an article from the christian science monitor



for all who know, the csm is a very reputable daily news magazine-it's secular, despite it's name.

this article talks about how people are focusing on living rather making a wage. kind of interesting, considering I've got a meeting at St Thomas this evening for getting the whole wheel spinning for some type of post grad stuff ( law school, I've been thinking so far )-I'm going to a meeting about evening classes. They've got a peace studies program so I've been seeing if that would be interesting at all.

currently listening to Paul McCartney/Wings---frustration for women decreasing, need for warm gooey love increasing.

I need an email with 'XOXOXO' on the bottom. That would be nice.

As bad an idea dating men would be, dating girls is almost as bad. Yesterday I went out with that girl that I met 3 or 4 weeks ago(and commented about on 10/25/02)....didn't have a better time.

While I'm not the most timely person I know, I don't fuck with people's time schedules by like hours. Unlike her. Last night, we had planned to go see '8 Mile' (which was good-kinda like 'Rocky' + 'Purple Rain') and we went to the mall of america. Well, we ended up walking past the T Mobile store and she decides that's a good time to figure out about getting a new phone. Which would be all fine and dandy had I not told her I was planning on eating dinner with my parents....anyway, that took like 45 minutes. By the time we got done with that, we went to the movie theater to buy tickets. Let it be known that we missed the 6 o'clock showing because it was time to check out the phone. Long (part of) the story short, I dropped her off at home and get back to my parents place by 11. Which sucked. I hadn't seen my Dad in 3 weeks since he had gone to Oklahoma for work.

Then again, I'm kind of pissy in general, and if she was more fun to talk to and willing to make out with me at the movie (just kidding-I didn't want to make out with her) I might have liked her more.

I hate Norm Coleman SOOOOOO much.

what a pompus ass.

After yesterday( election ) and the day before ( the mondale/coleman debate ) I'm going to start calling him Senator Norm W. Quimby

Norm, because that's what is mother calls him.

W., because he's now a Bush clone.

Quimby, because I used to call him Mayor Quimby, from the Simpsons.

bask in my liberal glory you flag-on-lapel-better-the-tone-in-washington asshole.

Last night I went to go see the Donnas. Not bad. I could have jumped around a lot. So that was fun.

But it wouldn't have been a full night if I didn't feel like a dufus at least once-I'm sure I was as annoying as hell to the person I went with-Meghan, so that's stupid zone 1. And then, as I left to go back home and continue the idiocy at home, I ran out of gas in downtown Minneapolis. I sucessfully parked the car on it's last shrudder, then I took out my trusty gas can and wandered around, looking for gas. I ended up going to the gas station on Broadway and Central. Exciting.

so it was a full night for me.
