I sincerely hope justice happens in this case - what a sad case of our system failing someone.

Re: Twilight Saga: It Won’t Ruin Girls’ Lives, But I Sure Take Issue With It

I just finished Breaking Dawn last night. There was one passage especially that bothered me re: needing to be married before sex, where Bella was having one of her anxious thought rambles, and she thinks, o, how do people do this without the fabulous commitment that I clearly have from Edward? it just seemed so heavy handed!

Re: Talk to Me (Us All) About Palin: Open Thread

Carrie — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 11:28:42 -0000

let me preface this by saying that I do. not. support. Sarah. Palin. ahem.

but. I think some conservative voters like her stance on abortion. They like that she's a born-again Christian, and will bring those kinds of "values" to the White House. Some look at her record in Alaska and call her a reformer, so they think that she will bring change (and she's not "establishment" since she hasn't been on the national political scene.) She's "just like you and me" - folksy, down-home, gun-toting. etc.

If you lurk in the McCain/Palin support groups on Ravelry, you will hear more. But be warned - the political groups on Rav are all very, very heated right now.

I actually had this conversation with my in-laws this weekend.

I should add: I don't think they believed me.

ooh! so many good links. I'm loving the Genius playlist too - it's just a nice way to shake up the order I play my music in - otherwise I would just play the same CDs in the same order over and over and over.

That Joss post was awesome. I can't wait for Dollhouse either!

ooh, the book sounds disturbing - I don't think I could read it. also. I cannot wait to hear the Joss interview! I use Audacity for sound stuff at work pretty often - it's so easy to work with.

I don't know if you've seen the Blog of "Unnecessary" Quotation Marks (http://quotation-marks.blogspot.com/), but it's a treasure trove of ridiculous quotation mark use. my big pet peeve? misused apostrophes.

I bet you were the awesomest camp counselor EVAR. and I might need to check out the Teach Yourself Visually book - I've been really wanting to learn crochet for real.

Re: Beginnings, Ends—Pshaw! It’s All A Big Spiral (AKA: Big Announcements)

Dang, woman! Congrats on both fronts. It sounds like you've thought about this stuff A LOT and I bet it feels great to announce it to the world! I'm sure whatever you do next will be as inspiring and creative as what you've done thus far. :)

Such a great post, Kim. I love how open you are on your blog about your thought processes and ideas - you are so inspiring, dude.

I lovelovelove the Doc on Deadwood - such an awesome character. and WoW is so interesting to me - I have friends who play, but I'm a little scared that I'd become obsessed if I started, so I've stayed away so far! It sounds like you're in a really open place right now where you can explore and do lots of different things - it sounds so nice, if a little scary. ;)
