Writing Successes: Amazon work. Story, help page, that kind of thing. I actually did some of this yesterday, too, and totally forgot. So wipe that "not a thing" off there. Thanks.

Music Playing: KMHD, the Jazz Station. This is a local college-run station that's non-profit. It doesn't have commercials (except during plege week), but it does have announcers. It also plays JAZZ jazz, not modern-jazz. (Like Kenny G. They don't play Kenny here.) Sometimes they play old jazz, which is my favorite. (Satchmo and Mel Torme' and Benny Goodman.)

Well, I didn't get 103 hits from Joe Millionare. I got six hits overall. Thank you, all my fans! This Hit's for you! Of course, one guy was looking for a herbal high of some kind, and how it came up in my blog I have no idea.

I'll get some hits for the next item, however. I completed my SEA assignment, to make water move. Unlike my compatriots, I didn't choose to animate a lake or stream or river or ocean. Instead, I chose a bathtub. Naked David Boreanaz in a bathtub, to be exact. Feel free to gawk and stare.

Spent some of today showing Selena around the Pandora's Box website. She wanted a picture of a "Flapper" for a report she's doing on 1920's Chicago. Mind you, she didn't know what a flapper WAS until yesterday when I explained it. But Louise Brooks has enough flapper-ish photos to suit anyone, so I sent her along. She should ask me about a 1920's bathroom sometime. I have the wierdest interests.

I just want to mention that it makes little sense for a bankrupt school system's teachers to strike for more money the state doesn't have. It's kind of insult to injury, IMO. I mean, I understand wanting a raise. I understanding waiting for a raise. I understand paying teachers what they're worth. But all of them know the score, they saw Measure 28 die a horrible death, they know there's no money to have. In a school system already having to cut its days to save cash (Oregon has the shortest school year in the nation atm, thanks to budget issues.), striking teachers serves nobody. Sure ticks me off to watch it.

Then again, most news nowadays just frustrates me. How can Shrub ignore peace protests? How can that NOT bother him? What a goober. How could a sensible people vote down all the tax measures needed to keep kids in school and baddies in jail? How can a story about Michael Jackson be THAT interesting or important? I mean, it's STILL there. GET. YOUR. OWN. LIFE. I try to cook during the news lately. It's all a rehash of a rehash.

Then I heard that the native Americans are willing to fund a new stadium for a major league baseball team....as long as they can also build a casino in the city limits. Hey, I'm all for it. I think having gambling outlawed in this day and age (when you can do it from your home legally over the internet anyhow) is kind of stupid. But it's a strange trade-off, don't you think? Balls for a Buck? Batting A Thousand? Makes for interesting headlines, I suppose.

Well, kalinihta. Cu ena durus Tae'nah arcis. But not the gals on Survivor. They're not a good Tae'nah sampling. I shudder.
