I just packed my first
I just packed my first two boxes and threw out my first bag of junk. Maybe this weekend I’ll attempt to tackle the closet of doom.
My apartment has only one closet, which is where I toss almost everything. I dread having to clean it out, and it will probably be my biggest task in preparing for the move. I was originally planning to move on Mar. 23, but it looks like I’ll probably move either the 9th or the 16th. I have some friends visiting from out of town on the 17th and we’re going out that night, which would make for a pretty hectic weekend if I move on the 16th.Morons in the News: Christians
Morons in the News: Christians Don’t Like Zen Buddhists. “The aura of Satan is taking a foothold. We do not want Buddhism in here.” [Morons Dot Org]
Zen Buddhists are peaceful, don’t interfere with much, and are generally good people. They aren’t dangerous by any means. However, some Chrisians in the town are worried that the Zen Buddhists will eat their kids and turn them into wierd psycho samurai killers or something. In a public meeting, Linda Fischer, a Christian in need of a brain transplant said to the audience, “Do you not see the darkness? The aura of Satan is taking a foothold. We do not want Buddhism in here.”Equating Buddhism with Satanism? Sheeeeeesh!

Current Editorials: Traditional Values Coalition: Everyone Is Persecuting Us!. The well-funded Traditional Values Coalition (TVC) is throwing a fit (complete with Flash animations) over the fact that NPR is reporting facts. [Morons Dot Org]
The Traditional Values Coalition (TVC), a militant pro-theocracy terrorist group, is throwing a tantrum over the fact that National Public Radio (NPR) dared to report that TVC is involved in a campaign to destroy Senators Tom Daschle (D-SD) and Patrick Leahy (D-VT). See, the TVC, being a reactionary militant organization, does not take time to think over anything that is even remotely critical of the organization.

I just set up a pretty eclectic play list in iTunes for my listening pleasure as I work the rest of the afternoon.
iTunes has changed the way I listen to music. I almost never listen to an actual CD. Instead, I can pick & choose any tune I want in any order. If I couldn’t keep them on my drive as MP3 files (which the record companies would like to prevent us from doing), I’d need to keep all of my CDs in a big, bulky jukebox. The play list I’m now listening to includes Afro-Celt Sound System, Baaba Maal, Ali Farka Toure, Johnny Clegg, Enya, Clannad, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, Gorillaz, Goo Goo Dolls, Paul Simon, and Bob Marley among others.Hint: never call OTAllocMemInContext if
