y'all should be jealous. i can see bullfighting - just a short drive away! they're not too violent, though:

'California bullfights are bloodless battles, the bulls affixed with a Velcro pad atop their shoulders.'

ahh, technology. thank goodness for velcro!

still working on some sort of graphic...i am spending way too much time on this, but i can't make up my mind as to what i like. should be us soon. as will the east coast pics (i know, i said that days ago. patience, grasshopper.)

i wish i was going to bridge school this year - forgot about buying tickets, and i was on vacation during the warehouse lottery. it should be a fine show, and shoreline is a great venue, even if it's built on an old landfill. be careful when lighting your cigarettes there! rem, ben harper, dave matthews, pearl jam - a much better lineup then when i went in 1995. well, i did get to see hootie and the blowfish :P. and what a suprise they had in athens last night! sounds like quite a show...

now ground troops. do they really think they will be able to find a man hidden in the mazes of the mountains in afghanistan? sending warnings to the citizens to stay off roads, bridges, and not to interfere with the military operations. 'if you do this you will not be harmed' the message announces.

how i hope this is true. enough innocent people have already perished.
