Ok, so the server move didn’t happen. I was completely and utterly shaken by what I saw yesterday. The words, "Please let me take it back," don’t even express half of what I feel, and I’m about to do something that kinda goes against what I promised I would or rather wouldn’t do.
More and more blogs are becoming the new media source. Tailored to the subjects that we’re more interested in whether it be entertainment based or with a more liberal slant, I like Wizbang because I tend to find some off the wall news articles there, and they always go into something with an open mind regardless of their political mentalities because quite frankly everything is political right now.
The Nick Berg murder is causing a firestorm on the internet it seems. Our media is quite willing to show images of Iraqi prisoners being tortured and humiliated, and furthermore it’s front page news. Why? Probably because it could mean trouble for Bush. Who knows. I don’t care. The thing is, people want to know about Berg. They want to see the video. I’m assuming the majority want to see it because they need to. Call it affirmation. My mother calls it voyeurism. And then there are the sick fucks.
I would rather have not seen either. Not on tv. Not on the internet. But we’re Americans and as Americans we perhaps have a right to that information, so for the next day I’m providing a link to the video. It’s not work safe, and it’s not for the meek. Wizbang and some other sites have been swamped, but apparently I’m doing just fine. Then again sitemeter seems to be dead. I’m switching servers tonight so beware, and for the love of God if you’re just looking for the video to see a man die, you’re a sick fuck. There’s nothing great about seeing a man my age screaming for 20 odd seconds while they saw his head off.

Wizbang has that video. The one with Nick Berg being murdered and I clicked on it. I guess I thought I was going to see the same thing I saw on the news; absolutely nothing.
Yours truely is very good at lying to herself.
The video is the most horrifying thing I have ever seen in my life, and the murderers (because I can think of no other name for them) are going to wish that when they’re caught, they’re dealt with humanely, because right now they deserve to fry.
Berg was a civilian. He was in Iraq to help people. Sheesh.
I’m so distrurbed. -

Blasphemy! Don’t read!
There is a god. I passed the MPRE on the third try. I guess I’m ethical afterall. But we knew that. I just pretended to be a manipulative bitch all these years online to look cool.

NIN is playing on winamp. Hehe. -
all-about-me
Oh thank goodness, the server is back. 4 days of downtime equals a very bored me. My poor host was just as frustrated, and I feel bad for him, but I’ve also decided that it’s time for me to move the domain to a server that’s a bit more stable. An old host of mine is having a great deal that I can actually afford, so I’ll be moving there in the next few days.
Now for the bad news. Yours truly will be taking the exam again in July. Oh well. I guess I’ll be one of the three timers. I’m anxious to be receiving my results today just to see how much I missed it by. I’m hopeing I was close.
Not passing does put a dent in my plans for the summer. I have to start studying now since my parents have a trip planned for Spain, and I sorta can’t cancel those since the tickets are non-refundable. It’s the ‘studying again’ part that kills me. UGH. This is why I hope I was really close and it all comes to me via osmosis.
Ah, such is life. No, really. I’m fine. -
d-day
I think it’s tomorrow, or rather today. The words, can this just be over come to mind. I just want to pass, damnit.
Wish me luck? I need lots of it. -

The secret is out! Moveabletype version 3.0 is now in beta stage, and I can now say that I was an alpha tester, and I’m still testing it. It doesn’t like me very much though.
I may upgrade this blog to the beta eventually once one of the minor/major kinks is fixed. That, and well I’d be lost without MT Blacklist. Stay tuned. -

I did something different today with my hair. I killed the bangs. Swept them back, ironed them straight with my jibere iron, and now I’m considering growing them out for good this time. There’s only one downside. I gleefully asked C. how I looked because I was amused. "You look older."
Ouch!
Ok, ok. Vanity forsake me. I get a kick out of hearing my roommate’s friends incorrectly guess my age. Miss America I am not. Nor am I 21. I look great for being 26.
That isn’t senial, though when I find I can no longer remember the words to Porgia Amor it’s rather frightening. But that’s another story. I’d rather say, "Damn me to hell." Now I’m just playing around to see who can quote me there.
I’m in the mood for change, and whether the bangs go or stay, well I can’t believe I’m posting about it. How mundane.
