and im feeling good

ive been super productive, getting my work done, im actually reading something that isnt required (Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver) and a couple weeks ago I read Khaled Housseni's second book, which of course proved to be fantastic, A Thousand Splendid Suns...and what not... and then tonight i went for a swim and a steam. and i realized i need to start doing this more often. i love it. it feels so good.i am so relaxed when i step out of the water and into the steam room... and yes.


ps. does anyone actually read this?

misty morning

I woke up this morning with the relentless notion of the day... i dont always wake up this way, but, its getting to the end of the semester and i am beginning to feel it. its overwhelming. so, to my surprise, after i had a mediocre shower, i got dressed and walked the buggas. this is where my day changed. it was raining, lightly. it was foggy. the mist... I LOVE THIS. the dreamy state... it makes me quite nostalgic for travels ive been on. walking through NYC to meet the train, waking up far too early to raft in Ottawa... i feel at home when i travel. but the mist and early mornings also bring me back to you. and as beautiful as the mist is, the morning and the halo glow around the light...

hello kitty.

Now I'm an animal lover as much as the next uh,,,animal lover, but this is just ridiculous ridiculousness- A glam cat, hybrid that costs upwards of $22K!! "Brodie used a "secret recipe" to mix an African serval and Asian leopard cat with a domestic cat, to create the world's most expensive feline hybrid.The Ashera, an exclusive product of Brodie's firm, Lifestyle Pets, resembles a little leopard and can weigh up to 30 pounds. But it's more suited for lounging than stalking prey."
now cmon. you can go to the SPCA and get one for like $25 and they are just as cute and lovable. I can't imagine being in the position of spending that much money on a cat-- A CAT! I'm flabbergasted.

FBI audits

An audit by the inspector general last year found the FBI demanded personal records without official authorization or otherwise collected more data than allowed in dozens of cases between 2003 and 2005. Additionally, last year's audit found that the FBI had underreported to Congress how many national security letters were requested by more than 4,600.-- http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080306/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/senate_fbi


Under this administration there have been serious laws broken and leniency given to individuals that (of course) did not deserve it. Anyone up for a coup?
