data conversion error



(LAX) -- Too bad you have to order new passenger jets several years in advance.



That's what the folks at Qantas Airways must be thinking.� They're now flying the massive and expensive Airbus A380 to LAX from Australia.� �And they're doing it when the global economy is in the tank.� People aren't travelling as much or spending as much for business or pleasure as they once did.



The timing is terrible.



At least the new jet will save some money on fuel.� It's more efficient than a 747 and carries more people, too.� That may be the only saving grace.



The double-decker A380 landed here from Melbourne this morning on its inaugural commercial flight. (How big is the demand for seats between Melbourne and LAX, I wonder).



John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John (Australia's most famous export) were on hand for the festivities.� Seeing them was the highlight for me.� Olivia looks the same after all these years.



The flight was sold out.� Coach tickets cost $1100 roundtrip.� Or you could book the luxury suite, with a double bed, for $27,655 per passenger

el chacal de nahueltoro




I used to love the Texas Renaissance Festival, but in recent years I have liked it less and less, mostly because I usually end up with a raging migraine by the end of it. I resolved to try again this year, and got up at the crack of dawn and spent a whole day there. The weather was beautiful, the shows were a lot of fun, and the people I have never seen it so crowded By the time the fireworks faded and were on our way to the cars, I was sore and tired, but happy I had gone.

You donapos;t really have to watch this. Itapos;s an anti-McCain video.

Iapos;m not posting it up here to trash McCain, and this isnapos;t my politics icon. Because McCain isnapos;t the issue Iapos;m interested in talking about.

This is a good example of a bad argument. Anyone with a computer can now splice together footage, throw a bit of commentary to keep the implications facing one direction, put a dramatic song in the background and get a slick looking political video. The problem with this approach is that itapos;s unbalanced. UTTERLY. Itapos;s not that these clips never happened or anything--theyapos;re usually not even used with utter manipulation to their subject matter or anything. The problem is that the commentary keeps you facing the "right" direction rather than hearing the clips in their full context, and the bigger problem is that the whole issue--both sides--is never addressed. No one gets a rebuttal. No one gets to

The system of argumentation we see in America over and over (education, politics, even media) is modeled on the Greek progenitors--advocacy. Take a position and defend it, and then someone argues with you. In many other cultures this is considered quite arrogant. I can often tell an ESL paper even when itapos;s grammatically clean because thereapos;s no thesis. The paper weighs both sides of an issue and in the conclusion makes a conclusion that is clearly disclaimed as an opinion. But thatapos;s not how American academia works. You set your thesis in the introduction and you back it up.

But advocacy depends on dissent. That someone arguing with you is as much a part of the process as presenting your case. The unspoken understanding is that someone will come and have a contrary position and in the crucible of your disagreement, some crap can be burned away. Respectful disagreement is absolutely vital for the process. Yet many would silence the other side, or reject it out of hand. Or, as in the case of these videos, never even deal with it. If you want to buy into propaganda, go ahead. You can join a world of media fragmentation where you never even have to deal with news you donapos;t agree with and your little world can be exactly what you want it to be.

Advocacy without a respected opponent is just being an opinionated blowhard.

cesa 8 wisconsin




I know of only 1 truly happily married couple and thatapos;s my Godchildrenapos;s parents. And I know while married you canapos;t be "happy" 24/7 but what Iapos;m talking about is all the other shit the married people I know put each other through or go through. Itapos;s NOT worth it. One couple, the man plays video games all day but gets mad if his wife goes out although heapos;s not willing to go with her, another couple I know the wife thinks her husband is cheating and I wouldnapos;t doubt it. One couple is so screwed up and they TRY to pretend everything is perfect and the only people they are fooling are themselves cause no one else believes it, especially when the husband hits on his own wifeapos;s family members (PIG) Everyone else I know has ended up divorced, alcoholic, drugs, etc.

And I wonder why Iapos;m not married yet.

Yes I am a bit bitter today.

Sorry most of these updates are sad and slow. My bouncy happy self has an art journal in GreatestJournal. Same name, if youapos;d like to trot over.

Anyways, Kaci came to me yesterday and told me of a concert. Dad says itapos;s a ways off, but I think I know exactly where it is.

Danny Smith, The City Drive, is playing in Canoga Park LA ^__^

Iapos;ll be lucky if my plan works. If I pick the proper times, get the right people, everything will fall in place. But nothing will replace this guilt I feel inside.

Thisapos;d be my first concer -ever- Iapos;ve never been a concert girl, but considering this is Cali, itapos;s seven dollars, I can probably get an autograph afterwards. I wonder...*blushes* If heapos;d let me kiss him ^___^; Iapos;ll ask when I go. Iapos;m sure he wonapos;t if *cough*bitch*cough* is there. I have no idea on there current status. But if she IS their, probably...probably not. Iapos;m thinking of making him a plushie of himself with a cute kick ass clothing deal and throwing it onstage after applause. Iapos;d probably do a note with the doll, XP Funny stuff. Iapos;d throw in my number and a drawing. Bwaha ^ ^; Yeah. Right. Well keep hoping Dana. The world can bring wonderful things.

To be honest, I want to give him my guitar. I have no idea what to do with it otherwise. I canapos;t play it. It only had three strings xD Maybe if I repair it? But wait...you know...never mind. I just thought of something.

Iapos;m saving that guitar for my kid. (NOT preg, but when I do have a family)

Just because I canapos;t play it, doesnapos;t mean my kids wonapos;t figure it out

Anyways, todays another day. Today is a bit easier, honestly. My dad called me on my cell phone to wake me up. I didnapos;t pick up. Didnapos;t feel like it. I sent him two text messages letting him know I was up.

In a way, I am sad again today, though. Yesterday was a really really rough day. Someone really ruined it when they threw a paper ball at my head o_O; But 6th period doesnapos;t know who I am yet, so theyapos;re testing me. Well, Iapos;ll stand, or fall, with flying shades of black ^_^

God I love the song "Saints" right now so hard. *points to current music* He sounds very Californian in his songs, which also drives me to think of a fimilar band. He reminds me of an up-to-date Beach Boys for some reason. Mostly with apos;Bring me everythingapos;

Gah no more ranting Ok, Iapos;m out you guys...

Oh...*blushes furiously* One more thing...

Sarah, a good friends of mine, dumped her boyfriend. Yesterday while I was walking home, I was doing some HEAVY zoning. He walked up next to me and I thought he was someone else. Traceyapos;s ex. No, SARAHapos;S ex. I apologised for the mindless mistake and asked him what was up. He said nothing, and we got into a long conversation. It went all the way to my crossing corner and I stopped and turned around. We talked for a few more minutes.

WHY DID SARAH DUMP HIM? Heapos;s an absolute..GAH Heapos;s SMART. Heapos;s Heapos;s got manners JESUS if SHE doesnapos;t take him, I WILL Iapos;m suppose to relay a message to Sarah. Iapos;m going to repeat all of above. I want him, seriously. I almost fell head over heels. But itapos;s not my place to interupt with my greed. No. I wonapos;t. Iapos;ll really lay it on Sarah. Jesus heapos;s...glorious. And heapos;s decent, too. But...*eyes widen* things he said...High School...he was more like a COLLEGE kid He was..was...

Just like me.

We had a few things in common, but also Iapos;m still me...today will prove you guys. Today will prove.

-Dana

We missed our flight Thursday (much wailing and gnashing of teeth), so we got to Myrtle Beach Friday afternoon. We took Mum out for an obscene amount of steamed crabs, and then headed to the Homecoming football game. Itapos;s really odd to see people with whom you went to high school after 20 years. Iapos;ll be posting a ton of photos later, but for now, a touch of schmoop:



Aw, weapos;re bringing the cute. :) So My high school team lost, the marching band is about half the size it used to be, and Iapos;m embarrassed that names are escaping me. Today we went to the reunion picnic, which was cold and wet. Tonight is the finale. And tomorrow we will catch up with Teresa.

Thereapos;s much ponderousness forthcoming. Youapos;ve been warned. ;P

carpet select




Okay, so Iapos;m home alone right now and about an hour ago (8pm) I hear a knock on the door. I talk to the lady through the peephole and she wants to do some water testing?? Wtf? And then I hear the dog bark at something towards the back yard. So, I look and nothingapos;s there. Maybe Iapos;m being paranoid, but I think the water lady was supposed to be a decoy or something to see if anyone was home., I called the local sheriff and they said theyapos;d come out to the neighborhood and see whatapos;s up.

So.... Needless to say Iapos;ve been hiding knives in my room and jumping at anything the dogs bark at. Jackapos;s out with friends playing cards, and wonapos;t be home til 11ish. >_< AHHHH

;_; I hope itapos;s nothing, but Iapos;m still scared

bill clinton costume




Oh, and, dude, now Iapos;m a little sick. Like, I could feel it possibly getting worse today. Which sucks ass. It could just be all the cigarette smoke last night, because when there is a lot, I tend to feel sort of really gross the next day (in the way that Iapos;m feeling gross today).

My plans are still on for tonight, though. Iapos;m leaving for Lilyapos;s shortly, and then Sonia and I are going to go see Assassins tonight. She wants to go to The Ugly Stick afterward (itapos;s a place sort of like Coyote Ugly, from what Iapos;ve heard, but there are different parts to the bar, too), so I may be doing that too. Depends on how Iapos;m feeling.

crossfire audio





Wierd funny things:
  1. My therapist has met my crazy ex-roommate--and was very happy for me that the lady no longer lives here
  2. My two housemates and I independently and at separate locations bought the same Japanese woodcut of an owl notecard.
  3. I nearly slept through my bus-stop this morning, and only woke up when the driver called out "Seattle Public Library".� I wonapos;t wake up for my job, but Iapos;ll wake up for books.
  4. Iapos;ve been assigned to organize the execsapos; holiday party this year--in addition to being in charge of the company holiday card--does this mean I can dress like an elf for the entire month of December?� I should ask my boss...
