random quick thought for the day...
it's scary when you start thinking that 32 degrees is actually rather warm.

kraftwerk - "computer love" |
] |
in the last 5 days...
1. i have performed a minor surgery on my foot to extract a tiny shard of glass
2. i have seen a crazy enormous water main break flooding down 18th St
3. i heard and saw the aftermath of a horrible three car accident on columbia road, and was thankful it wasn't another terrorist attack, which is was i thought at first
4. i have been woken up at 2 am on a weeknight by a cop car driving by, blaring what sounded like his own police radio through his speaker system in his squad car
5. i have yet to have my hands or nose feel warm, despite the fact that my apartment is so warm that i can wear a tank top around and never feel a chill
6. i have been woken up at 12:45 am every weeknight by mister heavyfoot upstairs, apparently deciding that clog dancing before bed is a super great idea
7. i have screamed and ranted and raved and cheered at the television on a snowy Sunday afternoon (yay Bucs.)
8. i have had an excellent cup o' coffee-flavored bubble tea
9. i have smoked almost a pack of djaram lights
10. i have been fairly happy.

blur - "for tomorrow" |
] |
overworked and underpaid is the mantra of many in our city. but when you actually live it , day-by-day, making little to nothing and working until every bone in your body is as tense as a tight rubber band, it becomes more than just a slacker mantra.
it becomes your life.
demoralized and tired, wishing that you hated your job so you could justify the overwhelming urge to leave, dragging yourself out of bed in the morning only because you know that your daily wages will amount to little more than a quick trip to the grocery store for some essentials... that is torture. sheer and absolute torture. torture i wouldn't wish upon anyone.
tgif motherfuckers.

devo - "freedom of choice" |
] |
feel free to copy and paste yesterday's complaints for today. many are still applicable.
today is the 30th anniversary of roe v. wade, and quite possibly, the last anniversary of the landmark decision prior to it being overturned. with supreme court retirements a distinct possibility, and a republican white house and senate poised to appoint a conservative anti-abortion replacement, things are scarier than ever.
i work on capitol hill. and today is one of the few days that my 'hood is overrun by mostly white, elderly non-procreators. i spotted an elderly couple this morning, pushing a young child of no more than 3 in a stroller, headed for the Rally for Life. lovely. it's barely 20 degrees out today, and you feel the need to subject a child to the extreme cold in order to use him as a prop. seems like child abuse to me.
for fellow pro-choice advocate in the DC area, the following event is happening tonight. you can be sure that i'll be there.
National Organization for Women candlelight vigil on the 30th anniversary of Roe v. Wade.
Location: U.S. Supreme Court, in front, 1st St. and Maryland Ave., NE, Washington, D.C. 5:30 p.m. ET.

transplants "romper stomper" |

things that make me crabby as hell:
1. crowded metro trains due to train derailments the night before
2. crazed right to lifers poking me with their pictures of mutilated babies.
3. same crazed right to lifers (all men, either elderly or younger than 14) making my wait for coffee in the morning THAT MUCH MORE EXCRUCIATING.
3. people who tell you that they are coming in to work on a holiday to help you, then decide they'd rather not.
4. meteorologists who can NEVER GET IT RIGHT, for the love of pete, Bob Ryan, i'm so disappointed in you.
Weather forecast for today (per Fox News at 10 PM):
High of 44 with intermittent clouds
Actual weather here at ground zero, a.k.a. Capitol Hill:
28 degrees and snow.
yeah, i'm a little crabby.
