Back! And stuffed to the gills.
Nov. 27th, 2006 01:02 amIt was a nice sequence of days to take off. Bookended by some troubles, like losing a glove on the way out and not noticing it until I was at my destination, and coming back, only to realize that I had locked my keys in my car. Luckily, a spare wasn’t too far away, so while the glove is probably gone, the keys were recovered. And then I spent the next six hours catching up on everyone. So now we’re done with that. Paper due tomorrow, plus I need to get some group work into high gear.
Taking thoughts to novel expressions, we have the global warming mug and the lost civil liberties mug, both of which pull a disappearing act when filled with a hot beverage. Also, the I Read Banned Books bracelet. Beyond that, something that should probably be in existence - Nerd Cliff Notes.
The kids are acting older these days. While most parents, I suspect, would not want to force on their kids the route of cutting off their penis and renouncing life, they are a bit concerned that the not-quite teenagers are beginning to act like the teenagers.
I know I’ve linked this before, but it still sums up things the best way I can think of - namely, high school is hell. At that particular point in our lives, it really is a popularity contest, kind of like LiveJournal can be.
I suspect the following article was printed/published simply because people are reacting to the word “Taser”. That said, epileptics having seizures are often treated like they're criminals. In other criminal behavior, vandals who smashed up a church are receiving "love baskets" from the congregants filled with goods. It’s definitely putting “turn the other cheek” into action, but I don’t think the judge will be so forgiving for them.
In other things that have religious overtones, the leader of the Christian Coalition quits - because he can't get them to think about helping the poor and the environment in addition to their anti-gay rhetoric. Sounds like an ostrich problem to me. J.C. himself said that the poor were supposed to be taken care of.
Another good reason to take profiling arguments with a grain of salt - 64-year old female bomber attacks Israeli troops. The person fitting the profile almost always changes to something else, often right about the time you think you have a handle on it. Regarding Iraq, Michael Moore tells us our only option is to get out and start the reparations. P! tells us this is why they hate us, George. Maybe W is getting to realize this, and has been strangely silent on the matter for a bit while he rethinks and decides he’s going to help bring about the will of the people by recalling the troops? We’ll see in the upcoming months.
Which reminds me. It’s nearly December already, isn’t it? Another year went by while I wasn’t really looking at it. One of these days I’m actually going to have to notice the time passing by. I’m sure that by letting it slip through my fingers like this, I’m missing out on something big. Anyway, it’s bedtime. I have stuff in the morning.
