No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I am on a new computer which has IE7, so tabbed browsing FTW.

90% of the time, I don't slack when I actually have work to do. I just hurry up and get the work done so I can slack off again.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I tend to constantly flip between work and reading blogs and b.org.

Alt-Tab is my friend.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I work for 15 minute, slack for 5 all day long. I sometimes suspect I have adult ADHD.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I am Sophia.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

I just want to point out a local news item from the dept of signs and portents, positive division: a Texas state representive from Grand Prairie announced today that he's switching parties from Republican to Democrat because the Republican leadership has grown so far away from his values. It's a little thing, I know, but it seems major that a Texas Republican is switching sides because of his values.

Yeah. The Texas State GOP has one of the furthest right-wing agendas out there. [link]

Tax Cuts, p. 17 - "The Party urges the IRS be abolished," and the following taxes eliminated: "income tax, inheritance tax, gift tax, capital gains, corporate income tax, payroll tax and property tax."

On p.8, Free Exercise of Religion: "Our party pledges to exert its influence to ... dispel the "myth" of the separation of church and state."

p.8, Christian Nation: "The Republican Party of Texas affirms the United States of America is a Christian Nation ..."

p.2 #10: "We oppose conservation easements on our natural resources administered by organizations unaccountable to tax payers and voters." (That means land trusts and conservation groups would be declared unconstitutional.)
