    • Dance Off 2006 On something of a whim, thanks to having an evening when I wasn't working and nothing was planned, Prairie and I decided to head down to an event I'd just stumbled across earlier in the day: Dance Off 2006, an annual competition held in the Seattle area for people who want to prove that they have the heart and soul of a dancer, even though they do not have the training of a dancer. ➡

    • Boxes Everywhere! Our living room is filled with boxes. Some full, some partially emptied, some waiting to be broken down and taken out to the recycling...but it's still a _lot_ of boxes. Most of mine are still over at my old apartment, too. The end result is going to be nice, but _man_ is moving a pain in the butt. ➡

    • I had an *rtion More with me finding humor in places I really probably shouldn't. ➡
    • Just keep calm My, what amazingly calm passengers those planes had. ➡
    • Cheney suddenly supports gay marriage Talk about flip-flopping. Dick Cheney, who until now, despite having an openly lesbian daughter, has steadfastly stuck with the party line on gay marriage, suddenly seems to be a little more open-minded about the issue. ➡

    • Another lie Despite the Bush administration's public assertions, these unmanned aerial vehicles weren't designed to dispense biological or chemical weapons. ➡
    • Why I hate George W. Bush When I look at George W. Bush, I don't see a patriot. I see a lying, psychopathic narcissist. And it pains me, it grieves me, it WOUNDS me to realize that this puts me not only in the minority… but in the 'whacko fringe.' ➡
    • SoBig virus source found Security teams have tracked down the original source for the recent SoBig F virus — however, the author is still unknown. ➡
    • Dark Suckers For years, it has been believed that electric bulbs emit light, but recent information has proved otherwise. Electric bulbs don't emit light; they suck dark. Thus, we call these bulbs Dark Suckers. ➡
    • Disney goes Goth (also: 'Bus Life' fan comments) For the fifth year in a row, Disneyland will be creeping with mobs of black-clad death-rocker types for what organizers officially bill as Bats Day in the Fun Park, but what most people just call Goth Day. (Also: Disney's 'Bus Life' fan comments!) ➡
    • Howard Dean rally in Seattle I was already solidly in Dean's camp before this, but being able to see him in person definitely cemented my position — here's hoping that his momentum keeps growing, and we can get him not just the Democratic nomination, but the Presidency in 2004. ➡

    • A few more movies I added three more DVD's to the collection over the weekend. The Black Cauldron, The Cook, the Thief, his Wife, and her Lover, From Dusk 'til Dawn. ➡
