Slashdot

Anyone still reading this thing? I just signed up at Multiply to track some of you down, my name there is jrishel. Most of my posting is still at rishel.org, and it doesn't look like Multiply has a way to pick up content from wordpress... am I wrong?

I wrote the following at my blog a few minutes ago:

I've spent all day in shock. I was sure we'd tell the rest of the world that we didn't want to be led and represented by the lying warmonger who's going to be in power for the next 4 years. I was proven wrong. Another 4 years of our civil liberties being walked all over, and some very scary supreme court appointments are sure to happen.

So, what do I do now? My first political action post election? I'm becoming a member of the ACLU. I have a feeling we'll need them now more than ever.

think my journal has been abandoned? well, it basically has. http://rishel.org now has all my ramblings.

don't worry, I still read journals here, but I prefer the control I get with my own setup

I was told I've been neglecting my Slashdot journal entries. Really, my day to day rambling have just been moved to http://rishel.org. But, a brief recap of the last month or so.

Wedding went smoothly, with only a minor and entertaining mishap with the ring bearer.

He went up the isle without his pillow with the fake rings on it, he got up front, realized he forgot it, ran back, my bride told him he didn't need it, and he ran back up front and announced "They said I don't need it." Cute kid. He's gonna be a menace (if he isn't already) when he gets a little older.

The honeymoon on St. Lucia was amazing. The all day flying there and back was not.

The island is barely bigger than Manhattan, but with something like 80% of the land being a rain forest reserve, so we got to see the major sights in a few days, and then relax on the beach for the rest of our time there.

Then we came home on June 30th, and closed on a house July 29th.

Meg's been a trooper^wtrouper and handled most of the moving stuff.

Also, she's got a teach gig lined up for next year, so the dual incomes will be nice.

Hmm. what else. Oh, I'm working on wiring the house with cat6 so I can work on my MythTV setup. Gonna need to save up some bank before I get too heavily involved in that.

Pictures from wedding and honeymoon should be on rishel.org this weekend, probably after our trip to IKEA on Saturday.

This good enough Sillypixie?

We had the rehersal and rehersal dinner today, and all went well. Getting hitched tomorrow and then off to a caribean paradise for 10 days. More write ups when I get back in July! Wish us luck!
