So-- this may be my last blog until the 13th or 14th.  My phone gets shut off tomorrow, but I don't know what time.  Today will be spent looking up phone numbers, addresses, and directions to places that I will need to go until I get my internet back again. 

Today is mine and Erich's two month anniversary :-D  That just seems crazy to even say.  Everything has been going so fast and been so extreme that I don't think I've fully processed any of this.  I was ambushed this morning in the middle of a bad dream for a fantastic reason.  He woke me up, said, "happy anniversary!" and handed me an envelope.  When I opened the card, a ticked to Rob Zombie fell out!!!!!  I think that's all I really have to say, lol.  That and, "I was ambushed," so now it looks like what I was going to do it going to be contrived. 
Erich: Don't think anything that I do is going to be contrived -- I love you!

NASA sucks, and is predictably done for- now they're saying that there may, in fact, be a problem with getting the astronauts at the space station back to earth.  If I were them, I'd refuse to get back in that shuttle.

Texas schools are to accept religion as a part of the cirriculum - How many jackhammers would it take to sever Texas from the continental united states?  We could turn it into a penal colony and scrap Guantanamo Bay ... Texans would probably love it, and everybody wins!

The Debate that wasn't - For anyone who cares that they haven't heard any discourse on CAFTA, or NAFTA/WTO for that matter ... probably since the massive protests several years ago.

Erich: News you can use! :-p

10th planet discovered - Personally the timing of this is suspicious.  I think NASA knew about this so-called "Xena" and was holding out until they flubbed up another shuttle mission.

8/8/05 They All Scream for Ice Cream in D.C.Finally, a solution to how President Bush can cool off Washington's overheated political climate. Hold an ice-cream social. "Maybe that's the secret to icing down the tension," jokes a Bush aide. Don't laugh. "Ice cream is a nonpartisan treat," cheers CNN star Wolf Blitzer , who gorges on chocolate chip from Gifford's Ice Cream in nearby Bethesda, Md. "It's equally delicious and fattening," he adds, "for Dems and Reps."Seems everybody can agree on ice cream. "That's my big weakness," admits Pennsylvania Republican Sen. Rick Santorum , a fan of chocolate malt with caramel from Handel's Homemade Ice Cream and Yogurt near Pittsburgh. His polar opposite, New York's Hillary Rodham Clinton , likes anything from Mercer's of Booneville, N.Y. Speaker Dennis Hastert is an orange-sherbert kind of guy. In Arkansas, it's Yarnell's of Searcy where dieting Gov. Mike Huckabee licks sugar-free vanilla. Former Sen. John Edwards and his wife, Elizabeth, go for Dairy Queen's Oreo Blizzard. Education Secretary Margaret Spellings longs for her Austin, Texas, faves: vanilla custard from Sandy's or dark chocolate from Amy's Ice Creams. Dan Glickman , president of the Motion Picture Association of America, walks to Georgetown's Thomas Sweet for chocolate chip. And Labor Secretary Elaine Chao likes hers candied. "My favorite ice cream," she tells us, "is mint chocolate Dippin' Dots from Paducah, Ky." Yum-yum.  -wow that was stupid

Japan sanctions the United States - I am going to miss my Japanese/Chinese news for the next two weeks ... keep up on it, this is important stuff!

Leo (July 22-Aug. 22) On Monday, you'll be raring to go, ready to pull out all the stops to get You Know Who you know where. When, on Tuesday, You Know Who starts acting persnickety, be sure to make it abundantly clear to them what exactly it is that you do or don't want from the relationship. Yes, honesty can be a bitch, but it will serve you well in preparation for Friday's New Moon, which will inspire you to make romantic changes that will work in your sexual favor.

Libra (Sept. 22-Oct. 22) Imagine you're playing an adult game of telephone. For example, you begin the game by whispering to somebody that you still secretly jerk off to Jon Bon Jovi, and by the time the "message" reaches the end of the line, it comes out that you want to jerk off John Roberts while he's being questioned by the Senate. Huh. This week will be characterized by these kinds of misunderstandings, especially on Monday, Tuesday and Friday. Don't fixate on the fact that you've been misunderstood, and you'll find that misunderstandings can yield things far superior to your original ideas.

Until later, all, don't forget to smile!  LOVE!

(ps I know I can't spell ... and you can't spellcheck rich-text because it registers the code and goes haywire ... love!)
