Then, maybe some writing in..been on code for so long, I’ve been neglecting creative plots.

Just installed starry night – backyard., and it’s fricking *amazing*. a total hoot.
has a 15 day trial period, and I think most people that are willing to sit through a 15 meg download (on dial-up- busy server, to my laptop it took about an hour, on dsl, it’d probably shoot down in 10 minutes or less) it’s a ton of fun. Even more so on the laptop, because you can take it outside and do stuff, compare to the real stars. more fun than just astronomy, though is the “view from any point” stuff…I like flying back out into space, and looking at satellites orbiting earth, and such. It’s peaceful, listening to soft music, imagining ones self in a out in vacuum.
There’ll be no XP for me
The following are some of the reasons that XP feels to me like a downgrade rather than an upgrade.

And, the news. I’ve been trying to keep Bin Laden out, but I think this is significant
Mississippi School To Move Into Last Century
=================================
The Tate County (Miss.) School Board has decided to stop electing separate black and white high school homecoming queens and courts – next year. Opponents of the practice have filed a formal complaint with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights and had sought to invalidate a Sept. 18 election of two slates of candidates.
They term the outdated practice “racist” and illegal. A similar situation at Hernando High School in 1997 was investigated by the Office of Civil Rights and led to race-neutral elctions there.
CIA, We Did Not Teach Bin Ladin
=================================
Numerous comments in the media recently have reiterated a widely circulated but incorrect notion that the CIA once had a relationship with Usama Bin Ladin. For the record, you should know that the CIA never employed, paid, or maintained any relationship whatsoever with Bin Ladin.

“They say no one will ever rhyme ‘purple’
But I say that someday, those who usurp will!”
oh, and my best rhyme for orange is doorhinge.
Cool… I had no idea that the U.S. can selectively disable civilian GPS signals in specific areas (thereby preventing things like our enemies from using our satellites to move their troops). Makes sense.
INCUBUS: Wish you were here
I dig my toes into the sand
The ocean looks like
A thousand diamonds
Strewn across a blue blanket
I lean against the wind
Pretend that I am weightless
And in this moment
I am happy, happy
I, wish you were here
I, wish you were here
I, wish you were here
I, wish you were
Here
I lay my head onto the sand
The sky resembles
A backlit canopy
With holes punched in it
I’m counting UFOs
I signal them with
My lighter
And in this moment
I am happy, happy
I, wish you were here
I, wish you were here
I, wish you were
Here
Wish you were here
I, oh
The world’s a rollercoaster
And I am not strapped in
Maybe I should hold with care
While my hands are
Busy in the air
Saying
I, wish you were here
I, wish you were
I, wish you were here
I, wish you were here
I, wish you were
Here
Wish you were here

“Within each of us, ofttimes, there dwells a mighty and raging fury.”
Pilot episode, The Incredible Hulk
Throughout history, we have been plagued with tales of mad animal-men, wild lycanthropes that tear through the night eating human flesh, violating women and animals, and infecting humanity itself.
Why is that? Instinct? It’s one of the story types that is everywhere you look, regardless of culture.
It just occurred to me, reflecting on my aggressively protective nature of those I love.
