Free tea?

Adagio is giving away free tea samples if you link to them. Try some tea!

Want some coffee? Hate Starbucks?

2005-04-05T12:42:24Z

A great locator site for non-Starbucks coffeeshops.

You can submit your local coffeeshops so they will show up on the locator if they don't already.

Bill O'Reilly and France

2004-08-25T19:12:40Z

This is great. Bill O'Reilly was interviewing a Canadian official, and suggested that if Canada were to grant asylum to draft dodgers, it would suffer a boycott similar to the one O'Reilly promoted against France. He said that France had lost billions of dollars, according to the Paris Business Review. Only one problem. There is NO Paris Business Review...

... or is there?

Rush Limbaugh: Still a Big Fat Idiot.

2004-08-18T18:01:22Z

So, as reported on the Al Franken show a couple minutes ago, Rush Limbaugh apparently recently said that he does not think homeless people have the right to vote. He commented on a recent drive to register homeless people to vote, saying (not an exact quote, unfortunately) "What, you don't have to have an address to vote? Lemme go look at my voter registration card. Well, I guess if you're a Democrat you can do whatever you want."

I know that there's far too many answers to this question, but what in God's name is wrong with this man? Listening to the quote, it sounds like he HONESTLY believes that homeless people can't vote. Why do people actually believe what this man says???

ARGHHHHHH!!!!!!

Off to Gencon.

2004-08-18T16:34:42Z

Well, I'm going to indulge the huge Nerd inside of me for the weekend. Headed to the biggest Nerd gathering I know of, GenCon. Four days of non-stop gaming. Board games, roleplaying, and general Nerdly activities.

Woo!

Damn.

2004-08-17T14:57:16Z

Well, now that I've got LJ friends, I guess I need to post more often. Heh. Let's see what I can do about that.

The wisdom of our President.

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."

Help defeat the INDUCE act!!!

2004-06-29T15:04:22Z

http://www.boingboing.net/2004/06/28/savetheipodcom.html

For those of you who don't know, the INDUCE act, which is currently being fast-tracked in Congress, has the potential to make the iPod and all devices like it illegal.

Ok, this is just wrong.

I'm frightened.

Exercise

2004-06-09T19:07:58Z

Well, if I do end up getting cats, I guess I'll have to get this book.

I mean, really, who DOESN'T want to get their exercise like this:

I'm really looking forward to the "dead cat lift".

Hmmm... Ok, maybe I shouldn't get cats.

What with Europe and all...

2004-06-09T13:21:09Z

... I stopped updating! Oh well, let's try this again.

I can't stop laughing.

Dear lord, these are funny. I feel horrible for the kids, though.

Irony on the air.

2004-05-12T16:25:48Z

Does anyone else find the horrible, repetitive Supercuts commercials on Air America Radio to be slightly ironic?

I'm just saying, it's wierd when you've got a commercial with a mother whose dream is that her son will become a big corporate executive on a leftist radio network.

Disney - Not Just Making Crappy Kid Flicks...

2004-05-05T13:23:44Z

They're also preventing the public from seeing (possibly) important films.

Disney squashes Michael Moore's new film.

I love the reason Disney gives for this:

"Mr. Moore's film is deemed to be against Disney's interests not because of the company's business dealings with the government but because Disney caters to families of all political stripes and believes Mr. Moore's film, which does not have a release date, could alienate many."

As if the majority of America actually connects Disney to Miramax. Argh.

Really!

Stuffed Ebola! And many other diseases!

Air America

2004-04-30T17:11:22Z

Why in God's name must they have that shrill harpy Randi Rhodes every afternoon!? She causes me to change the channel for the hours between Al Franken and Janeane Garofalo.

ARRRRGH!!!

2004-04-29T18:20:43Z

Apparently Sinclair Broadcast Group, which owns 8 ABC affiliates (among about 60 total stations), is forcing all of its stations to preempt Nightline tomorrow night. Why? Because Ted Koppel is going to be reading the names of all the U.S. servicemen and women killed in Iraq to date.

Are you kidding me?????

Here's the story.

High-life vs. Real life

2004-04-28T16:19:51Z

So recently I chose a high-paying, somewhat morally corrupt job over a move to California in search of a low-paying, also somewhat morally corrupt but much more personally fulfilling job. I went with stability, my friends, and the ability to save some money for the future. Of course, once I started the job, I moved into an apartment that cost way more than I can afford and still be able to save money. So there goes that benefit. And I've recently discover that I won't be getting some perks that I was led to believe I would receive with this job.

Of course, now I have a very nice apartment, I'm still close to my friends, and of course this job looks great on my resume. So it was still probably the best decision.

But sometimes I think about the sun shining on the Pacific Ocean as I sit on the beach, and I wonder.

Things I want to buy but probably shouldn't, Volume I.

2004-04-28T15:52:04Z

Today I've been thinking about purchasing a Wacom Graphics Tablet for my computing needs. Except I don't really have any computing needs that require a tablet. I mean, I wish I could create art on the computer, but I'm fairly hopelessly untalented when it comes to using my hands to create something. So, I've successfully stopped myself from buying this for today.

Of course, there's always the chance of me buying in later in a fit of unrestrained greed.

Coffee...

2004-04-28T15:41:51Z

... with chocolate milk in it is mighty tasty.

Things I hate, Volume I.

2004-04-22T18:21:41Z

Stickers on fruit. Today I buy a plum at the fruit stand. I get back to the office and go to wash off the plum before eating it. I see a sticker. Sigh. I begin to take off the sticker. Surprise! It's one of those perforated stickers that will not come off in one piece. Why in hell would someone put that kind of sticker on FRUIT?!?!?! Finally, I get the sticker off. Then I turn the plum over. ANOTHER STICKER! ARGH! Why am I being tortured for my love of plums!?!?!

Here's someone who deserves some support.

A conscientious objector to the war in Iraq.

Try, try again...

2004-04-22T14:58:02Z

So, I'm blogging again, trying to figure out a good direction for my writing. I'll post things I find interesting and various rambles. If I decide to.
