wilco, howard dean and the pistons

do i still have lice? i have to say that i don't know. i have washed my hair 3 different times w/ the lice killing shampoo and i have also faithfully combed my hair thoroughly with the nit-comb provided with the shampoo. i still feel some itching. no one else in the house has got lice except my husband. usually the only way adults get lice is through kids bringing it home from school. my two youngest don't go to daycare and the other two don't have it. this leaves only two options: my husband brought it home from work (the hospital) or i got it when i got my hair cut (which i get done maybe 1 to 2 X a year but got i cut about 2 weeks ago). this event would not be so horrible if it was not for the fact that my hair is the longest it has been in at least twenty years. since my twins were born nearly two years ago i have been letting my hair grow and have only had my hair trimmed twice. up until that point my hair was usually about the length of a crew cut.

my friend frank came down sunday and brought harry back home. harry brought home four copper-belly snakes. my house is now occupied by 6 snakes!!!!!! it was nice to have a visitor. it forces us out of our usual lame existence. on father's day we brought same steak and brats over to my ex-husband's house and had a grill out. (yep, me, my second husband, my two kids by my first husband, and my twin babies by my second husband and my friend from the UP went to my ex-husband's house and had a father's day grill-out. ) on monday we all went swimming at the east lansing acquatic center. ( a fancy name for a suburban pool with some small slides. rich white people cannot merely swim at the pool--they must go to the acquatic center....my husband is still pissed that it was $35 for 5 of us plus the babies to fucking swim in a goddamn pool. but we live two hours from the shore of any great lake.)

tuesday was the wilco concert. i know that i was pissy about this concert in a previous post but the venue was not as large as i had expected. it was still plenty big though. wilco was wonderful. as they always are. they only played two songs from being there, none from am and only a couple from summerteeth. mostly all the songs were from yankee hotel foxtrot and a ghost is born. they have a larger line-up than previously and it was very good and very rockin'. i went with ellyn and frank. we were both enthralled with the mix of songs they played in-between the opening act and wilco. it was great. it was like one of those great mix tapes you would get and listen to over and over. who picks this mix? is it the band? i was going to send an email to wilcoworld and ask. it was good.

i love all the hoopla over howard dean and his recent railing on the goddamn republicans. i feel a irrational need to be loyal to the democratic party. they have dissappointed me time and time again. i thought kerry was a fucking twat. i was appalled that this was the best they could come up with. i voted for dean in the michigan primary. i do think most republicans are evil. i think democrats should go after the goddamn republicans with no fucking mercy. look at the current stats of the support of bush and his agenda----the time is golden to jump on. why are the democrats so fucking weak? i did vote for nader in 2000. where have all the good democrats gone? what is wrong with them? is there no one that can take down bush and the republicans now???

i don't watch sports but my daughter just got home and i have to find out if the pistons are able to win the championship. (i don't give two shits about sports.) go pistons!
