VIRGINIA
408 speeds up 460
no longer will you have to slow to 55. a relief to those headed to blacksburg, i’m sure.

at least the smoggiest in va.

HAMPTON ROADS
dismal swamp fighters down to 20
the fire is 90% contained and the hot spots “have diminshed in size.” pumping from lakes and streams have stopped, too. enough water was irrigated to “fill nearly 3,200 olympic-size pools.”
$4.3 million grant from fema
to be used to plan for hurricanes. what will it be used for? to study chesapeke and suffolk schools to be converted into shelters.
is that all the money can bring us? why does it seem like so much money is wasted on studying? the answers are usually what i figured before the study and i could have given it to them for a fraction of the price.
HAMPTON
teen center construction begins
and is planned to be completed in early 2009. the center will include a food court, meeting room, art center, tranquility garden, recording studio, wireless internet and a dance/concert area.
NEWPORT NEWS
what irritates me most about this
is when the people running the lights are causing me to have to wait longer and sometimes have to sit through another round of lights. as much as i’d like to pretend about safety, i can’t. i really just care about myself and my destination.
NORFOLK

PORTSMOUTH
senior alert

VIRGINIA BEACH
alertnow to be used in all beach schools
ten schools tried it out last year and it went well. you know what i always did to block school calls? sign up on my dial up internet. not so practical these days.

i finally put up an rss feeder that i like. and the first thing that caught my eye was photojojo’s photo bookmarks. it looked easy enough and i knew i had all i needed to make it, so i decided to try it.
futurama was in my head, so i picked leela and on i went.
i feel so naive.
how did i not know so much futurama sex photos existed? all i wanted was a bad ass photo of leela to make into a bookmark. and yes, it’s purple down there, too.
anyways, i finally settled on one and got to work, with a few alterations.
alterations made:
- instead of photo paper, i used card stock.
- i forgot to mirror the image and instead printed out the same exact one twice. it is totally fine.
- instead of taping down magnets, i had magnets with a sticky side. i knew collecting random art things would be handy.
the final product:
