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!)
Indefinite Deferral
I went to the law school today to donate blood. It’s been a bit more than a year since the last time I went. I had been to India recently, and there is, they tell me a chance I might have malaria. If I don’t develop signs of malaria in the next year, I’m allowed… Continue reading Indefinite Deferral
