CraftLass: Same Person, Different Rights
http://craftlass.blogspot.com/2009/10/same-person-different-rights.html
Friday, October 2, 2009. Same Person, Different Rights. I was just reading a post I'd missed on my new favorite blog, Are We Married? About the fight for equal parenting rights and it led me down a familiar mental path. See, I'm in a very long-term committed relationship with a man, but I have a few ex-girlfriends in my past and have been truly in love with a woman in my life. I'm also very sensitive about. Only one thought is scarier - pregnancy. Them: "So, are you two married? That's a long time! As lo...

CraftLass: Bake Sale for NASA
http://craftlass.blogspot.com/2009/10/bake-sale-for-nasa.html
Tuesday, October 6, 2009. Bake Sale for NASA. In general, and posts and tweets by SpaceTweeps as my inspiration. Who am I kidding? The song popped into my head and pretty much wrote itself while I was reading those things and watching the Augustine hearings more than the other way around. Okay, here goes:. Bake Sale for NASA. We sent men to the moon because of some lines. In a speech that inspires to this day. We learn more about Earth from orbit. Than we can in any other way. Why we need these adventure...

CraftLass: The Trouble with the New American Dream
http://craftlass.blogspot.com/2009/10/trouble-with-new-american-dream.html
Wednesday, October 7, 2009. The Trouble with the New American Dream. I love business. I enjoyed being part of the actual business part of the music business (most of my frustrations came from how little of that business has to do with work, talent, or brains. It's pure luck and the odds are far worse than Vegas). Making deals is a thrill and I even enjoy it as a spectator sport, particularly watching small businesses take off. However, what has happened to American business? To lure in and keep customers...

CraftLass: Operation Scholar-Without-College
http://craftlass.blogspot.com/2009/10/operation-scholar-without-college.html
Thursday, October 1, 2009. Humiliation and mental oppression by ignorant and selfish teachers wreak havoc in the youthful mind that can never be undone and often exert a baleful influence in later life." -Albert Einstein. Of course, now I have another factor (a very common one these days) of not being able to afford school. Even if I could get loans I do not want to do it that way. I've watched my friends struggle for decades under the weight of loans and college was a LOT cheaper when they went. Today I...

CraftLass: October 2009
http://craftlass.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 26, 2009. My Pan-Roasted Pork Chops and Apples. One of the greatest surprises in learning about myself was the discovery that I love cooking. I'd cooked a little bit out of necessity before but found a serious passion for it a little over five years ago. I've always been a foodie (well before I'd ever heard that term) but used to be very proud of avoiding all domestic arts. Then I grew up and faced reality. Ingredients (scaled to serve 2):. 1/2 yellow onion, diced roughly. Give the apple/...

CraftLass: September 2009
http://craftlass.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 29, 2009. Welcome to the Only State More Corrupt than Louisiana! Now, Go Vote! How do you choose who to vote for when there aren't any viable options? Either way, I have ended up with a huge dilemma. I'm very (theoretically) excited to vote at last in the state I grew up in and left before I was old enough to register but I have no one to vote for. As you know if you've read my post on The World's Smallest Political Quiz. Of several-to-many evils than the lesser. Vote for my party's ca...

CraftLass: The Worst Question You Can Ask Me
http://craftlass.blogspot.com/2009/10/worst-question-you-can-ask-me.html
Tuesday, October 13, 2009. The Worst Question You Can Ask Me. Since I've started playing music and talking about it again I've been getting asked the same question quite a bit, "What are your musical influences? Yes Do I play music like theirs? Not really. If you like the Dead will you like my music? If you tend to listen to just one genre, please go get something else and expand your mind, whether you play or write or just enjoy listening.

CraftLass: Marriage, Timing, and a Dose of Reality
http://craftlass.blogspot.com/2009/10/while-im-on-subject-of-marriage-can-i.html
Saturday, October 3, 2009. Marriage, Timing, and a Dose of Reality. While I'm on the subject of marriage, can I rant about my other pet peeve that pertains to it? Oh, yeah, this is my own blog and I can write what I want, no matter how unpopular it may make me. I don't do this to get fans but to air out my brain, which is why I try to stay anonymous here. Okay, to the topic at hand now:. A few seasons ago (the " Atlantic City. So, here's my question for the world, why elope? An old acquaintance once told...

CraftLass: I <3 #SpaceTweeps
http://craftlass.blogspot.com/2009/10/i-3-spacetweeps.html
Friday, October 9, 2009. There are many wonderful things about Twitter. That have surprised me. I was highly reluctant to join for a long time, with my friend @souphead constantly nudging me (in a very nice way) to try it out. The moment I got on there, though, I started finding NASA's official twitterers, which soon led me to "meeting" some SpaceTweeps. I haven't had so much fun staying up all night in a long time! None of it would have happened without Twitter or the Space Tweep Society. If I learned a...
