It keeps getting worse

Posted by: moedee on: August 30, 2005

This divide in our country – you know, the big one about our freedoms, what they are, who can exercise them, etc – just keeps getting bigger. I offer a hearty tip o’ the hat to the American Legion(biggest veteran’s group in the world according to their website) and its 2.7 million members for their [...]

Isn’t she lovely?

Posted by: moedee on: August 30, 2005

You really, really, really need to check out these lovely Vintage Hilda Prints. Believe it or not, I found them while looking at some of the w4m ads on the local craigslist. No, I wasn’t cruising for a date but I was curious as to what other women post. I have to [...]

Who says men don’t feud & gossip?

Posted by: moedee on: August 29, 2005

So my (somewhat nominal) boss is on vacation again this week and once again, here come the office politics and gossip. Apparently, some of the people in the office don’t like Boss so they have been avoiding his presence for the last 3-4 weeks since he got back from his other week off. [...]

Good Christian role models

I’m so angry I can barely breathe. I just heard about Robertson’s call (however mindless) for Chavez’ assassination. Do you realize what this is? Do you realize the importance of those statements? A leader in the mainstream Christian community openly advocated killing another human being. That’s aside from the entire assassination of a democratically elected [...]

Give me a break

I recently had the opportunity (in a doctor’s office) to quickly peruse the June 2005 issue of the Oregon Peaceworker. I was enjoying some of the pieces, especially since the issue contains a number of articles addressing a theme I feel is important – how we in the peace movement think about ourselves. [...]

I just realized

Posted by: moedee on: August 16, 2005

that I used to blog A LOT!! Not only did I blog a lot, I blogged about a lot of things and talked a lot about my education, what I was doing, and all kinds of other neat stuff. Now I’m feeling slightly loser-y because I haven’t been blogging at all for the [...]

The joys of a temp job

Posted by: moedee on: August 16, 2005

are fleeting and short-lived. Well, actually, temping is kind of fun but it’s seriously getting a bit old. I like where I’m working, like the people I work with, but the work is so far from challenging it’s laughable. Developing the little database was fun but that’s pretty much done (except some [...]
