Little library, why is your flourescent lightings so bright? Little internet, why must you be so distracting? Little tea, why do I drink you, highly caffienated as you are, on an empty stomache? *twitch* *twitch* Deep fried pickles will make it all better. Yesss precioussss!

The planets have aligned and the Red Sox may win the world series. It's nice to really get behind something given the general apathy towards other more meaningful contests (the presidency?) Anywho, I spent a few minutes this afternoon with rampantpenguin's newest addition to the menagerie and there's something very soothing about a creature that could care less how everything turns out on November 2nd as long as the kibbles keep showing up. Purrrrrrrrr. Back to Mill, Millskowitz, Millorama, Millificent (she was scary.)

Hua Mei, born when I was a freshman in college at the San Diego Zoo, now has two cubs of her own. They were born in China, where she now resides. Aw crap, they are so darn adorable. Apparently my excessively cerebral upbringing was not enough to prevent a fundamental attraction to small black, white and fuzzy things.

This is the origin of the infamous Panda Toast, for those of you who have wondered.

Harry Potter:: Which House Calls You? - with pictures! (for girls)
brought to you by Quizilla


So now that we know I'm truly evil, I stood in a cold line for approximately 2.75 hours last night to see the only Tom Waits concert in the United States this year. Actually in the last few years. With a couple hundred people in front of me, and a hundred or so behind me, I was the lucky recipient of the last two tickets sold at Tower Records at the midnight pre-sale. I've many times been the individual right behind me, and am now suffering pangs of guilt, but apparently I shouldn't since I'm an evil wizard destined for a future in Lord Voldemort's legions. See y'all at the show suckas!

Current Mood: irritated
Current Music: Presidential Debate
I have a wee blog, which no one reads, but nevertheless, I feel compelled to do the post-debate entry. Because that is what a fledgling blogger does correct? So here's my take, Poland rocks! We have their support! The closest analogy I can think of is Computer Animated Movies having my support. I support their movies. I've seen a few of them, I've never worked for them, I've never set-up an endowment for up and coming artists. But sure, I liked finding Nemo. So yeah, they have my support. Which brings something up a whole new topic so I'm done with the debate because everything that could have been said has been.

Civics 101 needs to be taken all over again. People don't seem to have a sense of what powers the various components of government actually have. Lets take two examples shall we:

1. War on Terror. Congress has set up the budget for this, beyond that, their duties are over. We've launched an invasion and there it is. Speakers in the House of Representatives have little to no control over the direction of the campaign from here on out. Yet, George Nethercutt is running ads saying he supports "stopping terrorists, not excusing them." You're running for the House guy. Tell me what you think regarding balancing the budget. What initiatives will you support/oppose that will aid in the creation of better domestic policy.

2. Abortion. We don't vote for the Supreme Court members. The president appoints them, then the Congress approves them. A lot of steps to get there and our influence is far removed, if existant at all. So voting Republican in the election for say...Governor will do nothing to help you out if you believe in banning abortion. Same goes for all you out there who want to ban Capital Punishment.

I think the irritated hamster looks an awful lot like a zombie-hamster. Go see Shaun of the Dead!
Sheesh.

Apparently National Security has topped the economy as the biggest concern of the American people in the upcoming election. See Time magazine for last week. But National Security seems so vague. So, for the sake of those two ships, passing eternally beyond each other's reach or notice under the cover of darkness:

National Security: (noun) A state of being wherein a Nation is secure from attacks by anyone overwhelmed by hatred of all things American. Please note that National Security has little or nothing to do with national security. Eg, the security (small "s" of our children's future through improved education, does not fall under the rubrick of National Security. This is limited strictly to terrorist attacks. Specifically terrorists from middle-eastern countries. National Security is maintained by launching a war against an Idea.

Plato would love to know that people are finally taking the reality of forms seriously. Oh they're out there all right and can actually be engaged in combat.

There must be something other than the election. What's happening in Argentina right now? How's the war on AIDS? Are efforts to reduce unemployment actually working in major cities or are people no longer qualifying for unemployment due to the length of time since they last had a job? But these issues aren't new and are hardly news-worthy. No, empty campaign promises and slogans, that's important stuff. I'm driving everyone I know nuts with my bitching, but when was the last time any of the above items was covered on the morning news? Of course, that's our fault. They discuss whatever brings in listeners/viewers/increases circulation. Vicious vicious cycle. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Oh well, fun quizzes abound at:

The death test says I won't be around much longer so I should stop freaking out about all this crap.

I always wanted to be a Joyce novel.




You're Ulysses!

by James Joyce

Most people are convinced that you don't make any sense, but compared
to what else you could say, what you're saying now makes tons of sense. What people do
understand about you is your vulgarity, which has convinced people that you are at once
brilliant and repugnant. Meanwhile you are content to wander around aimlessly, taking in
the sights and sounds of the city. What you see is vast, almost limitless, and brings you
additional fame. When no one is looking, you dream of being a Greek folk hero.

Current Mood: frustrated
Current Music: Durufle: Requiem
I tend to forget politics living in the blissfully liberal, earth-conscious, gay-loving, welfare supporting land of Seattle. However, I saw a Jetta at the U. Village with a "W '04" sticker and remembered that there are people in this country who would deny marriage to people of the same gender, believe the president has the power to overturn Roe v. Wade, and a three-hundred dollar check from the government is worth losing out on services, roads, and rights. So here's my little tiny attempt at making a small difference.

Because voting for anyone, including President Bush, is better than voter apathy.

Current Mood: apathetic
Current Music: Concerto a due cori No.3 in F (Handle)
"Welcome" isn't very apathetic so I'm already a hypocrite. Ah well, c'est la view as the French students say. I'm actually hoping someone reading this will send something interesting to put on the blog. I will then publish it myself, take credit and become the next queen of the super-market best-seller racks. Bwahahahaha.

But Jerry Falwell is starting up a law school thus signaling the end of the separation of church and state. Now that's a mark of the beast. Time to get the burka dry-cleaned and ready to go. Sexy ankles are back!
