We saw “Mean Girls” at the theater last night. I’ve never been much of a teen movie fan, but few are this well written. The screenplay is by Tina Fey from SNL and it sounds like it. The usual exaggerated extremes of high school are involved, but it’s not as important as [...]
The man is gifted.
Most people have probably heard by now that GBu had a minor accident on his bike out in Crawford and scraped his face up. This is news? So he got going too fast on his BMX and had an accident. It’s happened to the best of us. I [...]

I stumbled upon an article about Jolie Holland and her new cd about a week ago. The review sounded promising enough: girl born and raised in Texas, lives in San Francisco, music a combination of folk, jazz, blues, country, etc. Outside of the San Francisco part, she sounded like plenty of local artists.
I’m [...]
I come from a long line of believers. My father spanked, as did my mother, as did their parents. As far as I can tell, the trend will continue with my brother, and does now with my sister. I approach this topic with a clarity only enhanced by this experience.
There will be [...]

For one reason or another, I don’t buy a lot of music. I’m a big music fan, but I mostly enjoy older stuff that I either already have in one form or another, or else I listen to the radio. When I do make a purchase, I go out of my way to [...]

I signed up for the GMail beta program a few weeks ago. I don’t really need another free webmail service, but it doesn’t hurt to give things a look-see.
I currently use two different Yahoo! accounts to filter the things I sign up for, and the usual spam. It seems that Yahoo! has been [...]

I watched the video this morning. I’m not even really sure why. I heard several news anchors say that it was gruesome, and I guess that I needed to see for myself. I felt sick afterwards. Like most people in this country, I probably have a casual desensitization towards violence, [...]
Lately I’m having trouble deciding if I stay up half the night working on stuff while halfway watching old sitcoms on Nick at Nite, or if I stay up half the night watching old sitcoms on Nick at Nite while halfway working on stuff.
The last double take show of the night/early morning is Full House [...]
Bush can say Rumsfeld a hundred times per speech, but if Rove makes the call, he’s gone. Call it a casuality of the re-election campaign.
Although I don’t have a great deal to do with the health insurance aspect of the business, I do work for a health insurance company.
The new HIPAA laws affecting privacy have been a large priority for the company over the past year.
Without going into detail, the laws are meant to restrict disclosure of member/patient [...]
Gay couples deserve the same legal rights as heterosexual couples in adopting children.
The nuclear family is dead. No law or tax break is going to bring it back. Society has changed, and alternative family situations must be considered viable options for providing loving homes.
Studies show that same sex relationships are comparable to those [...]
I normally get desktop images from pixelgirl but I didn’t see anything fresh this morning, so I dug around a little on google and found another desktop site.
I don’t have a problem with Flash. The problem with this site is that by using Flash in the way that they have, trying to find a [...]
The Marriage Penalty Tax Bill passed in the House last week by a vote of 323-95.
On the surface I don’t have a problem with providing relief to couples who paid more in taxes after marriage. It’s true that the Republican plan has widely been reported as fiscally irresponsible, but what bothers me more [...]
So, let me get this straight. Two draft dodgers feel comfortable questioning the patriotism of a man who joined the Navy of his own accord and won a Bronze Star, Silver Star, and three Purple Hearts?
And, I’m supposed to care about whether he threw them back during the massive protests he participated in after [...]
