Wow, how can my life be so busy when I’m not getting anything done?
I’ve been toying with the concept of setting up websites that auto-populate themselves with content that I’m interested in. Basically I would take a topic (like politics) and retrieve the latest posts from like-minded sites… display those posts as headlines over a square thumbnails extracted from the original post… and link that headlined thumbnail back to the original post. So, it would look like a lot of square thumbnails linking to the latest headlines from my recommended sites on that topic. Not only would I have a one-stop-shop for the latest stuff (almost like a personal Drudge Report), but I’d also be able to post my own two cents to be intermingled among the “experts”.
I still need to publish the pictures from our anniversary jaunt to Lake Placid.
I also have a few shots from San Jose and San Francisco to publish.
I think I’m getting to the point where I’m going to drop all support for the few WordPress themes I created. It’s more trouble than it’s worth (well… it was NEVER worth anything directly, but that’s not the point) and my time has better outlets than to keep up templates that I regard as far inferior to some others currently available and with dedicated authors keeping them current.
And it feels like a bazillion other things are all going on at the same time. Oh well.

As for my life, I have a Communist 5th hour teacher. So dang frustrating. She believes in all the crap about how you can’t say anything if it could be slightly offensive about something or the other, even if its true. In her class, we were talking about a shooting in Detroit. During the course of my discussion, I rose my head and said, “And this is news because . . .” Because Detroit is known to be a crime infested city. My communist teacher took this to be offensive to Detroiters and sent me down to the Assisstant Principal, who people have aptly nicknamed “Mr. Satan.” Mr. S gave me detention for that statement. He gave me more crap about how you can’t say anything if it could be taken the wrong way. So I said, “So if something could be insulting, you’re supposed to bury the truth?” That made him divert to saying that we were talking about that particular crime, not the overall crime situation in the city. So I said, “You are giving me detention for straying off topic?” He didn’t like that very much.
Anyway, I told my dad who used to be a conservative activist and lived in Detroit when it converted from good place to live to slum. We are going to have a meeting with the Communist, the Satanic, and the Principal and get it straightened out. My dad is going to figuratively rip the first two limb-from-limb. It’s going to be interesting to see.
