Doodlebug

[W]hen the first baby laughed for the first time, its laugh broke into a thousand pieces, and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies.  And now when every new baby is born its first laugh becomes a fairy.  So there ought to be one fairy for every boy or girl.  ~James Matthew Barrie, Peter Pan

I love my drawing tablet because it loves me and treats me right. 

In the meantime, I'm in the mood for Halloween

In Addition....

Well, from what I've read on the internet (aka wikipedia) and our previosu history text book, the depiction of Jow McCarthy in the movie seems to be fairly accurate. He used brutal, accusatory, reckless tactics to "expose" the many alleged communists in the US, stamping on the Constitution while he was at it. An interesting fact, he was elected a curcuit judge in 1935, the youngest elected in Wisconsin state history. 

However, there is still that whole thing about making outrageous accusations and then not being able to prove them....

Goodnight and Good Luck: The Second Installment

Movies: Beautiful, inspiring,  idealistic. 

Fake

After watching the second half of Goodnight and Goodluck, the movies version of new seems much more appealing than what I saw on my television today. I watched the local SB news and a bit of CNN for some variety. The SB news lacked "zing". The stories weren't presented in a manner that made me think they were important and I'm not sure they would have been even if they were presented in a more appealing manner. CNN certainly had attention grabbing news, but while it was interesting, it certainly wasn't as edgy as it could have been. It seems that we need better news casters and a population with a longer attention span. 

Also, that little message board at the bottom is just annoying. 

Who came up with that idea?

If I were a computer....

I'd imagine if i were a computer, I would have to be restarted at some point. When a computer is powered off, the machine sleeps, almost like a coma, or even death. Imagine being a computer: when your owner gave the command for you to restart yourself or turn yourself off, it would be like killing yourself, trusting that you would come back from that deep sleep.

I feel guilty for turning my computer off.
