AP - Black smoke streamed from the Sistine Chapel's chimney Monday to signal that cardinals failed to select a new pope in their first round of voting, held just hours after they began their historic task: finding a leader capable of building on John Paul II's spiritual energy while keeping modern rifts from tearing deeper into the church.

If you are a filthy hippie, and the neighborhood association has required you to get a real address for your yurt or Vanagon or whatever, you might as well throw on one of these strange aluminum and resin 'spOre Bells,' just to spruce the place up a bit. The smushy buttons will entertain and the internal LEDs will dance and shimmer like a tiny rave every time a Division of Family Services officer comes by to pick up your children. spOre Bells run between $29 and $89 (food stamps not accepted).

White men bad; white dogs worse

White men bad; white dogs worse 04/05/2005 09:24 AM

We spent the weekend in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania with an anthropologist friend who has two 3-year-old bitches (Lab and Husky) and 4 acres of land on which Alex and Sammy could play with them.  One of the nice things about colleges located in areas where real estate is cheap is that the professors live close to the campus and are available to students for informal dinners and shared extracurricular activities.  Thus over the weekend we encountered a few other Gettysburg College professors.  I asked one of them whether faculty could bring their dogs to work.  She replied "The college's Affirmative Action lawyer, before she left, made up a lot of new rules.  One of them was that junior and senior faculty could not sleep together.  Another was to ban dogs in the buildings."

This is a good measure of how desperate PhDs are for jobs as college professors.  The college pays lower salaries, to people of the same age, as the public high school down the street.  The high school teachers were able to go to work at age 22 without suffering through a long period of starvation wages as graduate assistants.  The high school teachers are union members who ever have to worry about losing their job, compared to the college professors who live for 7 years in fear of being tossed out as a middle-aged has-been ("denied tenure" is the polite term for this event).  And now these poor souls are expected to get through their day without a dog at their side and without the possibility of an interlude with a more senior professor.

[Note to parents:  if you want to know why tuition prices have risen so fast, consider that a very small liberal arts school was paying a full-time lawyer to work on affirmative action; Walmart has a "Chief Diversity Officer" but they had $billions in revenue over which to spread the cost.]

Smoke Day

Smoke Day 06/17/2005 07:11 PM

I smoked today. Actually, I smoked just now with only 31 minutes left in the day. Not really a cigarrete even, more a mini-cigar that was sitting in a forgotten corner of the house until now. So horrible yet so comfortable. I've been on nicotine candy for the past three months and haven't been able to get off it. That's not really quitting, more like pausing. And I've been in an irritating state of mind for the past three months. Damn. I feel like a loser. The worst part of smoking these days is the guilt. I don't know if I am back to smoking or not yet. I am taking it one day at a time at this point. For now, allow me this pleasure of hating myself for this self-inflicted wound.

Darin and I stood in Old Town, on the corner of Delacy and Green. It was a magnificent night: eighty degrees, clear skies, the slightest breeze stirring the young leaves on the trees behind us.

The whole area was packed with people who were taking advantage of the unseasonably warm March evening: families and young couples crowded the sidewalks, as a nearly-full moon slowly climbed the Eastern sky.

"Hey, what are you doing tomorrow?" I said.

"Getting the tires changed on my Jeep." He said.

"Want to get together and have a cigar? I haven't had a cigar in months, and I'd like to take advantage of the warm weather."

Over at Jeneane's, every topic is colored by her non-smoking non-haze - the "the dissociative second-hand activity of smoking," as she says. Really interesting. (Disclosure: My mother died of lung cancer about 10 years. .) For some reason, I remember Sartre writing that the hard part of giving up smoking a pipe was the way its absence altered all of the activities he used to do while smoking. Now, I don't think you need a Nobel-award winning philosopher to point that out, but it does get at what must be the hardest thing about giving up the drug: There's something...
