You know, I really don't appreciate the assault on the Catholic Church in modern times. When you think about it, it's really not in humankind's best interests to disparage or weaken the institution. The Catholic Church has been the front line of defense against all manners of the supernatural and occult for thousands of years. If the Pope goes down, and I get bitten by a freakin' werewolf, I'm coming for YOU, Amanda Marcotte

Speaking of which, I had a dream last night that there existed a charismatic young left-wing senator who wasn't afraid to speak pragmatically about the issues. Politics are a lot like comic books. Everybody has got this huge back story, which becomes largely unimportant for the purposes of a single episodic installment. For the people who follow it, they've got their favorites and...dis-favorites for one reason or another. "Oh HIM? Don't you know he voted against NAN-OPA in '88?" It's tough for the casual fan not to feel intimidated in this environment, which is probably why we like the so-called 'fresh faces' of Edwards and Obama (can YOU spot who's got the cooler video page?). Politics even has its super villains.

It's currently 8 AM and I've been up for the past 3 hours. I couldn't sleep because of the burning pain in my leg. My injury was sustained Monday night in a full-speed, flying attempt to prevent a flying disc from being caught by some guy in Milford. Said guy did, in fact, catch the disc...much to my dismay. I tried to bandage it yesterday, but the wound sticks to the bandage and causes all kinds of pain (not to mention preventing it from healing).

Pictures coming soon!

Also....did I really just write a blog entry about the disgusting festering wound on my leg? Whatever. Maybe it's the first part in the series on "How my leg got amputated".

So I've been really spiffing things up around here. The latest addition is the RSS feed. It's interesting to add an RSS feed, because on the one hand it lets people know when I've updated the site, and even see the post, as soon as I post it. So it makes it easier for people to read the site. But on the other hand, it kind of makes it so that people only view when there's an update. Oh who am I kdding, see #NobodyReadsThisSite.

Anyways, I've also added the 'see all' view of the blog, to compliment the front page which only shows the latest 5 entries. There have been a great number of behind the scenes tidying and fixing, most of which nobody should really notice but which make me feel good about myself and the site.

But of course the coolest thing is the DHTML to add a comment. Go ahead, click the 'add a comment' link....I dare ya!

I've cleaned up this website a bit. The major change is that the main page now uses <div>s instead of <table>s to layout the content. Although this seems like a meaningless change, and you can probably not tell any difference (assuming there's anyone out there; 'ECHO! echo...echo...echo...') (on second thought, I know Emily is there because she left a cute comment about being my online stalker).

I've also gotten rid of all the mumbo-jumbo on the comments page which didn't work anyways.

I also replaced the weird quote that has been up for a while. In the interest of editorial impartiality, I had left it up....and hoped that someone would come through and replace it. Well since all of you slackers couldn't pull it off, I was left to replace it myself.

Anyways, the biggest changes are yet to come! Look out!
