdrawn at 23:18 GMT (Friday night, just after midnight Saturday local time), and […]
In which Dr. Mel’s going to Iceland next month, so he had to do some stash reduction. The good news is that Mel, in a sudden stash-reduction fit, sent me two boxes of yarn:
In which I wish I posted more. Every time I post, I think, “That was pretty good! I need to post more often!” But then nothing happens so I have nothing to write about so I don’t write and then I check my site and it’s been, like, half a month since I wrote anything. […]
In which I record my first-ever bread baking experience in great and tedious detail! Yay! I am not a baker. I have never made a loaf of bread in my life (except for in a bread machine, and that can’t possibly count for anything). In spite of this handicap, I am going to bake a […]
In which I defend my degree-lessness. And whine. I have six years of higher education to my credit, but no degree. Although my grades at MHCC were only just above average, when I left MIU my GPA was comfortably over 3.5, and last term at WWCC I made the president’s list. I’ve taken musical performance […]
In which I explain to you why you must be for net neutrality. Egypt is missing. The entire country dropped off the Internet today (and the cell network as well), moments after AP video footage of a protester being shot in the head began to emerge. It looks like there’s one network left, Noor, and […]
In which I just realized I haven’t blogged in, like, ten days or something! Ack! I watched all four-point-five seasons of Battlestar Galactica in the space of half a month. It was frakkin’ awesome. I have been in bed for three days with an evil, mean, awful cold. I’m coughing like I’m in a TB […]
In which I tell you all I know about the Polaroid SX-70! I have two SX-70s. One is a lovely silver and leather top-shelf SLR, and the other is a black plastic Model 3 (the non-SLR model). I’m lucky in that I got them both really cheap, and they both function beautifully and close completely. […]
In which…eh. Blah blah blah. I’ve lost two pounds. I’m doing really well on the diet. In other news, self-discipline is not, as much as I wish I could report otherwise, really its own reward. I want to eat an entire wedge of brie RIGHT THE FUCK NOW. I received my new fuzzy-lined Crocs yesterday. […]
