I had a whole post ready about my weekend and why I didn’t post yesterday, then Wordpress ate it. I just don’t have the energy to write another one at the moment. So, news for you. It’s the least I can do… truly
Things to do in Syria when you’re …well…a terrorist.
A fantasy film. I would like to state for the record that I am a pacifist and I don’t belive that murder, war and violence are the answer. But I’m not perfect and this tickled a spot in my mind better left to dark musings while I am alone.
I must controll my road rage on I-4, otherwise I may get shot. I doubt if this will quell my pissy nature when stupid people do stupid things. I rarely get cut off. I’m usually going fast enough to pass the moron. Occasionally there are buttheads, but I chase them down and shoot them. Just kidding!
Tucker Carlson to dance? I can’t stand this man. I hope he falls flat on his face. I know it’s not nice to wish ill on others, but he ticks me off.
But as far as reality tv goes, I like Top Chef and Project Runway. Okay, so that had nothing to do with news, really, but I thought I would stretch it out a little bit. Bite me! It’s my blog! 
I don’t know if you like Bill Mahr, but this essay really made me think. He’s got a point. I don’t know if the link will work (I have a Salon account) but I can cut the text if you want to read it.
Shock the squirrel. Uhm. Okay. I like squirrels. I feed them. This morning, as I drove down Virginia, I saw 3 of them running across the powerlines over the street. It was cute. Please don’t shock the squirrel.
I said this two summers ago when we got pounded with hurricanes. It’s kind of scary because BBC’s science page is full of global warming stories.
Bush still wants war. Elections, an anniversary, and politics cloud this issue. I don’t know what’s right. We fucked up (and notice I say “we” because as much as I am disgusted with the government, I am still a part of this country. It’s like having a family member you are embarrased of).We need to fix it. I don’t know how. But appealing to fear, yet again, doesn’t work for me. And instead of using the anniversary of 9/11 as a platform for politics, the best way to honor the dead is to celebrate their memory, not the mistakes we have made as a country since their death.
Perform for the green. This is one of the many reasons why I want to move to Portland. I know it will happen. And I am woman enough to admit to being jealous of Cat’s new life in Portland. I wanna move. In time, I know. But I am an impatient little booger!
Inspiration to ride. I am not going to bitch about not being able to ride fast anymore. I should hush my mouth.
That’s all for the morning. I have tons of stuff to do and not much time to do it in. Such is life. Happy Tuesday.

I had a similar wordpress experience - wrote a long weekend happenings entry and it somehow *poof* vanished. I should know better, and David (J) has told me numerous times to write in Word and edit in Wordpress. But do I listen? No.

I usually write it in word, but I like spaces between my paragraphs and the code gets all funky when I paste it into wordpress. I can’t spell - at all, which is why I use word. But many mornings, before coffee, I just type it into wordpress. I should know better, really. I don’t follow my own advice either.

Where in the hell do you find this stuff. Really. You are an internet hound on the search for a fresh hunt. And if you enjoy comedy about the president check out this link

FOR GREAT JUSTICE

Ahh. I have made the internet my bitch! wh00t! and I shall check this out when I get to school. They frown upon the internets here at work, which is why I’m on meebo all frackin day …ehehe

If you sit at a desk you learn to master web surfing. I am becoming a guru myself. But I can’t do it for too long; desk jobs make your ass fat… eventually.
September 12th, 2006 at 9:32 am
Ahh, yes, the fat-ass syndrome. I suffer from it most cruelly. They really should put a treadmill in my cube so that I can stroll while I slack. Then I can be the little data-monkey on a wheel. I could power my computer with my walking! Ahhh… I wonder if I can request a treadmill from IT…hmm…

We have some dept. of health and human svcs. who will come into my office and make sure my desk set-up is ergonomically correct. I wonder if they’ll also give me a foot rest that doesn’t have a huge crack in the middle, defeating its purpose.
September 12th, 2006 at 9:58 am
I wish they paid attention to ergonomics here. Everynight I end up with burning arms and wrists from my carpal tunnel. AND my footrest is my space-heater. Not comfy. And isn’t it sad that I need a space heater and a sweater because they keep this building so damn cold. Guess the water and power company don’t believe in conservation. Figures.

At least they let you have a heater; it’s a fire hazard here and they wouldn’t allow it.
September 12th, 2006 at 10:26 am
What do you do then? Bundle up?

For the first 3 weeks, I wore fuzzy socks and a sweater, going outside to thaw every now and then. They FINALLY fixed it; realizing that something was blocked up there not allowing the A/C to turn off. Now it is a comfy 73 all the time.
