7yrs, An Unchanging Year, Don't Limit Freedoms, And More (Or Less)! : The 39 Week 7 Round Up/Update [T39W07RU/U]
My eldest daughter turns 7 today... good gods it doesn't seem that long, yet she's (obviously!) older. demn, demn, indeed.
otherwise not too much has changed - which is both a good thing and a bad thing.
bad thing because it seems like things are too... stagnant... at times and I'm well aware that I don't get out much, and this is even compared to when I used to seldom go out and got shiite for it!
good thing because (crossing fingers while knocking on wood to avoid causation principles) this is the longest I've gone without someone I know/knew dying. trust me, it's a shocker - but a GOOD shocker!
half of the Dee Snider's House Of Hair runner-up prize(s) has arrived - the signed "Dee Does Broadway" CD ...I'm looking forward to burning it into Romero and listening
( what, my CD player died and Romero has become my "stereo" - even though I've been using him as a stereo anyways nigh since I got him )
and, yes, I'm still looking forward to his book as well - all I've heard are good things!
on a very cool note, the September issue of Playboy has two great things : an interview with Richard Dawkins (which I think I may've typed as "Hawkins" on twitter/LJ - oops!) and an editorial by Hef on gay rights and sexual criminalization.
yes, I read the articles *smirks*
I also put up my "Vote No! Don't Limited The Freedom To Marry" sign on my deck window, which a co-worker was nice enough to pick up for me, on Tuesday - I may not have a car or a lawn, but I can still do my part, as minor as it be.

for some reason I was also inundated this week with religio-political craziness, messages left when I didn't pick up the phone (or wasn't home) or random people, all on a "there is but one g-d" rampage...
so I posted the following two twitter/FB posts in a blanket response :
there is but one god and it's name is: Aten, Marduk, Ahura Mazda, Shamas(h), Sin, Brahman, Ish, YHVH, El, Yahweh, Jehovah, Allh, All-father
there is but one god and it's name is (continued): Great Spirit, Gitche Manitou, Dyeus, Vhigur, Shangdi, Hu, akamba, Shiva Baba - and more
...I received good responses that ranged from the FSM (pastafarian) to "Cernunos, Herne, Zeus, Jupiter, Odin, Osiris, Izanagi, Yang..." - I love my friends
(and would love some even more if they'd ever show up at my doorstop in merely a trenchcoat, but that's another story entirely)
I have yet to head out to the nearest Legion and pick up/ask about info regarding the SAL, but at least I know it's an option now - maybe next weekend, if the weather's decent? it'd be just over an hour's walk to the closest one.
ANYways... now that we seem to be getting August weather (again, we had an entire July of it), I've got the A/C on once again.
so, enjoy what remains of the summer and I'll catch ya again next week!
