( Get your kids the toy they've been dying to have )

Overheard at visitation tonight:

"So I get my curly hair from my mom, the looks from my dad, but I want to know which side of the family gave me the small penis".

I wanted to pull his woman aside and say, "I'm so sorry for your loss.

Thank Jeebus for the Detroit Public Library for some peace and quiet.

Who the fuck chose to have a "Vote or Die" rally in the middle of campus during mid-term week? Yeah, I like hip hop, but seriously... Bad timing people. I can't study with the bass all up in my face.

An intelligence official says, "It is infuriating that a report which shows that high-level people were not doing their jobs in a satisfactory manner before 9/11 is being suppressed". They also add, "The report is potentially very embarrassing for the administration, because it makes it look like they weren't interested in terrorism before 9/11, or in holding people in the government responsible afterward".

What is The Bush Administration hiding?

I'm sure Matt Drudge will have a list of the names before anyone else.

And this is where I show you how amazingly cool I am because I got the hardest problem in my Philosophy class right today. Yes I am bragging, but I deserve it. I've been freaking out about this shit for the past couple of weeks, and now I've got it down.

What I'm learning from this class is that the educational system wins (money) and I win the biggest fucking dork award for useless knowledge. Seriously, when am I going to sit down with a family at the funeral home and write up a truth table for them to prove I'm right?

When I die, I want this problem in the headpanel of my casket. I want to show the world what I had to go through in life just to wind up in a fucking box to be burned.

After reading the SANS Top 20 Internet Security Vulnerabilities, I upgraded Firefox due to a couple of known security flaws. (I'm not even going to get into using Internet Explorer, because if you do use it I feel sorry for your computer. You're adults. You can read the article).

The upgrade for Firefox was quick and painless. I was asked if I wanted to import my bookmarks, history, blah blah blah from the previous version. After that I was back in business. One of the features that I am the most impressed with is the auto detection of RSS feeds for a site. So, when I'm reading my LJ friends page, a small orange RSS button will show up in the bottom right hand corner of the browser letting me know I can subscribe to the feed. Fanfuckingtastic. What more could a girl want in a browser?

R.I.P. Chiristopher Reeve.

Reeve went into cardiac arrest Saturday while at his Pound Ridge home, then fell into a coma and died Sunday at a hospital surrounded by his family, his publicist said. He was 52.

I like this pic of us. =) I am wearing my "Detroit Is For Lovers" shirt.

I love this picture. Especially when the Tigers play at Comerica Park. The Lions play at Ford Field. Pineknob Music Theater is now the DTE Theater. At least the Pistons and Red Wings still have normal stadium names. Lets see how long that lasts...

I saw a stray dog sniffing garbage on the side if the highway. I want to pick it up, but I'm afraid it might have rabies or worms... I'm also afraid that it might get hit.

I'm going to call the animal shelter. =/

The words of Gov. George W. vs. the words of Prez. George W. (Real Media clip)

Bush was repetitive, and had a hard time coming up with the right words to say. "It's a hard fight!"

Kerry seemed pretty focused, but talked to much about himself, and didn't answer the question about how he would handle the war in Iraq very well.

Bush focused on Sept. 11, Saddam Hussein, and the War in Iraq.

Kerry focused on that PLUS added the growing concern on North Korea, and Russia.

Bush was an idiot for his rebuttal on our backing allies - "He forgot Poland!" And what the hell is Poland doing for us?

Kerry talked too much about being in Vietnam. Who cares... That was too long ago. Lets talk about NOW!

I think Kerry was headed in the right direction when he talked about not Saddam Hussein attacking us, but OBL.


Mmm mmm mmm... Another four years with a war loving cowboy who has his eyes on controlling oil, or four years with Mr. narcissist Vietnam hero with a puzzling future agenda?

Actually both have no true agenda. Both just want to make sure they can remember key subjects prepared by their speech writer. Politics is such a dirty game.

It's beautiful out (about 70 degrees). I'm sitting around outside drinking coffee, just about to head to class.

Last night I took some *DAYTIME* Tylenol severe allergy medicine. That shit knocked me on my ass. I was out of it and nodding off at work. Thankfully we didn't have any visitation going on!

Today I had a hell of a time getting out of bed. I took my jumbo mug of Joe, had a Dr. Pepper, and now I'm having another coffee, and I still feel a tad groggy.

I want to make some General Tso's chicken for dinner... Mmm.

U.S. Army Tests Surveillance Blimp Over Pentagon.

I'm really not paranoid over a blimp, because well... we have satellites watching us, cameras on street corners, and government programs sniffing out our email. Still, if it doesn't say "Goodyear" across it, we have a right to know what's going on.

My coworker has a sweet ass Harley. I keep bugging him to take me for a ride, but he keeps laughing at me. He just learned to ride this summer, so he still feels new to it all and is uncomfortable.

I need to learn how to ride a motorcycle. There are so many days where I just want to take off and drive to nowhere - just to go explore. I think I'd want a sidecar for Buddy. He'd wear a scarf and goggles. That would fucking rule.
