ballot props

2010-09-26T00:32:09Z

So I just read through the ballot propositions pamphlet that I just got in the mail today. I highly suggest other Arizona voters read through their pamphlet when they get them as well. There are a lot of changes being proposed by these props: seven constitutional amendments, legalization of medical marijuana, and sweeping funds from two voter approved initiatives into the general fund.

Also, take the for and against arguments with a grain of salt. Some of these arguments are written without paying attention to what the prop actually does or change, some are based on misinformation, and some might be outright lies. Despite that, do read enough of the for and against arguments after reading the "analysis by legislative council" because while the analysis generally does explain the prop fairly well, it can sometimes omit or gloss over some things, like who is going to be hurt or helped by the prop.

avg or avast! ?

a followup to my last lj post, which one should I use, Avast! or AVG? I just want something non-intrusive that I can forget about after install (unless it alerts me to something of course). I don't want a system hog (I do game on my computer), and I don't want something to nag me about upgrading to a paid version all the time. So, which one?

just turned in the keys to my old place. I think I'm done with cleaning for awhile.

I have a costume idea, but no money to make it

2009-10-20T01:07:23Z

Things I will need for this costume,
- a green bowler hat
- a light gray tie
- a light gray band for the bowler
- purple gloves
- purple mask
- a purple question mark to attach to the tie
- optionally a black cane

everything but the cane and hat I could probably make/get made if I had scraps of fabric in the right color/sizes. For the bowler hat, a St. Patty's day hat could work, as long as its not too bright of green. If you have the appropriate materials that I could borrow/take off your hands, that would be helpful.

if you want a reference picture for what I'm trying to do, this or the one that appears in the animation here.

So I have a Dreamwidth account now. I don't know how much I will use it over lj yet (I don't post all that often on lj as it is). Not much else to say atm (this post is mainly a hey, friend me over on Dreamwidth post).
