I’m all moved in to my new apartment now, almost. I have about 80-90% of my stuff moved. The rest I plan on packing and bringing up on weekends. I also need to have my phone hooked up, and my internet was hooked up on Friday, but it’s not working right now. What I was [...]

It’s Christmas Morning. So far it’s an average to good Holiday. On the down side, my maternal grandmother is in a nursing home recovering from shoulder surgery and heart problems. Instead of the normal Christmas Day at her house, we will be visiting her in the nursing home. My family normally celebrates Christmas by spending [...]

Yesterday I got a call from the manager of the apartment I put in for. My application was accepted. I have to go in on Monday to sign the actual lease. I’ve gotten some boxes and started packing. I look forward to this probably being the easiest move I’ve done so far, and maybe the [...]

I’m not too happy with Best Buy right now. My new Tivo is on the fritz, so I called DirecTV to see if there was anything they could do to help me fix it. They told me that I should take it back to Best Buy and get a new one. I took it to [...]

At least there is one of the nine Justices that is looking out for us. Justice Antonin Scalia has been a staunch defender of Constitutional values, and is by far the biggest advocate of individual rights and limited government as envisioned by the framers of the Constitution. The following is from his dissenting opinion on this case (McConnell v. Federal Election Commission):
