on the vtech shootings, from the economist:
emphasis mine. that's the bit that got my attention. the rest is there for context.
Few urban Americans swallow this twaddle [about the need for a gun], which is why many cities have stiff anti-gun laws. But some rural people do, and plenty more love hunting and think anti-gun Democrats are wusses. To counter this image and court rural votes, the Democratic Party has largely abandoned its gun-control crusade. Its presidential candidates now play up their love of hunting, real or otherwise. In several states, the party has recruited serious gun enthusiasts as candidates. The Democratic governor of Montana boasts that he has more guns than he needs, but not as many as he would like. And the Democrats won control of the Senate last year by fielding a pro-gun war hero to snatch a pro-gun state from a pro-gun Republican incumbent. That state was Virginia.
emphasis mine. that's the bit that got my attention. the rest is there for context.

do you ever feel like words are on the tip of your tongue, you're holding your breath to say it, it's a bubble of air, a consonant on the tip of your tongue that is malformed, ill-advised, amoebic in its potentiality for destruction, but you don't know how to express the vast multitudinous possibilities and jumbles within you?
it's one of the most horrible feelings in the world.
i see the lights are turning and i
look outside the stars are burning through this
changing time it could have been anything we want
it's fine salvation was just a passing thought.

so i've designed one poster, and it's gotten a few compliments, and i'm designing another poster, and one of the faculty says hey, you've got a future as a graphic designer.
now there's an interesting thought. i don't have the skills, but i work at it till it sticks. i don't think i can really say that of anything else that i've ever done.
must ponder.

nancy wilson was AMAZING. i absolutely loved the performance...and it was opened by no other than the lance bryant quartet! so there was lance bryant on sax and voice, mulgrew miller on piano, yoron israel on drums and john lockwood on bass. it's surreal, i guess, when a jazz piece you're learning in class is composed by that guy who's sitting on the stage playing his heart out. but wow. it sounded like i was at a recording studio or something...was absolutely breathtaking.
and nancy wilson? she is a legend. she is past compare. there is a reason why she cut 70 albums. omg she has such stage presence you can't help but warm to her. best concert EVAR.
i love the new music building.

it is a bright sunny day out there, the kind of day you execute rosenbergs on. snow's fresh and melting.
i was sent to requisition stuff. requisition. reh-kwee-see-tzsion. sounds so soviet, only i'm not requisitioning grain, i'm requisitioning a crate of water. it's like inquisition, only with goods instead of words.
