to begin with, a hodge-podge
I visited alt.support.social-phobia a short while back by way of google. After looking over a few recent posts, I decided to post a reply to one. Using google to post to newsgroups requires waiting for a few hours before it gets displayed in google. I assume that's how long it takes for google's archiving to catch up, but who knows. Tomorrow, I will check and see if my post gets more than the usual response, which is to say zilch.
I can expound on my social phobia if anyone who reads this is interested. You could also search in a.s.s-p for catimp or yitwail to read all my posts.
Since I mentioned travel in my intro, I'll drop some place names: Jamaica, Australia, England, California, New York, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Japan. These are some of the places I've visited or lived in the last few years. Early next year, I will be visiting Pohnpei in Micronesia. The next person I meet who knows this Pohnpei instead of the one buried by a volcano in Italy will be the first person I've met who knew about it. :)
I keep up with events, mostly through Yahoo! News. I also take a look once in a while at Workingforchange.com, for a mostly left-wing take on the news. One thing that bothers me about the leftwingers at Workingforchange.com--many of whom seem to be affiliated with an organization called creator's syndicate, sounds fundamentalist, but probably anything but--is that they're as arrogant as I imagine rightwing commentators to be. Take Molly Ivins, for one: she rips the administration, but won't bother answering me when I send email critiquing one of her columns. Now that I have a blog, perhaps she won't dare brush me off again. :)
Any one else disheartened by our choices for president? There's no stronger evidence of the weakness of the Democratic ticket than the fact that there's a close race. With all the mismanagement of the war in Iraq, the dems should be a shoo-in. I have nothing against Kerry, but I really can't tolerate John Edwards or Elizabeth Edwards. Those two are so insensitive, it's amazing they're not part of some reality show like the Apprentice or American Idol.
That's all for now, but plenty more to come, so come back soon.
