LEGO Death Star Dream House

It's actually a very tiny Death Star... or maybe a Personal Death Star.

It IS tiny. And cute. And projected to be expensive.

the mom was actually very nice and apologetic, though she said, "I don't know if you're still at school..." Two weeks after school is over, you're wondering if I'm still at school? Seriously? I thought the kids were the only ones who thought teachers live in the school building.

Well they shove us in the cabinetry while the school is closed and wheel us back out after.

Did you know that my company has a video podcast show about women in the tech industry? I didn't. Guess who's being interviewed for it in late July?

My work-life is very odd.

Well they shove us in the cabinetry while the school is closed and wheel us back out after.

At my Catholic high school, we noticed how the nun/teachers progressed: starting out as teachers, moving into administration, then a few ancient nuns would staff the library before they'd just disappear forever. The joke was that there was some big heavy leather-bound tome in a hidden corner of the library with the husks of old nuns folded inside, like flowers from days gone by.

Well they shove us in the cabinetry while the school is closed and wheel us back out after.

Oo, Jilli, how cool!

The property manager returned my call (shocking!) and told me that James (contractor) found the leak and did the repair/replace and is charging the unit back up now.

I'd like to be happy, but at this point, I really can't. And I really don't believe it, either.

This has taken far too much effort and rage on my part.

I am HOPEFUL that it will all work out as it should, sara. A/C is good. Even when it flips the circuit like it did for us last night.

I left at lunch and went to the post office, then whole foods (got bug spray!) and then stopped and had lunch. I have one more 80 minute class, then fini.

I'm at the point where I'm going to have to start looking for a job. Why can't the Good Job Fairy just flutter into my backyard and offer me one? Is that too much to ask?

YAY fini!

Hopefully YAY A/C for sara, but yes, this is too much effort. You know thwe rest of my thought. We will start on that soon enough.

I got a semi-plan for the summer done. mac is increasingly concerned about how his days will be filled when he goes away for 2 weeks in August so we are making a chart of activity options.

So, will folks in the Bush administration be held accountable for war crimes? Maybe not in the US, but maybe in other countries:

Travel Advisory

Is it likely that prosecutions will be brought overseas? Yes. It is reasonably likely. Sands's book contains an interview with an investigating magistrate in a European nation, which he describes as a NATO nation with a solidly pro-American orientation which supported U.S. engagement in Iraq with its own soldiers. The magistrate makes clear that he is already assembling a case, and is focused on American policymakers. I read these remarks and they seemed very familiar to me. In the past two years, I have spoken with two investigating magistrates in two different European nations, both pro-Iraq war NATO allies. Both were assembling war crimes charges against a small group of Bush administration officials. "You can rest assured that no charges will be brought before January 20, 2009," one told me. And after that? "It depends. We don't expect extradition. But if one of the targets lands on our territory or on the territory of one of our cooperating jurisdictions, then we'll be prepared to act."

Viewed in this light, the Bush Administration figures involved in the formation of torture policy face no immediate threat of prosecution for war crimes. But Colin Powell's chief of staff, Colonel Larry Wilkerson, nails it: "Haynes, Feith, Yoo, Bybee, Gonzales and--at the apex--Addington, should never travel outside the U.S., except perhaps to Saudi Arabia and Israel. They broke the law; they violated their professional ethical code. In the future, some government may build the case necessary to prosecute them in a foreign court, or in an international court." Augusto Pinochet made a trip to London, and his life was never the same afterwards.

The Bush administration officials who pushed torture will need to be careful about their travel plans.
