people suck. (news story. metafilter discussion. another blogger’s take.) I really have nothing more to say about it.

more from “Captain Mike” (a new & appropriate nickname):

…I agree with Elaine, but I have some more of my own to add:…

I was born in Washington, and that has a large amount of personal meaning to me.

I put a lot of worth into being from WA State, and wish all the extra “people” clogging my home would just go away and leave natives like myself alone.

Not to go off about it; I can see that my point of view probably has nothing to do with what happened…but it does for me, and that is enough.

I think the highways are packed because of all the people from out-of-state, and don’t like all the huge developments and stuff…

So that’s my beef-

-CA

okay, so I’m not a native, but for some reason he’s given me an exception. 🙂

wow. goodness. I think I just finished it. now, I’ve still got lots of editing, etc., but the bulk of it is done. I have this weird unreal feeling, like I can’t believe it myself.

jesus & mary chain, on headphones, while writing the end (?) of Aila. not the tunes I would’ve been expected, but surprisingly inspirational, if only for my typing speed. 😛

so, yeah, we paid the rest of tuition. bought most of the books, too. (ecampus saved me over $50!) of course, there was some stupid mix-up between Zita’s web site and the info at the bookstore. sheesh. I’m kinda glad I’m not the one going back to school. although I really am, of course. nothing like helping your partner thru school. I’m almost certainly going to relearn calculus. but, y’know, I liked calc the first time around. I just don’t know if I remember any of it.

today: paid for half of tuition. stupid bank limit. (the rest will be tomorrow, along with books.)

a little writing, too, which I’m taking a break from right now. cleaning the tub, and the kitchen, and most of the front room. a little reading: Mother Jones, and started in on The Bit and the Pendulum. (last night I was reading a book about philosophy & the Simpsons. quite interesting….)

no responses to my email. hrm. I don’t know if it’s a technical problem (but I got it at my other address) or something else. I don’t want Matt to be mad at me. 🙁 and I don’t really want to quit – I just don’t have the passion.

feeling restless, edgy. maybe I should go for a walk, since, y’know, I haven’t left the house today.

it’s 10:30 on a monday, and I’m sitting at home in sweats & tank top. yay. what a lovely vacation. 🙂 (yes, I still have a ton of things to do. and, oddly enough, I’m doing them.)
