Tax season scares me.
But, I welcome it this year.
I'll get a refund.

Charlotte's Top 15 Drunk Drivers.
When I graduated from college, my best friend and roommate's parents were killed by a drunk driver. When I lived in Atlanta, my landlord regularly drove himself home drunk out of his mind. (He lived in the apartment next door.) They should publish a regular article like this in every newspaper.
Dean Action Network
More stupid legislation!
Makes me glad I don't live in Georgia anymore. Rep. John Noel (D-Atlanta) and four co-sponsors filed a bill Tuesday that would make it a misdemeanor "of a high and aggravated nature" not to offer sweet tea in any restaurant that serves iced tea.

Boycott Europeum software!
They sold me some software that didn't work. I told them I wanted a refund. And they refused. Although I prepaid for a software license, I did not use what I downloaded. [and, for the record, I wouldn't even know what to do with it. The only programming language I know is HTML] I asked for a refund several times. And, they still refused.
Do NOT buy from Europeum.net or you could get screwed too!

Fight the Power.
The Dixie Chicks got raked over for exercising free speech.
Oscar
Steve Martin did a another excellent job of hosting the Oscars last night. I won the prediction contest... with 4 correct votes out of the 7 we wagered on.
Michael Moore won an Oscar last night for his excellent documentary, 'Bowling for Columbine.' [He also won the Independent Spirit Award the night before.] He was given a standing ovation as he approached the stage. And, then he was given a mixture of (mostly) jeers and some cheers as he gave an anti-war speech. I don't get it. He made some great points. And, the audience cheered him at first. Why the sudden switch?? Here's his speech.
I couldn't sleep last night / this morning. So, I got out of bed at 5:15am. That fuckin' Dixie Chicks cover of "Landslide" is playing in my head,.. and I can't get it out. Stevie Nicks recorded the first version, I think. But, I much prefer the Smashing Pumpkins rendition. I have no idea why the Chicks are playing in my head. I guess I hear that one on the radio all the time. (as I'm quickly scanning for a different station.)
I finished a new web site yesterday. Check out Peeramid.com. My friend Carolyn, who I met on a studies abroad trip to Italy way back in 1987, is the inventor/owner of Peeramid products.
