things that make you go huh...

I work at captel. captel is weird. it's a great service, helping people who are deaf and hard of hearing to use the phone freely...but its weird. Today i was working and wondering (you do get a lot of time to wonder...and read...and color) what these people (the "clients") think of us, do they think of us...really, it's just a bunch of hungover college kids in wisconsin relaying people's (often) very private conversations all accross the country. the responsibility sometimes feels too great. also leaves me feeling like a talking robot, devoid of humanity.

i live in wisconsin. wisconsin is also weird. some factions in our state government can't seem to let go of the "guns, god and gays" thing (again) this legislative session and are ramming conservative anti-choice, anti-gay legislation down our throats again. why?

the uw-madison got ranked the #1 party school in the country this year, beating out a very angry mob of uc-boulder students, who usually win. we're #1....yay! The local cops, etc. don't seem to have many great ideas about how to control the crowd this halloween. i say let them eat mayhem. let it go. leave the bars open later, stop serving earlier, and let everyone hang out. jeez!

well, i'm not giving very careful thought or adding very persuasive or informative depth to this discussion of very random things that don't go together, so i'll go...really...i'm going...

oh, by the way, nature is pissed off in a big way. we should really stop screwing with her. seriously.

i almost forgot. this is my friend rob. rob is very weird. would you pick this guy up off the highway? 'nuff said.
