Holiday Travel...

I think I've spent more time in a car in this last week than I have in the last few months. I don't have a car in the city, but do drive when I can. I borrowed my best friends car for the holiday travel, and it was nice to have the freedom to just leave when I felt like it, and not be bound by schedules of trains, limited to what I could take home, etc.

My ass is a little sore though from all of the sitting and driving, but it's the holidays...and there's more to come!

Under Attack...

don't know how to take, don't know where to go, my resistance running low...

Prop 8 passes
Rick Warren as a speaker at the inaguration
Prop 8 supporters now asking to have the 18,000 marriages performed declared null becuase they are now illegal
Homophobia on the rise, increase in targeted hate crimes against GLBT citizens

...I think I must be Under Attack, I'm being taken, about to crack, defenses breaking...

an observation...

when it's rush hour and there is only a narrow stairway into and out of the subway that has to allow for people to flow up and down...it's probably not the best time to let your child master climbing the stairs...or at least have the courtesy to wait until everyone else is done with them and the crowds have dispersed.

much as I love kids...not the right time or place...

just a thought...

Going Postal...

so I needed to send some cards/packages overseas today and, since you can't do that from the automated machine, I was forced to stand in line to send them. It was a nightmare. So horrible, so long and so un-necessary. But the packages eventually got out, and if I believe the postal service will be at their destinations within 5 to 7 days. Uh huh...sure.

losing things...

I hate it when I lose things, unless I planned on losing it. I recently lost the laptop so to speak. windows crashed, and was corrupted. I had to re-cover the laptop and re-install windows. that meant I spent days trying to re-install programs I was now missing, or upgrades to windows and getting office again. There are still some things missing, and I'm sure I will stumble across more of what's missing as time goes on now.
