There will be a feature tonight or tomorrow. Sorry about the inactivity. Everyone on Jux has a lot on their plates right now.
Rome ended tonight until 2007 or so.
Man, all I have to say is :(, and the reason for that came entirely out of left field.
You are the children of a dead planet, earthdeirdre, and this death we do not comprehend. We shall take you in, but may we ask this question–will we too catch the planetdeath disease?

“Conversations with Planet”
Pat Robertson is one of the worst human beings alive on the planet today. I’d say he’s worse than that couple that kept a teenaged girl trapped in their bedframe and sold her for sex on the internet.
I would also like to call out Dave from Oklahoma City as one of the worst people on the planet. Fuck you, Dave.
Definitely improving. One shot per eye this morning to get them in, and it only took two minutes to get them out just now.
I just took my contacts out after getting to work, having worn them since 8:00 this morning. I set a new personal record for removing them, taking 7 minutes total. 6 of those minutes were spent with my right eye, which is so much more difficult than my left for some reason.
Putting them in is pretty easy, though, so at least there’s that. But once they’re in I don’t want to face the prospect of having to remove them again. I don’t even notice I’m wearing them, so I’m wondering if I even need to go through the adjustment period. But doctors know more than me.
They’re awesome, though. As I told Travis, due to the fact that glasses are never really clean and such, it was like going from 480i to 1080p. Astounding difference.
Dear Jux,
I’m wearing contacts now.
Love,
Graeme
On the one hand I’m pissed off, because I just got to campus and found out my only class today was cancelled.
On the other hand I just had the easiest registration period ever (unless you count the emails to the head of the History department that allowed me to add the senior seminar without the prereqs). I typed in the numbers, they added, I was done. So simple some of the patrons that come in to the library probably could have done it.
Unfortunately, I’m now stuck in the student center until it’s time for my eye doctor appointment. Fucking joy.
And now for something completely different: I am experimenting with OpenOffice.org 2.0 right now. So far so good. There are a few things about it that irk me, but that’s more my perceptions of how things should work after using Word for god knows how many years than actual bugs with the program. What really bothers me is only having a “print” or “web” view; I prefer the “normal” view. Oh well. Also, I can’t seem to change the default margin size.
I’ve decided to write my next story entirely within it though, so we’ll see how that works.
