rm- Last night Dennis Kucinich introduced 35 articles of impeachment against Bush and no one noticed. Despair.
- Can the New York Times please stop writing articles that marvel that women like technology, sex or sports? I'm getting really sick of it. Today's latest? Oh my god, we like smart phones!!!! Civilization is about to fall, I'm telling you.
- Testing at work today. Can I just say, not my idea of a good time?
- I know we all slag, and rightfully so, on Wikipedia, but it's a real godsend when you need a cursory bit of information for a bit of fiction. Unfortunately, because of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sam_storyteller my brain keeps calling it the "Whenkipedia."
- The heat is supposed to start breaking today. Which is good, as I actually hit a dizzy spell from it late last night. I am surprised it took that long.
- Still no letters from Patty. Sigh. This is definitely harder and more complicated communication-wise than Cyprus. On the other hand, we know where we stand, so it's not anxiety producing. That said, I really hope I get something from her soon (I know she's mailed at least three). Also, I have to send her Nutella this week. It makes everything better. Even sand storms.
- Parents tonight.

Oh, Em, Gee, I saw the first paragraph of that article. Started reading, immediately thought, "God, what stupid rag is this that feels that this is news?" Looked up at the masthead, expecting the Washington Times or some such second-rate thing (I'd have thought USA Today, except that their overall layout is so instantly recognizable)... and got a bit of a shock.
Not much of one, mind you. The Times has sunk a pretty long way since the days of my youth. (And the news dailies wonder why so many folks are ditching them and getting our news from the Internet...)
