Who IS John Ashcroft. Two short Bios:
A relatively neutral one from Wikipedia, and a must read from rotten.com’s library:
“It’s just our luck that the one principled politician in the history of the United States would have to have principles like these.” – rotten.com library
In other topics, I ran across a short quote which I can attribute via email if anyone wants.
Basically, this was the writer’s comment in response to someone who sounded a lot like me.
Yes, we shall revolt! But right after I finish this bag of chips and coke! The time is now! But not before this episode of Seinfeld is over! We shall overcome our enemies, right after I finish buttoning up my new shirt from The GAP!
Yeah, yeah, I know, I KNOW.
Oh yeah, I really can’t do anything until after I subject my poor readers to another bad pun:
5. Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a root canal? He wanted to transcend dental medication.
Anyhoo, an old friend of mine was up visiting for part of this week. It would have caused some folks no end of amusement to hear me arguing the “cars are not the problem” side of things. Seriously.
I apologize again for the relatively low quality of posting lately. Since I’ve got laid off, I actually have a vague chance of catching up with stuff, so rather than be paralyzed into inaction like I was for the last … oh, year or so … I’ve been trying to get stuff done. That combined with a bit of social life, standard surfing, and the like has been eating up a lot of time.
The down side is, I didn’t get nearly as much done as I wanted to this week. The lawn’s still not mowed, the house still isn’t rearranged, and the finances still aren’t caught up on. On the up side though, I’m getting back on track with a few other things, so that’s good.
Tomorrow’s Friday, I’ll do a bit more coding, a bit more reading, maybe move a thing or two around, but I’m not sure I’m up for the full project yet. Possibly mow the lawn, but I’m still hoping to find a neighborhood kid to pay to do that one. The cool thing is, I still feel like a huge burden’s been lifted off of me. I can’t imagine what it’ll be like when I actually catch up.
Finally, a really interesting job opportunity has popped up. Downside is that it is based out of Brooklyn Center and requires a few skills I don’t have, but could probably come up to speed with. I don’t want to have to go to Brooklyn Center though, but then again, working on http://www.wolf.org would be pretty cool.
Hrm. I’ll think on it for a bit.
