Another telling comment about Shrub's priorities, this time from a Washington Post article.

"The president has been unequivocal. He does not support the Kyoto treaty," said White House press secretary Ari Fleischer. "It exempts the developing nations around the world and it is not in the United States' economic best interest."

Fuck our 'economic best interests.' I'd like to be able to breathe in 50 years.

That does it. I want to move to Canada. Or buy a fucking island and secceed from the union, because this action alone speaks volumes about what the next just-under-four-years will be should you happen to posses breasts and a uterus.

Us wimmins is gonna have ta go bak to da kitchin and make lotsa good republikan babys soon. Ain't no skoolin or edumacation alowd, and sure-as-shucks no intelejence. Nosirree! We gots ta do what da menfolks tells us, like thuh bible says.

Ok, so I'm guilty of hyperbole (as usual), but somehow, I suspect that Shrub would be inordinately pleased if we all did take that attitude.

A quote from the article: ''As far as President Bush is concerned, women's issues are very high on his priority list, issues that affect women and all Americans, especially tax relief for working mothers, child care, health care, cancer research funding for NIH,'' she said.

I'm sure women's issues are near and dear to his little misunderestimated heart. Really. While I'm somewhat paranoid (at least I admit it!), I can't help but feel that the only reason Women's Issues are even on his priority list is for him to dismantle, shit upon, discredit, and flush them back into the 19th century.

If I felt that he had the potential to do a credible job as the leader of this country, regardless of how I feel about his agenda, I wouldn't be as alarmed. But I don't think he's capable of pulling it off. Not even a "well, he tried." He isn't. He's just barrelling over things that are essential/helpful/good, and not condiering the concequences.

Or else he pulls this shit as a way to smokescreen some REALLY nasty shit that he doesn't want people to know about. (Read the forums over at Democratic Underground.. some scary, scary stuff floating around.)

Ohmigawd. This site takes me back to the distant past when I was young and innocent, and is making me think that in 20 years, people are going to be having gigglefits over the way we decorate our houses now, and especially mine.

I'm so glad the 70's are over.


3.27.01, 11:06am

Pity me. I've had a single song stuck in my head for the past three days.


3.26.01, 814am

So some bozo who is just possibly convinced of his own cleverness bellowed "It's not Halloween yet!" at me as I was walking to the train. If it weren't a strict policy of mine to ignore these morons, I'd have shouted back, "I'm on my way to a funeral."


3.25.01, 2:26pm

Added some quotes from last week to the Gaming Quotes page. More should be coming later.


3.20.01, 2:30pm

Someone should tell these morons who whip around corners because they're trying to make time that hitting me would take MUCH more time than slowing down to look when turning.


3.20.01, 7:27am

I am Woman, hear me type really really loudly!

An observation about gray hairs and bleaching one's hair to dye it an unnatural color: they suddenly don't mean a damn thing anymore! Whoo!

(Subtext: I found one today. It was pink with a white root. This prompted an "ohmigawhd.. another gray!" and a sudden laugh, "as if anyone will know? I'm dying soon!")


3.16.01, 10:14am

Fab quote from a mailing list:

"Remember the guy who wrote the book "The Joy of Running" (or some similar title)? He ended dying of a heart attack." - Aud.


3.16.01, 8:11am

I have to stop reading the news. I am disgusted by all of the bullshit that's going on (campaign lies about reducing the Greenhouse Effect, Vermont slamming same-sex unions, Texas upholding asinine sodomy laws from the 19th century, tax changes that are going to screw the poor, political hypocricy). I want to vomit.

So many of the things that are going on in this country.. can it really be that people -agree- with this crap? I can't think of a single person I know that supports any of it. Are there just that many undereducated assholes running around that the smart and sensitve people are one-in-a-hundred?


3.14.01, 9:27am

You know those days when you just know that you shouldn't have even bothered to get out of bed? Yeah, well I'm having one.

Course, with the dreams I was having last night (it's a repeat, but I got to the end this time, at last), that might not have been wise, either.

I'd been dreaming that I was walking behind Amherst HS, where I got attacked by a devil-cat-thing, which implanted little evil sequins/microchips wherever it bit me. I couldn't ask for help, because the sequins wouldn't let me, and they were a sort of dull ache. (somehow, they were beneath all of my fingernails, in the webbing between my thumb and index finger, in my ankles, and under my toenails. I finally found a bunch of people who knew that something was wrong, and they invented a machine to extract the sequins without hurting me, and so I was fine, but someone picked up the sequins, and gave them to kids to play with. We got most of them back, but one girl got one stuck in her arm, and we had to chase her down and remove it.

Usually, I wake up right after I've been attacked, and am evil, but can't stop anything happening.

Jenny Holzer is amazing. If you ever get a chance to see an installation of her work, go. It's dizzying and inspiring and freaky and really amazingly cool.


3.12.01, 1:08pm

Digi-Dolls.. how cute!


3.12.01, 11:52am

Added a new rant.


3.12.01, 8:02am

Whoo! Roisgarden Lives!


3.12.01, 7:54am

Yesterday, I watched Eat Drink Man Woman. Fabulous. It's one of those movies where nothing really happens, but it's incredible all the same. And the food... I was starving by the time it was over. If/when we get a DVD player, this is one of the movies I'll insist on owning.


3.10.01, 8:08pm

I had this really awful thought a while ago.. a cooking site called "All Your Boulliabase Are Belong To Us." (Yes, I know I can't spell.)

If you take it upon yourself to create this travesty, Let me know.. *laugh*

I'm reading Another Day, Another Dungeon, by Greg Costikayan, and I simply had to share the following quote:

"Zombies with swords and axes moved out to dispatch the wounded. Soon, there'd be a whole bunch of new zombies. Necromancers have something of an unfair advantage that way."


3.9.01, 10:19am

So, I'm finding out that I'm this total sensation junkie.

The other day, walking to the bank. It was a little bit chilly, and I forgot to grab my coat. I got blasted with the breeze.. felt fabulous. Last week, at lunch with a bunch of people from one of the mailing lists, again, a breeze on the back of my neck.. astounding. Right now, a stack of papers fresh out of the printer, warm and slightly rough.. feels really neat.

I couldn't eat the yogurt I wanted for dinner, because it had these weird lumps in it. A texture thing. (I finished half the thingie, and stopped, because I was too weirded by the little bumps.)

I love those red & white stripey mints, because when you suck on them long enough, they get all these little holes in the middle that feel really cool.

But for now, I'm going to fiddle with my stack of warm paper, and try not to think of food. (I'm out of cash again, and forgot to grab anything edible on the way out of the house this morning.)


3.6.01, 2:41pm

The headache isn't gone yet. I've already taken advil. I'm about to down two more of the little things in the hope that they'll work.


3.6.01, 12:43pm

I have this headache that feels like someone kicked me between the eyes. I need to get away from my computer, but somehow, I can't. I think I'm attached to it by some variation of umbilical cord.


3.5.01, 7:11pm

Updated the gaming quotes page. I hate it when the net goes down while I'm in the middle of typing something.


3.2.01, 3:32pm

Ceren, damn her green-haired self, managed to unstick the N'Sync song, and firmly lodge songs from Dance Dance Revolution in my brain. Yaarrgh!


3.2.01, 8:34am

Shoot me now.

I have that damn boyband "bye bye" song lodged firmly in my head, and even finding my copy of Skinny Puppy's Rabies this morning so I can listen to very loudly hasn't made it go away (now I merely have some of the samples running along side of the damned sticky song.)

Arregh!


2.28.01, 6:33pm

A slight change to the look, some new areas of the site opened up for public consumption, and as soon as Mike gets home, a message board, because I can.


2.27.01, 9:16am

Man.. Did Chelsea Clinton turn down John Derbyshire for a date or something?


2.26.01, 9:57am

So we moved this weekend. Huzzah.

What this means is that I won't be able to find anything for the next few weeks, and we won't have DSL for a while.

Uck.


2.24.01, 3:33pm

I just put a bunch of my old ElfQuest comics on ebay. Go see.


2.22.01, 5:11pm

This is so my life.. every time I've gone outside today, it's rained.


2.21.01, 1:12pm

I think I've got it figured out.. I think I know why I'm getting stared at all of the sudden.. Goth is fashionable again, and people are trying to figure out just how I got myself so fashionably bleak and dishevelled (spell that right on your end, please. I'll look it up later.) without looking like I *tried* to look bleak and messy.

Or else I've got a bigass neon sign above my head that says "Please stare at me."


2.20.01, 2:20pm

They're doing it again. I swear, there is some conspiracy to make me freak out because people keep staring at me. No joke.

There really isn't anything that weird about me, and I *know* I'm not that gorgeous that people can't take their eyes off me.

What is is with these anime-themed web sites that pop up a dinky window for content? I've been joining webrings right and left (ok, so only three.. I'm picky), and half the sites I come across are doing this. It's annoying as hell, because I go from a nice big screen to read on, to a tiny little 400 x 400 square of pale pink text on a white background. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if *everybody* wasn't doing it.

So, my loyal readers (all three of you), you hereby have my oath never to do that to my site. I may shake things up from time to time, but I rather like the current format. It's easy to update/maintain, works in everything I've tested it with, and I'm content with it. So get used to the white on black hell that is my page. *laugh*

And stop staring at me!


2.19.01, 3:20pm

You know, I don't think I've done *anything* today. How lame is that?
