Hey, I quit twitter. And then realized it wasn't such a bad thing at all. Are you still toying with it? If so, please tell me your address. I looked you up. There are about a trillion people with some combination of your names.

I've been on a human rights/civil liberties jag lately. Maybe it's listening to BBC radio, which reports on Africa a lot more than the US, maybe its because they seem to be drying up here and there (here!) due to the economic mess. In SOME places that had in recent years been known for a miraculous building boom,construction has stopped as foreign investors have pulled out and it is illegal to mention this any longer in the press without facing huge fines and prison time.

I twittered for about a day then realized I didn't thikn anyone was interested in when I'm having my coffee--what with Facebook and this blog, I already have enough places to rant.

Only Booda could turn "Canada" into a gerund/present participle. In a past participle form, is it "Canaddid" and Canadidn't"?
