Oh also...
I'm mostly on the Facebook these days. Check it out!
I'll still post here occasionally, when I have little rants that take more than a few hundred characters to say. -
The day after
America is one of the few countries that has an explicit body of law defining what, exactly, constitutes disrespectful treatment of the flag. Not only is using the flag as an item of apparel explicitly covered, it also implicitly breaks several other guidelines, if you wear it while it's raining, or when it might get dirty, or at night, or if you ( Read more... ) -
I'm back
I know, every so often I say I need to try and keep this better updated. Let's see how it goes this time.
I lost my job about a month ago, due to economic downturn type things. I've done a couple of weeks of contracting, working for a local chain of hospitals, so I've been keeping busy. And there might be another job coming soon - I've had some ( Read more... ) -

I could really see myself getting ( Read more... ) -

Playing Catch-up
Yeah, I know. I need to spend more time keeping up with this. I hope nothing exciting has happened that I missed out on ( Read more... ) -
It's been a while...
For one reason or another, I've not been keeping up with LJ for the last few weeks. Sorry. I'll try and do better. In the mean time, if anyone has any exciting news they think I should know about, leave a comment.
Isabella is two years old today, which is fun. We gave her her presents yesterday afternoon, which included Duplo and Stickle Bricks, as ( Read more... ) -
Star[dust|Trek]
Two things:
One: The new USS Enterprise looks freaking cool. I'm not entirely sold on the short engineering section yet, but overall, I like it a lot. Better than the 60's version, anyway. Best feature? The chromed-out warp nacelles.
Two: I'm pretty sure I saw Stardust in the cinema, so that would have been back in August last year. And I ( Read more... ) -
Another meme, doing the rounds...
If you saw me in a police car, what would you think I got arrested for?
Answer me, then if you want, post to your own journal and see how many crimes you get accused of.
