3:16 pm - HIV testing
|
everyone in maine or who is willing to drive to portland:
today and tomorrow from noon to 6pm my agency is doing the rapid HIV test on congress street at the former club ozone (just down from levinsky's and the ll bean factory store). you get your result in 20-30 minutes (normally you have to wait 7-10 days). it's free and anonymous. so get yourself tested, fools!

10:05 am - one more time

Portland: gather at 5 pm in Monument Sq on the day that we hear that bombing has begun. If news comes later than 5pm, gather thre next day at 5pm. There are plans for this to be a noisy but peaceful action, so bring your drums and your voices. Those seeking a quiet place to stand in silence and commemorate those lost and to be lost in the war can gather and line Congress St further along toward MECA so as to stand in silent vigil away from the drums. Plans for direct resistance and noncooperation with the unjust actions of the US government are underway. More people are needed. For info call Peace Action Maine at 772-0680, email peaceactionme@peaceactionme.org or other organizers at resist207@riseup.net
taken from: http://www.peaceactionme.org/incase.html
other towns have other things planned so if you can't be in portland check out the link for info for your town.
friends? who of you are going tonight at 5pm?

Portland - Day Of - Day after
Portland, Maine
If it is before 5pm: go to Monument Square at 5pm and bring whatever you can to cause a ruckus against the war.
If it is after 5pm: go to Monument Square the next day at 5pm and show your resistance to their bloody war.
ALSO: There will be a large demonstration in Portland on the Saturday after war is announced starting at 12 noon in Monument Square. More info TBA.
Or: walk out of work, school, unemployment, create street art, don't buy anything and shut down the economy that feeds the war machine. When the War begins, America stops!!!!

Monument Square Portland Maine

11:16 am - another reason why my job is good
|
we have new computers.
with cd burners.
that rewrite at an average speed of 30x.
so we can make lots of cds.
because they only take 2 minutes to burn.
and they play just fine.
so then we all come into my office.
and dance to the monsoon wedding soundtrack.
including my supervisor.
she's my favorite right now.
HA!
and now i have the norah jones cd.
whee!
current mood:  bouncy
current music: norah jones

so, since you have a job (WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO btw!), i have some info for you. we always get training info here and for some reason they think i am janine collins (a previous employee) when in fact i'm not. well, she gets all this stuff from planned parenthood that some how comes to me. anyway, this training is nov. 14 in manchester, NH and it sounds perfect for you, mr. anti-violence. it's title is: strategies for inspiring men and boys to be allies in gender violence prevention. i'll save the brochure for you and you can take it in on MONDAY when you START your JOB. why not impress the boss right from the beginning!!!
ha!!! i'm SO proud of you!!

7:26 pm - that guys looks like an albino
|
i feel full today.
full of love and peace. full of contentment. full of curiosity. full of the feeling that everything's going to be ok.
we get married in 17 days. i'm full of the feeling of perfectness and luck that i've actually managed to find the person i'm going to spend the rest of my life with. i've always been the marrying kind. erin is the first and only person i've ever dated. i always knew that that's how love would come to me.
i'm full of concern and sadness and loss for all of the people who's lives were lost or forever changed tomorrow. i'm also full of sadness and loss for a person who i never met. the remembrance of katie today has impacted me more than i thought it would. i only met her once, and very briefly. she is thought of with such love and respect and i'm just sad i never got to know her. i'm sad for my friends who are feeling her absence more profoundly than i could ever imagine. i wish i could do more to comfort them.
a client of mine is being interviewed for a news segment. his speech has been profoundly impacted by the damage the hiv has done to his brain. he agreed to do the interview and asked me to come with him--to be his voice. i'm so happy and proud to do this for him.
i am full.
current mood:  full
current music: erin and her mom chatting

12:26 am - why those crafty little fuckers
|
so i finally figured out how to save files. and how to convert them to mp3's. and how to get the file to burn onto a cd.
except they only let you have to first 60 seconds. so i tried to get crafty in turn. by saving the whole song in 60 second increments, thinking perhaps i'd get lucky and it would sound like one cohesive song once burned onto a cd.
except when they say the first 60 seconds, they mean it. even if you think you're saving different sections of the song. oh no, just the first 60 seconds.
i guess we could spend the $69 to have the audio editing software. heh.
i'm losing my mind . . . .
anybody got a pirated copy of cool edit 2000?
current mood: fucking insane
current music: me getting engaged over and over for the past 3 hours

11:39 pm - help!
|
|
does anyone have audio editing software? we want to put a copy of the song from when we got engaged on our wedding cd. it consists of the last 30 seconds of one track and the entire next track. we want to make it into one track, which i actually succeeded at. except it was a 30 day trial program that doesn't allow you to save anything. wish i had known that before i just sat here for 3 hours figuring this out. can anyone help?
