Supreme Court Rules Cities May Seize Homes

One Word: Scary.

Reading the ruling didn’t help, either. The idea that someone can take away your house and put up a shopping mall to boost the economy isn’t very … reassuring.

House Approves Move to Outlaw Flag Burning

I’ve always wondered why they haven’t already done this. Then again, it is the equivalent to insulting the U.S. in words, and supposedly we have free speech, so I can understand the court’s ruling.

The U.S. seems to be growing ever less attached to that first amendment as of late, though. I can’t say I’m [...]

Catchy Title Not Included

I closed last night (which by the way, sucked, because we were busy and I was essentially working alone) then I had to get up early this morning, get myself down to one of the court houses and sit myself down to wait. It took about two, two and a half hours, and I’m glad [...]

Frameshop: Oh, Baby!

GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT FORCE WOMEN TO HAVE BABIES: I agree with Lakoff’s suggestion to focus on the GOP’s role in increasing the [...]

Bees Knees and Birds Flocking

Apparently my grandmother is getting worse daily. She’s the woman I’ve referred to in the past as Jabberwocky. At times she seems the bane of my existence and is forever chattering or jabbering on and on, hence the nickname I have bestowed upon her. We had a plumber out to fix a few minor irritants [...]

The Forbidden Subject and other miscellany

A Barnes and Noble just opened up close to where I work, I’ve been waiting for them to open quite a while now. One of the things I got from my father for christmas was a gift certificate from B&N. I was afraid for a while that I’d have to take a bus downtown to [...]

Airconditioning

We’ve already had ours turned on. Down here in Texas it has already managed to hit 99. Luckily it’s decided to go back down… for now. Mom is talking about buying a seperate a/c unit to go in my room. Sounds great to me. Of course I just bought a new computer, so… not too [...]

My poor neglected blog.

Today my period started, which was unfun, especially since I wore a pad yesterday explicitly because my body warned me the day before yesterday that it was getting ready to thrust this unfun bodily function upon me. No, it can’t be the day I’m expecting it. Of course not.

Saw Crash on Saturday. It is as [...]
