No root for them.

Meanwhile, I'm listening to the "Habeas Schmabeas" episode of This American Life on my iPod and feeling like my entire brain is going to explode with the insanity of what the Cheney Administration has done at Guantanamo. I can't even begin to express how awful it all is.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I heard part of that on my way home from work Saturday. The interview with the two detainees was horrible.
How the one guy was telling people, "No, no, being transferred to American custody is good!" was heartbreaking. Though I did laugh when they kept asking the other guy if he wanted to go home, and he said "No I love it here! I love you guys!"

When I first heard that ep, I ended up sitting in my car at the 7-11 swearing. My cashier guy (seriously, he sees me coming and fetches my order and always throws in a lighter gratis) came out to ask if I was ok, because I was yelling at the radio. I told him it was about Guantanamo and he said "Oh, that's a good reason to be mad."
The neighbor girl who comes by to visit? Is gonna be moving this summer. Her dad is buying a townhouse in the county. I'm happy for them (it's been a big goal of his) but will be sad to see her leave.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Well, I got the letter from UofI--I didn't get in. I'm making myself try and feel better by telling myself it is one of the top two MLIS programs in the country, and the online version has a very limited number of positions open, but it isn't really working right now.
This will help financially this year (between the diet and the wedding, this summer and fall would have been very tight if I had to fit in school as well), and I can wait a bit to get a new computer. I'm just going to work on getting me and my finances in better shape, and then I think I'll try and apply for the on-campus program next year (which I've been accepted to twice in the past). I'll try and get an assistantship (it'll help those interviews if I'm skinnier), and if that doesn't work, well, I can always go for the student loan.
Sigh.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm sorry to hear that, Kathy, but your plan sounds excellent.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm sorry for the disappointing news, Kathy. I was just telling my sister about your dieting success yesterday when we were celebrating her birthday. She has lost 50+ pounds and has finally broken the 300 mark, which was a wonderful thing. It is such hard work to stay on track.
It sounds like you will find a way to make school happen too. Student Loans - ah, join the club.

I am so sorry, Kathy. I do want to tell you that your other successes are very inspiring to me, and I am confidant that you will find a way to the MLS-- maybe not the one you hoped for, but one.
