I am losing my mind

This whole Karl Rove Treason Plame Wilson Novak Cooper Yellowcake Miller nightmare is driving me up the walls. I keep reading both sides and their respective talking points, and I need to stop. I'll lose my mind. I would love to see Rove in prison, though. No doubt about that.

So, you all most likely read of our fitness adventure over on Brandyn's blog. It's pretty fantastic. And the mustache is in order, although I think I'll wait until it is majestic enough to really stun my personal trainer. Hehehehe. The weather has been hot, but still climbing, and I have been eager to surf, but all things in time. Hopefully I can work consistently for Scott, and buy a surfboard in a month or so. These first couple paychecks need to go to the trip to Chicago, and settling various accounts there (although somewhere in there was some copier-mondo money, but I'm sure it's all a wash) and paying off a really sweet credit card bill, but after that it's all surfboard and savings. I can't wait to be a high school sub. I am going to be fantastic. I also have an appointment to interview at the Civic Arts Plaza. So it looks like my semi-permanent employment sitution is Substitute Teacher/ME for the Theatre on the Hill/Electrician for Civic Arts Plaza. Yeehah.

I think I am going to take a statistics class in the fall, but I'm not entirely sure.

Well, I am off to get a table for our fishtank which is going to be amazing. We found an entire fishtank in the garage, complete with stuff, so we upgraded the filter and are filtering the water for a week or two before we add any fish. Any suggestions? We can either have 1, maybe 2 goldfish, or a handful of little tropical fish. We also want a lot of aquatic plants. I found some miniature freshwater sharks that were pretty cool as well. If we get a goldfish we are going to get a Black Moor goldfish.

Off to the day. Hope all is well.

link o' the day

You should check this website every time you use the internet. It is the future of progressive politics in America.

I have so many things to blather about but first I must clean the house and work for a few hours and hook up the fast internet that just came in the post (which is indeed ironic) and then I will tell you all of the advancements B and I have made. We are fantastic humans.

I miss you all so much.

wowsers and wall-poppin

Setting up a gallery would be fantastic except for the artists. It's remarkably like a bleached and bathed Mondo, except replace the ratty hipster artists with senior citizens making mediocre sculpture and fiber art. Some of it is ok; I couldn't be happier that these people are making art in their spare time. I think everyone should be making art in their spare time. But wow, do these folks take themselves seriously, and they treat me like an ignoramus for not holding their hand while they decide if this piece needs to move to the left a few inches.

So it's an art show morning (they are already an hour over their scheduled time, and no hint of wrapping up anytime soon) and another string concert evening, with an afternoon of cleaning a nuclear testing zone of a tech booth. At least I am at work, and at least I can command a little respect. There is a nest of baby woodpeckers outside, and the air is dry and from the western sea, which incidentally must be warming by the day. The period away from the ocean has been the longest yet, and hopefully that will be soon fixed. Brandyn and I intended to go yesterday, but got caught up in a splendid walk and some documentary film watching. We also saw a fantastic panel on CSPAN with Bill Clinton and Ted Turner discussing energy policy and climate change. I love Bill Clinton.

Read Wolcott if you haven't been. He's on fire this week.
