AMUH and general musings
Mar. 12th, 2003 09:04 amSo after a long day at work I headed of to the AMUH Exu devotional at BFUU. There were a couple of new folks and several House members were missing - Bear still in hospital from his motorcycle spill (though expected home tomorrow with walker), Maeva & Bruce were in contractor hell, others simply absent. There were only two senior mediums to handle the consultations instead of the usual five or six. I got an Omolu consult and asked about my shoulder. He says heat, stretching and a "bone doctor" (chiropractor, I think). I have been forgetting the heat. During the Exu dancing I went out briefly twice. I really don't like that the way the Orixa seem to interact with me is kind of like surfing my brain. They hit the tops of the waves and are gone. I dont' feel like I get very good contact. Oh, Sharon made a funny remark about getting our "Orixa-cise" as we dance and chant for the deities. Yep, that's what I go for. ;-) Love that dancin' and chantin'.
Heard the news about "freedom fries" in the congressional lunchroom. As those they have anything to do with the French anyway. Sometimes I am just ashamed to be an American. During WWII they called sauerkraut "freedom cabbage" so as not to have it associated with Germans. *sigh* Bloody idiots.
There was a good article in Monday's Chronicle about the library in Santa Cruz warning readers about the Patriot Act. Good for them. It also mentions that Rep. Bernie Sanders, Ind-Vt., introduced a bill last week to repeal the library and bookstore provisions and that the bill's 23 co-sponsors include four Bay Area Democrats -- Reps. Barbara Lee of Oakland, Lynn Woolsey of Petaluma, Sam Farr of Carmel and Pete Stark of Fremont. I'll have to send a letter to my rep asking her to join.
I guess I'll go back and see if the machine I need to get my work done is back in service. *sigh* I have this *mountain* of work and I can't get through to the machine with the files. Stress, what stress?›
