Because it really is

all about me

I am a twentysomething Alaskan living in Fairbanks. We call the little icicles that stick to my poodle Bobby's fur when he plays outside Pupsickles, hence the name of the blog. This is my spot to blather.

Bad Haircut

What do you do if you get a really bad haircut? I've been going to the same woman for more than four years now and she's always done a spectacular job. But when I went in last Friday, she made an absolute mess of my hair. It is two different lengths, not even, and I hate it. I had to have my husband even up the front, because I just wasn't digging the jagged edged look.

Maybe I didn't give a very accurate description of what I wanted, but she knows the cut I like (I mean, she's always given it to me before) and this wasn't a departure from that routine. So, what do I do? Do I tell her I want a redo and hurt her feelings, or do I go and pay for someone else to fix the mistake?

Help! (I feel like I have a mullet!)

Blogger Problems

The reason that my blog hasn't been updated in nearly a week is that Blogger hijacked my blog. I only got control of it again today. In the meantime, I've been working on getting my snazzy new Wordpress blog up and running. Hooray!

Transparency?

Is Ted Stevens addicted to the limelight?

Today, Alaska's senior Senator Ted Stevens has admitted to being the so-called "Secret Senator" who placed a hold on Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (S. 2590).

After the whole internet-as-a-series-of-tubes fiasco, I'd have thought he'd keep his head down for a while. In case you somehow missed all the spoofs, here's the Wall Street Journal's take on Sen. Stevens' comments regarding net neutrality.

What I don't understand is why Stevens anonymously blocked the bill for weeks. Everyone in the nation knows about the now infamous "Bridge to Nowhere," and the pork that Stevens adds to bills for funding Alaskan projects is legendary, so why the secrecy?

Ah, the perfect irony. A secret block of a transparency bill. Thanks for all the pork, Uncle Ted.
