I spent a lot of time landscaping & planting over several weekends. Comcast is upgrading our cable system, and today they completely dug up the entire area surrounding my condo, destroying everything I did.
General
It's a Bush thing
I never liked Britney Spears. I think her voice sounds really horrible (I also dislike Madonna’s voice and any other singers that require a lot of studio effects to sound decent). She also seems like a dumb, uneducated redneck. I also find everything about her a complete turn-off.
However, it wasn’t until after she made a statement supporting Bush that I really started hating her. For the same reason, I became a fan of the Dixie Chicks after they spoke out against Bush.

Cable modem is available!
Today I saw several Comcast trucks in my condo complex. When I asked, they said the equipment was being upgraded and we can now get cable modem here.
I’ll probably switch, since BellSouth DSL can be painfully slow at times and I have very frequent disconnects.
AIM Spam
I had to set my iChat privacy to block anyone not on my buddy list since I’m starting to get too much spam.
Daniel Carter isolated in cell with adult neighbors
Daniel Carter is currently being housed in a questionable area of Escambia County Jail with Adults in Cells all around him.
Florida law states that juvenile inmates must be out of sight and sound of adult inmates while housed in adult facilities. [Justice for Juveniles]
Driving
I find that driving affects my mood more than almost anything else. I decided to go to my favorite lunch place in Wilton Manors.
As I approached Oakland Park Blvd, the traffic was at a standstill. My inner New Yorker took over and I started blowing my horn. The jerk in front of me in a white Dodge purposely slowed down the rest of the way and we got into a shouting mach as we approached NE 25th St. She purposely stopped and then took off as soon as the light changed, leaving me stuck at a red light. I was steaming mad and remained in a foul mood all through lunch.
Coming home, it was the opposite. All of the traffic in front of me turned off at Prospect Rd so I had a clear ride to Commercial, and I made the most of it, zipping through at over 60. After that, I was in a great mood & all of my anger was gone.
Ten years ago today
On October 31, 1993, one of the most promising young stars of his generation died. River Phonix died of a massive drug overdose outside the Viper Room in West Hollywood. River starred in movies such as Stand By Me and was nominated for an Oscar for his role in Running On Empty. He was just entering his prime and had unlimited potential, but he threw it all away.
New multimedia device
This looks very interesting. Unfortunately it won’t be compatible with the Mac initially.
Sony Ericsson T616
I just replaced my T68i with a T616. The sound quality is a lot better and it doesn’t drop the call suddenly with weak signal. I still get only 2 bars or so, but it seems to do much better with a weak signal.
Here’s a picture I took with the built-in camera:
