Earlier I hardcoded (as in not using the blog program) this as a notification that I'm soon to lose my URL:

Well the great and oh-so-efficient Comcast apparantly cannot migrate my web pages since they insist that I get a new username. This URL, therefore, will die on 9/9. If you have a hankering, you can always use the URL http://signifyingnothing.com which I will update to the new URL Communistcast provides me.

Charkes suggested that I should be making a stink out of this with other bloggers. I suppose I could, but ultimately it might be like the real-life moving; I can recycle (or, unfortunately throw away) so much of my junk and start afresh. I hate to think how much stuff of mine is now entombed with Lori Hacking. Well it has good company. OK, OK that was a macabre reference and I should be ashamed.

There is something nice in the idea of losing the URL. I have all the stuff that is on the web site tucked away, of course. The only thing I was really worried about were the entries that come from my bloggity doodle program, but I think they are safe. The signifyingnothing.com URL will remain, just not the one that most linkers use to get here. Meh.

Supposedly the current Comcast URL is going to disappear on the 9th. Since Comcast can't seem to figure out what is their asshole and what is their mouth, I guess the guy who's moving into the Heber (and yes they did rent it that quick, despite what the new jackass (aka landlord) said that it was not spotless (and what the hell do they expect anyway? Isn't that why you pay a cleaning deposit). Ah well, landlords are landlords and tenants are tenants, and I much prefer to be in the latter camp, apparently always abusing the poor poor motherfucker who gets to sit back and watch 5 years of rent roll in and bitch about having to clean a 12 foot high ceiling and repainting.

So enough of that, let's talk Shakespeare. The class I am teaching seems to be getting into it. They are an odd mix: a lot of smart Mormon girls and edgy coffee shop teen guys. Is that who Bill appeals to these days?

Of course that is an unfair way to characterize the whole class, but it is somewhat Shakespeherian.

Well that is good. I would hate to have you be disappointed like that. I would assume that it is a serious academic program. I don't think they would have as much respect as they do if they weren't.

The new place is great--suburbia all the way. [Just now a kid, maybe 8 or 9 knocked on the door with a survey about extraterrestrial life. Somehow I don't think that wouldn't have happened back on G street. Not that it was a bad area, of course, but it seems parents even that nice and trendy section of generally sleepy SLC wouldn't let their kids knock on complete strangers doors.]

I feel a bit out of place, but am adapting well. I will be voting for George Bush and buying a minivan next month.

Fuck that shit.

Cleaning has deprived me of any sense of humor. The Heber is looking much better, however. The new owner is not a jerk, but is raising rents egregiously.

Fuck it.
