Books Have Turned Her Brain

Hunter: Deport U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants

So many things wrong with that idea, i don’t even know where to begin. Someone not paying attention in class, someone letting their idealogy blind them to reality, and general ignorance to start off with.

Expert: Invalid Warrant Used in Raid on iPhone Reporter’s Home | Threat Level | Wired.com

I am shocked, and frankly appalled that anyone would have their home searched and things confiscated over a story reported in the news.

There is a ‘gentleman’ in Sweetwater who believes that President Obama is not a citizen of the US and as such is unfit to be President. He believes this so much that he has attempted to have the grand jury hear his case twice now, both times denied as not having any grounds.

I saw earlier today that apparently he attempted to arrest the grand jury foreman for preventing him him from presenting his case to the grand jury and instead was arrested.

Rather appropriate result, I say, as he has absolutely no grounds for his claims.

Revising history to to suit some strange ideal is really, really idiotic. Cutting out important Supreme Court decisions and Presidents just because they do not follow your ideal? Let alone the important things women and people of color have done in America?

Truly a way to get our children ahead in this world.

Also, I have noticed that this post marks my 200th post since I began the blog so many years ago. A small sum compared to the years, but I plead being seduced by Livejournal and its clones.

I have been writing again, and have been posting the resultant fic to my creative journal and at FF.net and Archive of Our Own.

In addition, I am going to try to get off my lazy, distracted aft and post more recs and other things. I have ideas for eassays, I am trying to iron out, and have been catching up on my rather large list of fics to read.

And there shall be no more. David Eddings passed last night and he will be missed. I was a fan of all of his books, and he was one of the writers that inspired me to actually think about writing as a career.

I’ve taken down my gallery and changed over to a photoblog. That can be found at Galleria at Ravynstone Abbey. Also embedded my Tumblelog. The page is Abbey Links.

Uploaded a new theme: Notepad Chaos. I really like the design elements and how it all works together. Had to do some fiddling for navigation issues, but I figured it out~

Have fully recovered from the plague, although I still have a slight cough. That should go away soon. End of school is coming up quite rapidly here. Little Miss will be going to third grade in the fall in a new to her school. That will be an adjustment.

Looking into moving out of state for jobs. I think there is a 15% unemployment rate here in my county, so yeah. I can’t transfer till September, so perhaps I can shoot for after Christmas to move at the earliest, preferably next summer. I hate changing schools in the middle of the year.

Took some pretty pictures of the lavender/blue bearded iris outside, and uploading said pictures plus what ever was lurking on my memory stick while I wait on dishes to air dry so I can do another sinkful plus choke Bloglines with a huge OPML file.

Started back to taking pictures. I need to remember to take my camera with me more often. Also have been working on some fic ideas and even poking at the mythology for a world I’m building for a novel or two.

I have three female cats. the oldest two are sister and will be a year old in late May-June. The tortiseshell is in season. Let us just say there was some interesting noises outside my bedroom door yesterday and today.

In other words lesbian cats.
