I bought a new digital camera today. It’s a Nikon Coolpix 11 or something like that - a simple, point-and-shoot 6 megapixel camera, that cost me $115. And so far, it’s amazing!
Some of you may recall that I bought a digital SLR after Christmas when my old Nikon Coolpix 885 stopped working. […]
There aren’t a lot of television shows that I watch regularly (meaning tune in every week), but since around December of last year, one of those shows has been Grey’s Anatomy. It’s quite the show, following the lives of some med school interns as they work in a busy Seattle hospital. They learn […]
Also, Black people, but children too. The Senate and House have worked lately on an expansion to the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). It would raise the income level parents must fall under to qualify for health insurance to their children, allowing states to do the same and still receive help from […]
I’ll be the first to admit - after last year’s season, I wrote the Packers off as finished and called for Brett Favre to retire. He had way too many interceptions, he wasn’t acting like a team player, and the Packers were looking terrible. But this season, so far, it’s been a complete […]
Here are some song lyrics.
Title: Golden Apples
Verse 1:
Got a pile of money
Got a stack of cash
So what am I gonna do
to make it last?
On this road I’m on
there’s a forward and a back,
And I’m not stopping.
It’s called the super fast track
Verse 2:
Keeping me focused.
What a task that is.
Keep my shit together.
But hey, what gives?
You […]
Oh my, Lauren’s ponies are just the cutest things ever! She boards them at a farm outside of Madison. They are so darling; let me tell you of them.
1. Sunshine Buttercup
Always sweet and loving, little Sunshine Buttercup is great with children and other animals. In her spare time, Lauren brings her to […]
A student, while asking a long-winded question to Senator John Kerry at a forum at the University of Florida, was asked to stop speaking. He attempted to continue, leading to police grabbing him, leading to a scuffle, leading to the student getting tasered. The two police officers responsible for the tasering have been […]
First, let me apologize for my long absence! I have no idea what I’ve been doing, but I can tell you, I’ve been uninspired to write.
At work today, I was treated to a talk by some man from some sort of business consulting company. There was one part of his speech that I […]
In case you’ve been incased in a case of out-ness, Britney Spears opened the much-hyped by MTV, much-maligned by all other sources awards show, the Video Music Awards, which presents awards to artists who are often neither talented nor interesting. Her performance was represented as her great comeback from baby-having, rehab-going, and divorce. […]
Take that, J.K. Rowling and David Beckham. You were all swept up in the public furor over the disappearance of 4 year old Madeleine McCann. You made public service announcements pleading for information that would lead to the return of the girl. Now, as it turns out, her parents are considered suspects […]
Alas, while Apple’s announcement was no doubt exciting to many people, I found myself disappointed at the end.
Yes, the iPod nano will now play video! And the shuffle is available in cool new colors. And there’s a huge capacity iPod, renamed the iPod classic, holding 160 GB! And, of course, the new […]

Hey - have you heard? The troop surge in Iraq is working. And President Bush says that if it keeps working, we can start bringing troops home! That’s great news, considering that top US Generals have said that there is no way we can keep the number of troops that we have […]
