Moving... (Again)
It looks like we're moving again. It seems we can't stay in the same house for more than three years in a row. I've moved more than 8 times in the last 20 some years I've been alive.
The biggest thing is going through all the stuff and scraps we have and finaly get rid of the stuff we don't even need. Unfurtunitly that means being rahter brutal about things in the past that we've become emotionaly attatched to for some reason or another. Mostly it's my love of books, which causes my bookshelf to overflow to the ground and all over. And most them, I've read once and may never get the chance to read again. I did find the copy of "dune" I was reading a few months ago, which is good. :)
In happier news, I'm finaly done with my first draft of my play, and am now in the process of translating it to an actual standard format (I know, should have written it that way.) It's 85 pages long, which I don't know if it is too long or not. There seems to be a lot of dailog, but so did shakespeare's play. The trick is keeping it dramatic and interesting. I'll find out when I have someone read it.
I'm not very big on politics, but I saw the first day of the John Roberts confrimation hearings today. Even though I don't much about him, I think I like him from what I saw today. He compared a Supreme court justice's job to that of an umpire: keep the rules, but not writing them, It sounds like he will uphold the constition.
The afterword, Edward Kennedy (Mass-D) said he'd change his vote to him if he
"shows he'll march twords progress". I wonder if Sen. Kenedy was listening? Maybe he fell asleep.
It was expounded apon a few times by different people that the role of the supreme court justice is to make rulings based on the constitution, not change the law. (Compared to a baseball umpire by at least 2 people today at the hearing.) "Progress" and partisan politics have nothing to do with it. "Progress" is of course the catchphrase of the democratic party. I'd anoyed if someone expected him to overturn roe vs. wade. I beleive it SHOULD be overturned, but legitamitly by congress, the senate or maybe even the president. The people who's job is to make laws, not an activist judge.
