I have not been able to see my little blog in many months. I post via email. So I did not know that mobile posts were formatted the way they are. They look almost like some weird poetry, sonnets to a dying political system. Funny.
Someone called me a post modernist today. It made me giggle inside. I may be turning into a postmodernist. Oh holy shit I may be Foucault-ish, a structuralist gone post-al.
But I still think I am a structuralist. I want to smash the structures after all. Lizzie smash.

Oh art blogging, now with cartoons!
Banksy, for those of you not in the know, is a seriously famous street artist.
Someone at the Simpsons let him do the opening animation and it's bleak and awesome and it reminds me of Baraka
Sorry non USians, it's only on Hulu. (insert sad face)

Oh shiny! An end to comment purgatory
Has your comment been sitting in moderation for oh say a month now. It's been approved. Unless you're creepy. Then no approvals for you. That includes you too creepy adoption lady. This is not the kind of blog where you can bleg for a babyyyyyyyyy. Cash yes. Babies no.
OMFG I'm online
Oh fuckity fuck fuck. This thing is fucking fast. I can't believe it. Intertubes. OMG I LOVE YOU INTERTUBES! I missed you. We shall never part again!!!!!!!!
I am trying to adjust to typing with all 10 fingers. And punctuation. And spell check (wait is spell check on in firefox?) Wevs. Just wevs.
I owe many many thanks to bloglandia. I also owe one generous godless whore a ranty email to Patty Murray. I am adjusting to looking at a screen larger than 2.5 inches square. I ended up going with the Virgin mobile unlimited wireless USB tool and it's grand. I haven't tried to watch any videos yet, but programs were downloading too fast for me to be able click through the install screens. So I am hopeful. And chipper. Fucking chipper. I may just jizz in my pants over internet access.

one of these things is just like the other
finish this sentence: republicans are to fearful zenophobes as
democrats are to fearful women. let's see, take a large portion of
your base. terrify the base with horrible scenerios of what the other
guys will do if elected, brown people will run the streets speaking
not english, coat hanger manufacturers will experience exponential
growth. all your nightmares will come true if you don't vote our
way!!!!!
after the election, all is forgotten we need undocumented workers to
keep citizens from asking for wages they can live on and health
insurance companies will be damned if their going to pay for special,
elective medicine for the ladies. so suck it voters, your fear is just
a tool to keep power where it belongs.
the only way to get off the hamster wheel is to get off the hamster
wheel. you'll never out run the fearmongers while you're on it.
*ftr- i don't have any kind of problem with undocumented workers.
people go where the jobs are. it's the legacy parties' tactics that
are the same, not the voters.

fear in action
so i've stopped talking politics with my family 6 months ago. they are
the classic example of the 'but the republicans are evil and we'll all
die if you don't vote straight blue'. tonight i was dragged into a
fight where my concientious voting objector position was compared to
the nazis, at least it was until i pionted out that the line being
used (the only thing needed for evil to flourish is for good men to do
nothing) is generally used when describing good germans. this whole
awful fight was because i don't appreciate how hard dems have worked
but they are thwarted at every turn by republicans. i am just not
grateful enough and can't do the simple math that 59 or 57 isn't a
majority.
the entire time this fight is going on the cnn news scroll reads
'white house comes out against moratorium on foreclosures'. but
everything is the republicans' fault. uh huh.

digital divide, part 2
now to getting internet access. at least now going to the coffee place
with the free wifi won't be an exercise in torture. but we still don't
have it at home (hence the poor spelling, punctuation and formatting
of the mobile phone posts). being rural leaves us only 2 broadband
choices, and i owe comcast money for their craptastic service while
other people owe the phone company. it's still an uphill battle, but
it's less steep now.
thank you godless whores and evilmart clerk who risked her job because
'i know what it's like to be just this short of being able to get what
you need'. the damn internet is my lifeline to people and what tiny
bits of income i get. not having proper access to it for this last
year has really kicked my ass.
