Weirdest Dream lately :
I dreamed I was on the "other side" when my Dad was passing. I spoke to him and made sure he was okay. Then I woke, and knew he was gone. 30 minutes later, we got the call from the hospital saying that his blood pressure had crashed in the last 30 minutes.
Currently working on :
A BTVS related story called "Long Goodbye" which deals with a member of the Watchers Council being vamped as part of an experiment.
Also completing my nanowrimo effort.
A blog for that outspoken and aggressive member of the Buffy Bulletin Board.

Trying to impeach
As I've mentioned elsewhere and as reported elsewhere on the net, there are several attempts to impeach Bush going through various stages of development at the moment.
I'm not sure how I feel about it. On the whole, I think Bush is a fucking monster who needs to be removed ASAP, but what the hell is he to be replaced with? Some of the impeachment plans are for Cheney and Ashcroft and the rest of those assholes, but that's almost guaranteed not to work. As a cynic, I can't believe the solution to killing the Hydra is to try and simultaneously remove all the heads at once.
So while I think the effort to impeach Bush is a worthy thing like the peace-marches, I think they're equally pointless in that they will not work. But I have to respect them. On some level, they are continuing to work within the system. A system we all know to be flawed. But they are trying to make it work, and stay within the system because they believe in it. They believe it can be salvaged. That the system, ultimately, does work.
But does it? Or does it just help identify good men so that they can be "Wellstoned" ?
