In which I argue with our collective conscience. Everyone’s pissed off at BP. They’re so mad they want to put the company out of business right this goddamned instant. At protests, their posters say things like, “BP gets rich, the people and the planet pay the price” and “Seize BP’s assets!” (1) The heartbreaking images […]
In which I share a little revelation I had last night. While chatting with Mel over IM, I made an offhand comment containing that famous axiom from 80’s flick War Games: “The only winning move is not to play.” And then I realized how very much I believe that. If I find myself in a […]
In which there’s a short story, apropos of nothing. 1. His name was Randy and he was a total pud, but he was so big and lurking and earnest that putting up with him had the advantage of keeping all the other jobless, vid-playing puds out of my personal orbit. “I’m going because it’ll be […]
In which there are a few unrelated things. Good news! I got half of my CAT/TB response back in the mail already, and my CAT application has been approved! This means that I no longer have to look for work, they’ll just give me my UI benefits until May of 2011. Yesterday I logged into […]
Being a running list: exiguious manque approbation ratiocenation
In which I share the story of my 2010 pilgrimage to Mother’s feet. Guru brahma gurur visnuh gurudevo mahesvarah guru saksat parambrahma tasmai srigurave namah (I prostrate to that Sri Guru who is Brahma, Vishnu, and God Maheshwara, and who is verily the Supreme Absolute Itself.) At the very front of the archana book, there […]
In which I’ve completed phase one of the Back To School project. A week ago I went to a training benefits meeting at WorkSource, and they gave me an application to fill out. In the last week I did just that, then attached about 17 pages of appendices, applied to WWCC and for financial aid, […]
In which I heartily approve. Yes. Yes, yes, yes. Yes. If you’re not familiar with the details of the good doctor’s story, Dr. Wakefield is the guy who published the shoddy research that led thousands of people to believe that there was a link between certain vaccinations and autism. I say ‘shoddy’ because The Lancet […]
In which I’m torn between really liking a device that works well, and feeling like I should never use it again. Last December, I bought myself an Amazon Kindle as a Christmas-slash-layoff present. I bought it not because I didn’t already have a way to read ebooks (I have four separate ebook apps on my […]
In which we take a look at the blue dog for a sec. Best dog ever, scowling at me for making her sit while I snap her picture with my cell phone.
