going around with the nurse the other day for "pill call" (distribution of medicine in the Housing Unit) I heard muffled thumps coming from a cell next door. the cell was completely dark & when I shone in my flashlight a bloody face was pressed up against the window, then slammed up against it a couple of times.

a cell fight.

generally, when two men...

I LOVE that, & wish I'd written it, but it was in a NYTimes article yesterday about edge.org, & is by "software designer and entreprenuer" Kai Krause.

the article is about a feature in which Prominent Minds are asked the question: What's your law? (I can't seem to access the site itself)

so: What's your law?

once again what looked like a car problem that looked like it would be weeks & thousands of dollars before resolution & closure would be arrived at was fixed relatively inexpensively & quickly.

which is a very good thing.

(I really need to learn more about cars--specifically, my car--so instead of freaking out when it does something like catching on fire or stopping cold I...

got paid the other night & saw on my paystub that over 800 dollars was sliced away for taxes & what-not.

I honestly don't mind paying taxes--it's what keeps society going & what-have-you--but it sort of pisses me off that when I sit down to go thru a newspaper I'm innundated with stories about increased expenditures for Homeland Security & new toys for the Pentagon...

dang.

sexy ladyfriend in the midwest is going to Costa Rica over New Years & I'm stuck here buried under a mountain of greying snow, without even the option of a jaunt to Las Vegas or SLC until I can retrieve wounded automobile from it's undisclosed location.

as it stands, I'll be ringing in 2004 at the Prison, where the festivities are understandably low-key.

christmas eve was bad, what with having to abandon my wounded car out in the middle of nowhere & sundry other inconveniences.

christmas day was even worse.

I went out with my sister to retrieve my belongings from the car at about 12 noon or so. it'd been snowing hard for a couple of hours, but it didn't seem like anything we couldn't handle.

wrong....

merry x-mas, y'all!

I hope it's great for you! & for me! because x-mas eve sucked, as they say, ass.

for starters: my car is stranded out in the middle of the desert containing maybe a thousand dollars worth of stuff (x-mas presents & sundry) & very very expensive injuries. also my stepfather is in jail.

on the other hand, I DID get to see...

shameful admission:

I've tried, lord knows I've tried, but I just CAN'T get into the whole Lord of the Rings thing.

I've read the first half of "Fellowship" maybe a dozen times, & have purchased the trilogy in paperback maybe 3 times. I wanted to like them, I did--just about everybody I know speaks of them with religious awe.

I saw the first 2 movies...

still sick, but I seem to be at the tail-end of it. (however, ladyfriend who's staying with me started sneezing tonight, so maybe we'll just pass it back & forth for a while)

took 2 nights off work & have spent most of the last two days wrapped up in a quilt, swilling herbal tea (& the occasional beer, which isn't too good for the...

Bah, you know they're just out to steal your money anyway.

Whenever I start to feel the sick coming on, I kill it with echinacea and vitamin C... works like a charm. It's most effective when you start right when symptoms appear, but I don't doubt they'd help even if you're already sick. Get you to a health food store!

fucked-up situation on the homefront:

about a week & a half ago as I was getting ready for work I got a call from the Sherriff's office asking me to come pick someone up.

I didn't have to be told who it was.

J. was my mom's boyfriend for the last ten years of her life, & they've lived together for much of that time....
