I got up nice and late (almost typed latte, heh) this morning- 9:30 a.m.- and went about making a cup of tea and reading the paper (via internet of course).

I knew I should have looked away and not read the article as soon as I saw it.  I've been so frustrated and angry over the situation lately, feeling so tired and hopeless about it all, but I ( Read more... )

Once again our 'esteemed' Vice President has effectively given the finger to the Nation and its laws. An entire week's worth of email from the Vice President's office have mysteriously disappeared with no hope of recovery, despite the tireless work of expert White House computer technicians.

Beloved iconoclast author Kurt Vonnegut died yesterday, and so it goes.  The man who wrote such startling classics as  Slaughterhouse Five, and was friends with Joseph Heller (author of Catch 22).  Most people only read his works as assignments, but I actually received his books from my father.  There really aren't words to describe his work or his ( Read more... )

Point in case- I am still awake after getting less than five hours of sleep last night.  I am not tired.  Crud.

So- Today I work from 3pm-11pm, closing the store and such on my own.  Talked to the boss man and we're getting lunch (not pizza) since we're a small crew.  I'm supposed to get the Mustang back today, but apparently they're having problems with the interior, and the car show is tomorrow morning.  Yes folks- car or no car, I have to be at the car ( Read more... )
