This Nation's Healthcare HELL!!!!

Okay, I don't really write in this anymore, but I am on the phone right now with my Blue Shield CA customer rep. and I just want to scream!

Like a bad car crash, you don't want to look at the destruction... but you just can't help staring.

Don't like the smell of Ajax or Comet? For about 10x the price, you can get better smelling stuff.

Funny!

All sorts of Flash bits that make you giggle and moan about U.S. and World Politics.

Comic Lovers Unite!

Just wanted to put in a little bit about a comic book shop here in San Francisco that is owned by the husband of my good friend and hair colourist expert, Melissa. The store is on Ocean Ave. and is called the Comic Outpost.

Posting from all over the place

Well, let's try out this posting by email thing.

E'NUFF SAID

I don't think I can withstand four more years of George W. Bush.



Can the two coast just form our own country? My friend Roland says that they would just invade us and put us under a police state with no rights anyways. And darn it... I was just starting to like the colour red. What's going to happen to us in four years? As a woman, I'm really thinking that whatever little ground that we have gained in women's liberation will just be totally destroyed and we'll be thrown back to the dark ages. I am really going to start looking to become an expatriate somewhere else. London would be great, Thailand would probably be cheaper but harder with the language, especially reading and writing.

My friend Phil in London feels worried for the world. Ha, this is the country that will most likely have a few nuclear warheads pointed towards it in a scant few years. I wish my parents sent me to the UK instead. This country bites. Oh well, at least there are all those tax loop holes... so I guess the USA's new motto is "Make money AND war!"

Finding TiVo

Finally TiVo works. Geez, that was a Lawrence of Arabia type of setup journey. After two exchanges (read: three different machines) and enough hold time on customer service calls to last a whole year at the Department of Motor Vehicles, it finally works. So far, it's been pretty cool, although you CAN'T watch something else on live TV while you are recording a show. But you can watch something on the DVD or something that you recorded already. Does it make it easier to watch crap TV? I guess that depends.

TV numbs the mind and perhaps that's why people can't seem to think about what is happening to this country. I bet you those states in the middle are filled with people that watch reality TV shows like Survivor and The Bachelor. I like crime dramas but do we need 7 different Law & Order and 5 CSI shows?

Let us eat cake

Cheesecake, that is.



My boyfriend had a craving for coffee and cheesecake at 9pm, so the only place I can think of was the Cheesecake Factory in Union Square. Of course, we also ended up having a couple of Manhattan's, dinner and Keoki Coffee before we had the cheesecake. The restaurant is famous for their portions and the patrons are pretty hefty themselves.
