 Workin'
It
This week I worked on my own things. I'm putting together
a new eCommerce Site. When I finish, I hope it generates some
income and at least subsidizes my Web activities. I know how
much people love reading these logs, but web- hosting still
costs money. I also worked on some music with my pal Marc
and sorted out the new design for this site.
You could help out your tall jobless friend by purchasing
a few items from my
store...
 School
This week we had our first quiz. The instructor just loves
what I call "zingers". He gave us a practice quiz
last week and then on the real quiz, it was all based on three
basic principles that were barely mentioned on the practice
quiz. The zinger questions dealt with the principle not covered
in the practice quiz and barely mentioned in class two weeks
ago.
I guess the good thing about going to such a crap school
is that even when the course work could be challenging, the
instructors suck so bad that everyone does well if they just
show up.
This course is barely worth the $11 per unit they charge
now. I find it hard to fathom how they can raise it to $24
a unit in the Fall Semester and $33 per unit in the next Spring
Semester. At treble the price, I might as well sue them for
immoral business practices. Surely there's a law that says
you can't keep charging more for less... oh wait, seems everyone's
doing it especially the government and they make the laws
so I guess there's not much we can do about it. (Bollocks)
NYE Again?
It seems that all pagan holidays stretch out for a week or
more when they're tied to the cycles of the moon. Chinese
New Year starts on a new moon and ends on the full one. Anglos
like me only seem to particpate in the opening and closing
bits...
 Bears
Are Back in Town
This weekend was the International Bear Rendezvous. It's
kinda like a convention for hairy, over-weight men and the
men who love them...
Marc makes an appearance
With so much going on this weekend, my pal Marc couldn't
pass up the chance to visit. He's got a plush new set of wheels
and piled a couple of pals into the car and drove up for a
weekend of debauchery...
No Mascara -or- No Mas Guerra
Sunday saw the largest anti-war / peace march yet. See there's
hope for America after all...
 Drums
of War
This week, the Bush team acted like business as usual and
continued to 'sell' their war.
The media were falling all over themselves to declare that
for the first time since Bush's war march began last August,
more than half of the American people surveyed support military
action in Iraq.
What they never reveal is, who conducted the opinion poll,
who participated in it, and what kinds of questions were asked.
I support military action in Iraq under certain conditions,
but as far as I'm concerned we're no where near anything that
would ever condone military action against another sovereign
nation. I'm begining to think their opinion polls are just
conducted in the lunchroom or the newsroom. They ask for a
show of hands and then claim it represents real people (and
not media people who thrive on conflict of every kind)
