I thought I should give you guys a heads up on why I haven’t been posting that much – I don’t have Internet at home yet, thanks to Charter Communications. They have been giving me a bit of the run around, although it seems from the last round of shouting that it’s coming soon. Here’s a tip – if you threaten them with something like “I’ll move to DirectTV”, they start making things cost less. [sigh] I guess it’s just the way it is. Anyway, I probably won’t be posting Saturday or Sunday, but back to somewhat normal on Monday.

thanks,

I don’t have internet hooked up at the house yet, so my picture updating abilities are going to be slack for the next few days. Sorry. Most of my pics are saved on a computer at my house, so there’s no real way to get them up easily. I’ll see what I can do, but don’t expect anything new till Monday.

Thanks,

Can someone spot me $1.67 million USD? Thanks.

Welcome to the ultimate sociopolitical model for the 21st century: a Blade Runner-esque melting pot of neo-liberalism and “subterranean” economy, Sunni Arab Islam and low taxes, souks and artificial islands, a giant warehouse and a tourist paradise, life in the fast lane and post-modern slavery. The model spells out an apolitical, consumer-mad, citizenship-free society.

I just closed on a house! I have keys and all that. I’m very happy with it, and I’ll start posting pictures of it soon. I just figured I’d give everyone – well, both readers of this site – a heads up.
