Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker

Life is in flux BIG TIME these days. I want to keep in touch with all of my peeps. The Internet is this beautiful thing. I can move to a brand new city and still stay in easy, near-daily contact with the people I love. When I feel connected to the people in my life that matter, I am unstoppable!

Billy’s Latest Project

Oh Billy Bragg, how do I love thee?

Jail Guitar Doors is an independent initiative set up by Billy Bragg with the aim of providing musical equipment for the use of inmates serving time in Her Majesty’s prisons. It takes its name from the b-side of the Clash’s 1978 single "Clash City Rockers"… Ex-prisoners who have actively participated such sessions have are-conviction rate of between 10% – 15%, compared to the national average of 61%.

I’m Sorry!

By Abby at 10:29 am on Tuesday, November 7, 2006

My parents can’t take the stress of watching the election results come in, so they are heading even further away from civilization than they already are (a cabin in the woods) in their camper.

We’re off for two days camping in the morning. We’ll have a radio with earphones for my wife, but I’m going to try to wait until it’s all sorted out. The tedium of watching in 2004 was just too damned painful. May our collective Karma and Truth, Justice, and the American Way prevail.

I’m still feeling really sorry that I didn’t get my act together enough to be able to participate in this election. I’ve been so focused on my own “junk” that I’ve been pretty bad all year about getting the important details taken care of. I told the woman I live with that my parents were very disappointed in me for not registering, and she said, “I GAVE YOU THE FORM!” So I’m sorry to her, too. And to everyone else, too. I promise that It won’t happen again!

I’ve seen a lot of blog posts this morning reminding me to vote (I really am so sorry), but these are my favorites:
