it's been a busy month

I have not posted in a while, but a lot has happened that I should have mentioned here if I had the time.

Here's a quick rundown:
most important is the news that all charges against Steve Kurtz have been dropped. If you don't know about his case, check out the the Critical Art Ensemble Defense Fund site.

I spent a week in Barcelona (I'll post more about this soon). I was honored to be invited to the Krax Jornadas, a conference of urban activist/cultural centers and projects. The organizers should really be proud of what they put together, it was a very powerful week.

Jenna and I are looking at getting a new cat (cats?), it's been a bit over 4 months since Partners-the-Cat died and I'm just about ready. A friend's sister recently took in a pregnant cat, here are some photos of the kittens. The first photo is (I think) the two kittens we get to decide between. Even though I'm partial to male cats, that grey tabby girl sure is cute!

and I just read this on the AP wire: A teen accused of plotting to blow up his high school told police that he wanted to die, go to heaven and kill Jesus, federal authorities said Tuesday.
While I give the kid a lot of credit for creativity, I can't help but wonder if he did not plan the second part all that clearly.

Heaven

You think his planning fell down on the hard to get to heaven after mass murder and suicide end or the Jesus is already dead end?

well...

both. he's also making a serious gamble on the existence of heaven not to mention the question of how he's going to get a weapon past the guards.

Maybe once you get there you

Maybe once you get there you don't need a weapon? I mean, he could be planning to strangle Jesus.
