But visiting the unemployment office in person got the extension taken care of with a minimum of fuss.
Always bring a book when you know you will have a long wait, and you will be able to deal with it cheerfully.

I absolutely love Che…

…the dog.
The Goode family is absolutely hilarious, much better than An American Carol. Even funnier has been some of the reviews particularly since places like NPR don’t get the joke. Rusty Shackelford elaborates in comments at NPR:
After watching the first episode – at least when I wasn’t too busy laughing out loud – I now find out I was wrong. It wasn’t funny after all. Who knew? I sure am glad there’s someone out there who cares enough to help me get my mind right, or perhaps more appropriately, left.
At least the review is unintentionally amusing in that its tone serves to reinforce the “greenie” stereotype as simultaneously self-deprecating and unable to embrace the humor inherent to their follies. What delicious irony! But I guess I should expect nothing less from one who can’t see the rainforest through the trees. Keep up the Goode work!
My favorite is Che, mainly because he is a (mostly) normal dog, or as you would put it in psychological terms; a repressed carnivore.
This one is going to be family viewing every Wednesday night.
The Best news I’ve heard in years

I am very pleased to read this:
Moderate followers of Islam said the protest played into the hands of extreme right-wing groups and made their day-to-day lives on the streets of Luton more difficult.
Yesterday, after weeks of rising tensions sparked by the protest, members of the two groups of Muslims clashed.
Qadeer Baksh, chairman of the Islamic Centre in Luton, said a group of around 200 moderate followers descended on Bury Park in the town – where the extremists regularly preach from a stall – to drive the protesters away.
This is exactly the thing that will prevent the catastrophe that I’ve been worrying about. It is vital that we support such people without marginalizing them within Islam.
More please
The End of the 10 Doctors
Posted: May 27, 2009 by datechguy in doctor whoTags: comics, doctor who, life is good, the ten doctors
Rich’s comic Strip the 10 doctors put up its 247th and final page today.
This is an incredible work that any Doctor who fan should enjoy. He has offered several different downloads of the story including notes etc.
If that isn’t worth a hit of his tip Jar I’d like to know what is.
