I bought the CD yesterday, based on the radio play of the track “Nine in the Afternoon”. I like the CD a lot. It’s reminiscent of the Beatles, Billy Joel, Elton John, and classic rock in general. The vocal harmonies are wonderful ear candy and the orchestration is fantastic. The problem is that PATD really […]
Gram’s Catholic-ness
I’ve been spending far too much time with my grandmother lately. Here’s the situation: Grandpa can’t drive because he’s in too much pain to walk most of the time from his Rheumatoid Arthritis and other ailments. Grandma can’t drive because her eyesight blows. I’m glad neither of them are driving – and you should be, […]
Hillary’s Best Argument
It seems that Hillary Clinton’s best current argument for why voters should vote in favor of her is that she can win in the “big” states. Frankly, this is (at best) just plain silly. Right now, the voters are voting for the Democratic presidential nominee. Her only *real* opponent is Barack Obama. If we are […]
Questions, Answers, and Relief
Questions: Why do people insist on driving their vehicles into ours? Why can’t my car door stay closed when I close it so the dome light doesn’t drain the battery? Answers: (to questions that may differ from those listed above) PCOS – at least it’s an answer and now we have a plan IE sucks. […]
Why I can’t trust Hillary Clinton to create a good health care plan
I’ve heard Hillary repeatedly claim that her healthcare plan is superior to all others, and it has sat rather uncomfortably with me since the beginning, especially because of a fact stated in Michael Moore’s film Sicko. According to Michael Moore’s website, Hillary Clinton became the second largest recipient in the Senate of health care industry […]
That’s heavy, doc!
I borrowed that line from Marty McFly because that’s how I’ve been feeling lately. Friday night (Feb. 8th, I suppose) around 10:15 the phone rang. Being the hard-partying girl that I am, I was getting ready to settle in for the night and go to bed soon. I didn’t recognize the phone number, but due […]
Wireless ALWAYS = analog?
So I was thinking the other day about cordless phones, wireless networks, cell phones, and interference. It occurred to me that there is only one way that I know of for information to travel through air, and that is waves (radio waves, to be precise). In addition to that, we have the cell phone companies selling […]
This is great!
I’m sure this has been out there for a while, but it’s funny.
What do Amnesty International, the Packers, and the “scene” have in common?
So there was this show last night. A benefit show for GHS’s local chapter of Amnesty International, the Packer game was (unfortunately) scheduled to be played at the same time. So they brought TVs in to play the game so people wouldn’t have to miss it. I understand that many people are way more passionate […]
Why I do not support Hillary
I wish I could support Hillary Clinton for President. Not only do I think the time has come for the USA to be governed by a woman, I think someone with her values could be very valuable to our country. However, since she was criticised for her role (and input) in the health care reformation […]
