We all hope you find yourself to be nowhere near Iraq. Although there are quite a few who wouldn’t be thrilled to be near the US, either.
Weekend Update 2003-03-10
I fixed the wall above the window in the living room, and I put smaller sections of drywall on the two walls that Kathy and I started, so I have two walls finished. Now I just have two living room walls left to put drywall on, and the corner surrounding the fireplace, as well. I think I need about two sheets of drywall for that, and perhaps three for the back entry hall… maybe a little more. So if I can get six sheets of drywall, I should have enough for everything. I’ll still need to get wood for the baseboards in the living room… but we’ll see when that rolls around. I don’t have a mitre saw yet, so I can’t do baseboards anyway, yet. I think when April rolls around, I’ll know better how far I’ll be in regards to having the party I want to have. But I think I can do it. I’m feeling better about things, after Sunday getting some stuff done. Tonight I’m going to the gym, and after that, I want to get some more stuff done.
I’ll be a fireman when the floods roll back
I’ve been going through my web links and bookmarks and compiling everything/weeding it all out to just the sites I think are really cool. It’s gonna be a long process. I also have some ideas for redesigning the entire site. Yikes. Wonder when I’ll have time to do that? (update: march 2005) Hmmm. I keep reminding myself I have to work on the living room before I start anything new. Looks like I might not get the room done in time to have the party I want to have. Or I’ll just have the damned party with the room half done. Hmmm.
Neo-Nazis on MSNBC
First read this article in Salon about the freak show that is Michael Savage, then visit and sign GLAAD’s online petition to take this guy off his new show on MSNBC. Then go buy this book on The myth of the liberal media, and read why public discourse is being held hostage to right-wing corporate interests.
Oh, yeah — don’t forget to fill out Bill Frist’s Opinion Poll about the war.
Welcome to John Ashcroft’s New Amerika
Guy gets arrested for wearing a “Pro Peace” T-shirt at the mall, and the really ironic thing is that he BOUGHT THE SHIRT AT THE MALL. Then got arrested for putting it on right there. Yet another case of “Wait, what the hell country do we live in?”
Petition to Stop War
Send the U.N. a message asking them not to support the U.S. resolution to invade Iraq.
Letter of Resignation
Letter of resignation submitted to Secretary of State Colin L. Powell by U.S. diplomat John Brady Kiesling, a career diplomat who has served the United States at embassies from Israel to Morocco to Armenia. My favorite part: “Why does our President condone the swaggering and contemptuous approach to our friends and allies this Administration is fostering, including among its most senior officials. Has “oderint dum metuant” really become our motto?”
Strange Sisters: Lesbian Pulp Fiction
Strange Sisters: Lesbian Pulp Fiction: I have a book of pulp fiction covers like this, but the site is also neat. Of course I grabbed all the cover images for my own use.
Last night I finished stripping
Last night I finished stripping all the wallpaper off the walls in the living room. I’m very relieved to have that done… Now I just have a thousand other things to do in the room before I’ll be ready to move in and use it. [sigh].
Games Kids Play
A fun site of kids tag and other games. So far, all the ones I can remember are there. If there are some that you remember, e-mail and let them know. I wish they’d do a site of all the goofy song lyrics we used to sing as kids — like “jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg….” I looked around for a site like that, but haven’t found one.
