I downloaded a few songs through iTunes 4 to see how it works. I love it. It feels like in sci-fi where there’s no such thing as tv anymore and everything it integrated into one “net.”
I’m moving at the end of May. I left work early today to look at one place on N. Adams St. that’s under ten minutes’ walk from the Courthouse Metro. The price is right and the...

Founders’ Day was a sack-full of fun this weekend. The Chapter seems to be very strong and full of life right now. Everyone seems to be close together and very supportive of one another. It was great to see Duffy, Davis, Russell, Dahl, Goose, and Danny, who were all loads of fun. The Easter Egg Hunt actually turned out very cute, and I think that with any more advertising it would have been...

Cough Cough
grumble grumble I’m still not feeling well. I have energy but just can’t shake my cough. But after six visits to the chiropractor now and a few more in the next month my headaches seem to be on the way out. I’ll be happy to be able to clear “get terrible headache” off my nightly calendar.

One thing I’ve been looking for is political bias. The news networks have been showing with some frequency pieces of President Bush’s military base speech yesterday. At one...

Return of the King Delayed
And in today’s “But I can’t wait that long, this better be an April Fool’s Joke!” news, New Line Cinema officially announced that:
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, will be held for domestic release until Wednesday, May 12, 2004. The effects work on this third and final film of the trilogy will surpass its predecessors in scope and intensity, and the...

Hoaxes
Slashdot today had a link to an article called “The Top 100 April Fool’s Day Hoaxes of All Time.” It’s a good read. I particularly like #73 for its maliciously believable genius.
“I hear they’re closing the caf! What’s up with that?” Oh, yeah, it was making people’s tummies hurt and it cost a lot of money to run anyway. Also Jackie...
