Verizon, Alvin Ailey and D&D

I think Verizon's out to get me! Ever since we've switched to cable internet and forsaken the land line, I've been encouraging others to do the same. Now, on the weekend I get my super-duper Napster MP3 player, our cable is suddenly and mysteriously screwed up and I haven't had internet access since sometime on Saturday. A technician's coming by tomorrow to check things out. Fortunately I downloaded my 20 free songs from Napster before it crapped out so I have something to listen to on the train but I'm getting anxious to add to my collection before we hit…

One thing led to another, Santa came early and now I'm a Napster-maniac! What happened was, we were supposed to go to my cousin's kids' Christmas show last night but, minutes before we were ready to leave, India starts throwing up all over the place! She's been sick all week - congested, runny nose - but I think the Robitussin we gave her after she ate dinner pushed her over the edge and there it all was, all over the floor. Oddly, there was phlegm and strawberry milk but no sign of the food she'd just eaten minutes before. Needless…

2003 In Review

This will have to last through Monday... 1. What did you do in 2003 that you'd never done before? Contributed $$$ to a political campaign. 2. Did you keep your new year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year? Don't generally make specific resolutions other than to be true to myself. I am resolving to quit (or more likely, drastically cut down on) drinking. It's been 17 days... 3. Did anyone close to you give birth? Not that I recall, though Frandie announced they're expecting early next year! :-) 4. Did anyone close to you die? No. Knock…

An interesting take on politics and the current election for President for those who think voting is a waste of time: How an anarchist came to run the Kucinich campaign in Rhode Island. Part 1. (excerpted from infoshop.org article) Since we’re nowhere near revolution right now, someone is going to be President. To pretend that not voting or not being involved in the political process will make the Presidency disappear is to be more foolish than the libertarians who pretend that by working to make someone else richer your freedom, individuality, dignity, and basic rights should disappear. So as a…
