It's Challenger and 9/11/01 all over again. You know it's horribly real but your brain refuses to process what your eyes are seeing. Many of you here know I'm a fanatic about spaceflight, so the events of yesterday are especially difficult to comprehend. I feel really sick knowing I've seen the destruction of the Columbia in dreams many times over the past several years, and despite the irrational sound of it, part of me can't stop wondering if this could have been prevented and a warning went unheeded. I have an uncle who lives west of the Dallas/Ft. Worth area and he confirmed the news reports of people actually hearing a loud blast overhead at the time the shuttle broke apart as it passed over the area. Many people had been outside watching because it had been announced ahead of time that the shuttle would fly over en route to landing in Florida, which is why we've ended up with the video of the breakup and debris trailing away. Despite my knowlege of the technical details of the shuttle, part of me was hoping that somehow the crew had been able to bail out. No one could have survived the breakup though. Makes me wonder just why the hell the shuttle was *never* designed with a proper escape system. Erriest thing shown has to be the intact mission emblem patch found in a field. And the astronauts who died yesterday had paid tribute to the crews of Apollo 1 and Challenger during the flight- the anniversaries of those disasters were Jan. 27 and 28th. Apollo 1, Soyuz 1, Soyuz 11, Challenger, and now Columbia. A fitting tribute would to let this steel our resolve and press on into space, into the future. I for one would, without a millisecond of hesitation, take a seat on the next flight. check out these links: http://astronautix.com/articles/iftndies.htm http://astronautix.com/articles/higlight.htm http://astronautix.com/articles/staation.htm welcome back john k- still in Houston?

Well, in the summer after high school and the months that followed I smoked way too much pot. I always justified it as it was easier than alcohol to get wasted (takes less time) and it's not like pot has as many chemicals as cigarettes which are really disgusting except for cloves. plus, i've never smoked a cigarette in my life except for a clove. So I did smoked pot for like, a year and then hadn't done it again. until october. i smoked a LOT last term and have kept doing this term. it didn't help that my dad gave me a couple of ounces last night when I took my roommates home for a visit. my roommate and i got stoned with my dad and my other roommate just watched tv in anger next to us. i always say "i should stop doing this" but i haven't. it's fun and i don't do it if i have a test the next day or a paper i haven't written yet. last week my roommate and i played sims when we were really high and it was GRRRREAT! I don't what to say about the shuttle that hasn't already been said or thought...I'm thinking about ATTEMPTING to write a poem about it with the names in italics from Challenger and Colombia. We'll see how that pans out... take care, Jessica Listen: We have done it again we are Still living. Sit up and smile, God bless you.

Anyways, I just fall more and more in love with her everytime I hear her. She is truly the most intelligent person I have ever heard or read or saw. When I say intelligence, I don't mean she's a brainiatic and an Einstine, I mean, she truly knows what life is about and...gosh, it's really hard to describe...That's just what Tori is though, she's indescribible. Like Cyndi signature says, when Tori was asked to describe herself in 5 words she said, "I Do Not Describe Myself" Anyways, I'm getting really excited for the show I'm going to in March!!!!!!!!!!!!! My brother has a friend that recorded the Milwaukee, Wisconsin December 1st, 2002 show that we were at and now I have a bootleg and I'm listening to it. It's so cool that I'm hearing the same night I was there. I get so mad when I hear that person arguing with Tori during "Hey Jupiter" (Dakota remix) at the show. That was so terrible and disrespectful. Current mood: Happy Current sounds/music: "Mr. Zebra" by Tori Amos live from the Milwaukee, Wisconsin December 1st, 2002 show, "Pancake" by Tori Amos live from the Milwaukee, Wisconsin December 1st, 2002 show Current place: Julie H.

When I heard about it I fully expected this rank gross dish that made liver sound appealing. What did I get? A really big slightly-spicy beef sausage. (4 inches thick) I've eaten -lots- grosser things. That people even consider food. Like McDonalds hamburgers for instance. Or badly made Steak & Kidney pie. (I've had -good- steak+kidney pie so I know the difference). Come to think of it just about any british isle dishes if made badly are pretty disgusting. Like oatmeal. Yummy if I make it but disgusting at a restaurant. Go figure. HINT: don't leave out the raisins *g* ah well.

The show is still at the Mizner Park Amphitheater and all current tickets will be honored. I am not sure why they moved the opening date one day forward, but you can see that they have at Ticketmaster.com <url: http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/0D00362DF1A3F287 >. This should not affect any other dates on the schedule. Thanks to Brandon and gabi for this information. It looks like Tori will definitely be playing a concert in Rapid City, SD on Wed, April 2, 2003! This is confirmed by the web site of Bravo Entertainment <url: http://www.bravobsp.com/index.cfm?Action=CalendarDetail&ThisEventID=247 >, who are promoting the Tori shows in Wisconsin, North Dakota and South Dakota. Thanks to Terry Helmts.
