What to write, what to write....

Okay, let's start with this: Somehow, I moved into a house that is only a few feet on each side from its neighbors, and yet does not have any sort of broadband internet access. I've lived there since October, and still don't have any internet. (I Hate Verizon, but that's a whole other story). So now I have to get local telephone service and (ack) dial-up, which is going to cost me more than I would have paid for DSL or Cable. Fortunately, I occasionally get access at work, at least for the time being, and I can always surf at school.

So that's part of the whole no writing thing. I don't want to bore you with the details, but the past few months have been re-focusing on what I need to focus on and trying to get rid of all the extraneous b.s. For a while, that's included web-stuff. Now I'm bored, so it's back to the blogs.

Also, I've actually logged in here a few times, but it's so...empty. Scary empty. Intimidating empty: work to do. I need to clutter the place up some. I'm sure it'll look like a total trainwreck in no time.

See? Here I am, and I have nothing to say. Politics sucks. The port deal: UAE is not UK, no matter who says it is. Sorry, guys, I hear you've been behaving lately. Talk to me in two hundred years after fighting together in a few world wars and maybe I'll reconsider.

How about a book reccommendation: somehow, I find myself reading a book put out by "The Feminist Press" of New York City College. Somehow, I have a hard time seeing alot of commonality between my reading tastes and the folks at the Feminist Press. I picture lots of books about lesbians and the patriarchy, which isn't really my bag. But they have a whole division "Women Write Pulp", which is all classic pulp fiction written by (wait for it) women. I don't know how much feminist mileage they get out of a book titled "The G-String Murders" written by the Jenna Jameson of her day, but it's great reading regardless.
