Schedules

Feature Tomorrow

If things go according to schedule, then I’ll have up my gift suggestions tomorrow. Of course, things aren’t actually likely to go according to schedule, but we’ll improvise. I’ll make sure to get it out by the week, though, so that there’s still time to shop.

The First Amendment

And that’s what makes the kind of work you don’t like, or don’t read, or work that you do not feel has artistic worth or redeeming features worth defending. It’s because the same laws cover the stuff you like and the stuff you find icky, wherever your icky line happens to be: the law is a big blunt instrument that makes no fine distinctions, and because you only realise how wonderful absolute freedom of speech is the day you lose it.

I’m Poor

I am a poor kid. I have about three hundred or so to mess around with for the month though, which includes two big Christmas gifts and one birthday present. And I still have to get some books, a video or two, and maybe a bit of music. Finances make me sad.
