This is late. It is, unsurprisingly, also late. It’s a new year now. It’s two thousand and five. It’s twenty-six years after I was born. It’s (less than) four years since September 2001. It’s (less than) one year since November 2004. It is, in fact, nine days since 1 January 2005. It is, precisely: nine… Continue reading late entries

warm and fuzzy god
Sinfest today is apt. We can put God anywhere we want, but it’s all pretty meaningless unless we really listen to what he has to say. I’ve got more to write, but also a stack of papers to grade, and some homework (can’t… forget… homework…).
a little bad, a whole lotta good
I’ve been trying to get back into the swing of things since the election, and it’s been tough. I’m behind on the news, and having trouble catching up. I know what I want to do next, it’s just a matter of making some phonecalls, budgetting time, and getting involved. That’s not really the breaking news,… Continue reading a little bad, a whole lotta good
Election 2004: Cleveland, OH
As I sit down to write this, The Kerry campaign is conceding victory to George Bush in the 2004 Presidential election. While I have reasonably strong feelings about this, it’s not what I’m about to talk about. Though, I will; probably at great length. Instead, I’m going to ramble about 2 November 2004 in Cleveland,… Continue reading Election 2004: Cleveland, OH
if i don’t laugh i’ll cry
I can’t sleep again. I’ve also, again, been following the news with an almost hawk-like intensity. It varies by week — some, I’ll stay far away. Others, I’ll be glued to it like a junky. Except, I think, that election news may be worse for your health. I don’t like where this country is headed,… Continue reading if i don’t laugh i’ll cry
little things
A few weeks ago, I picked up some flannel sheets at Bed Bath & Beyond on clearance ($25!). It was a total impulse buy (shutup. There’s nothing wrong with impulse buys at BB&B). I put them on my bed yesterday, and they’re absolutely wonderful. I lost part of my homework assignment and had to redo… Continue reading little things
The Anti-Abortion Bus
I saw this on campus recently:
canvassing for kerry
I went canvassing for John Kerry this weekend. It was ok, except for the fact that it was rainy, no one was home, and I met a republican (who was very nice, just… not a swing voter — which, he was supposed to be). That, and the whole thing was completely disorganized: we had an… Continue reading canvassing for kerry
Women’s Rights in Swaziland
A Brutal Sexual Assault Galvanizes Swazi Women. An 18 year old girl was beaten and raped, for “wearing a miniskirt.” The attack has caused outrage, marches, and calls for legal action among the normally second-class-citizen Swazi women. There have also been calls to make “public indecency” illegal. This law would “ban the wearing of anything… Continue reading Women’s Rights in Swaziland
reading list (reborn!)
I used to have a giant reading list that I was constantly updating. For every book that I read, I’d add between 5 and 10 (it was a very long list). Unfortunately, in the Great Harddrive Crash of ’04, I lost the list (among other things, like my photos, and possibly my mind). I thought,… Continue reading reading list (reborn!)
