Fluff and yet not: Vin Diesel
So, I’ve known that I find Vin Diesel hot, but his imdb biography revealed a number of other interesting things.
I
1820. “I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesom discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power.” (to Wiliam C. Jarvis, 28 September)

Bits of reading — Economic Practicality
Favorite branch of government
Of late, my favorite branch of government has been the judiciary.
Whether allowing gay marriage, decriminalizing sodomy, smacking down RIAA subpeonas, giving guantanamo bay prisoners some measure of legal protection, or speaking out against god in the pledge of allegiance, they’ve been doing some good work. Go them.
day of final and first day of austin
Triumphant yet Tired
I took the final. It was, of course, all essays. I spent 2 or 3 minutes staring blankly at the stuff after reading it, then I began outlining. I wrote a page or two (full of redundancy) on essay one. Then I found my own personal little font of essay-writing goodness, and streamed out like 10 pages of stuff. It was well written.
Content was good, perhaps a mite basic, but good. Perhaps I expect to much of myself. But I was happy with it. Hope I eventually get some sort of feedback from the instructor about something in this course at some point.
I love geek hosts
… I have broadband
… I have wireless, of course
People who understand my needs. =)
A pleasant breakfast
Unsalted roasted almonds
Green olives stuffed (some with sundried tomato and some with garlic)
Seedless red grapes.
If not for the grapes, I’d say I’m on the vegan atkins diet. =)
new cell foo
I have a new cell phone, which cost less than 40, and a new cellular provider, which gives me great reception in my bedroom (unlike sprint), but what I don’t have is a new number. Aww yeah.
(downsides: two year contract, and no oops-my-cell-was-lost-or-stolen insurance option, which may well bite me in the ass later).
It’ll take a couple days before I start being able to recieve calls, but I can make them just fine. If I had your # before, please to be sending it to me again.
Thank you kindly good people.
Even better news. five minutes after I wrote this the first time, they made my cell phone completely functional. Yay. =)
