Regular readers might remember that I’m leafing through my old journals. I found this entry from sometime in August, 1988. Songs that Might Make You CryIf I Laugh–Cat StevensAlison–Elvis CostelloMessage in a Bottle–PoliceAll My Love–Led ZeppelinShe’s Always a Woman–Billy JoelNo one is watching you now–‘Til TuesdayWith or Without You–U2Just You n Me–ChicagoLast Night I Dreamt…

This evening after dinner, Geeky Boy suddenly launched into a discussion about the whole Karl Rove/Valerie Plame affair. I’d reproduce it, Bitch, Ph.D.-style, but it was way too complicated. At first, GB didn’t quite get how Karl Rove was in trouble; he didn’t seem to have anything to do with it. Then I explained how…

I love my family, but honestly, I think I could have lived alone. When I was a senior in college, I lived in an apartment by myself, largely thanks to my boyfriend dumping me, but still I think it was the best thing that could have happened to me. It’s sort of ironic because I…

I don’t know if you’ve notice the page count going down over there, but it is. Writing is going. There will be no revising until the weekend. I only look back a sentence or two to pick up the story. There is no editing. I turn this piece in to my writer’s group on Sept.…

He believes that the resolution promotes…

Much, much better. As you all suggested, I skipped the difficult part and trudged ahead. Got 4 pages, most of which were new, some taken from bits and pieces I’d written earlier. I stayed up way too late, though, so I’m not writing this morning, the head is foggy. I will write again tonight though.…

After reading this, I sent a letter to my rep, whom I’ve met, and who is a Democrat. Where are the reasonable people? Bitch, Ph.D., as usual, has good stuff too. Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure
