Went for a long ride today… just shy of 30 miles round trip. I was trying to get to the Monroe Dam, but it was getting late, and I still hadn’t crossed 37 (which is a pain in my ass) so I decided to turn back. Had a nice hot bath when I [...]

A well state article about how, gasp, Bush is more articulate than Kerry. It’s like 1996 all over again. The opposition is so riled up about JUST BEATING THE INCUMBANT that they come across like a floppy strip of bacon. Confused, off balance.
Honestly, if Kerry can’t manage to get himself elected against [...]
Clowns
24Sep04I have to keep reminding myself… politics has always been a circus. The games aren’t new, and the world won’t end. There is accountability in the process. Trust the process.
The idea of Bush winning another election makes me want to tear my hair out sometimes, but honestly, if this country beleives in [...]
Who stole my nuts?
22Sep04Contrary to the statements of a previous entry (My Nuts,) I am finding it to be a slight pain in the ass to not always have my laptop handy. In particular when I want to hack on Modality stuff, which is a Linux app, even though it uses .NET/Mono. Feeeeeck.
I am not in [...]
My Time
21Sep04For the first time in my life, I feel like there have been movies coming out which are really relevant to me. Amelie, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, the Station Agent (hi ni!), Garden State… these are films about emotions, stations in life, issues which I care about, which I have experienced in [...]
Second Birthday
20Sep04Click for some video footage of a fun bluegrass band at the Lotus Festival
Niamh loves pansies.
J. and E. at Nick’s, the festivities starting.
Now B. and K. are here, several rounds later. Laughter abounds.
On the way to some unknown “other bar.”
Turns out it’s a gay bar. What am I doing?
Let Freedom Ring
20Sep04I started reading the amazon.com synopsis of Sean Hannity’s book, Let Freedom Ring. Sad isn’t it, that I’m expressing an opinion when I haven’t even finished the synopsis, let alone the book?
Regardless, I just wanted to suggest that it seems like a big part of the political debate in this country is about internal [...]
Princess Pines
16Sep04We had a movie night tonight after class. I voted for Kill Bill, but Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind won the vote, which is a wierd coincidence because Tracy just mentioned it yesterday. Anyway, I have some thoughts.
I nearly cried this time I watched it… I don’t really remember how [...]
First time in a long time
14Sep04I went to the IU Philharmonic concert tonight with Will and Josh. Their guest pianist was Peter Serkin, who played with them a wacky Stravinsky piece and a Mozart piano concerto (no. 24.) Honestly, I liked best the piece they played without Serkin, a Cesar Franck symphony. I think we were to [...]
