Just got email from the sister telling me a friend of hers was moving to relative safety...in Darfur.
Dude!
I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG you guys. I'm "working from home" this morning, because of a meeting this afternoon. So I got home late last night, and didn't set my alarm, figuring I'd wake up at 8. I actually woke up at 5:45, was awake for a little while.... and went back to sleep til 9:50! Holy fucksticks. Luckily, I have already done the one work-related thing I was supposed to do, but I'd better get in the shower now! I blame The Sick.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I decided last night to give up politics until Lent. (IOW, if there's still a race after Super-Duper-Mega Tuesday, I'll get involved in it, which makes sense, since our caucus is that Saturday.)
It's not that I'm going to ignore the news or stop listening to NPR or unsubscribe to this thread, but I'm not going to get involved in discussions, and I'm going to give up reading DailyKos and other political blogs, obsessively checking the Guardian's Election 2008 site, and the like. I got way too elated by Iowa and crushed by NH, and I need to step back and get some perspective, restore my cynical shell, and maybe even accept that my aversion to the whole idea of Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton has a lot to do with my own issues, so I need to therefore accept that not everyone is going to share my reaction to it.
So. Y'all see me talking politics again before Feb. 6, feel free to remind me I said I wasn't gonna.

I'm sorry. I'm drinking coffee as fast as I can, but fine motor control is right out, and I am whimpering out loud every time a complicated e-mail hits my inbox.I'm also drinking coffee as fast as I can. In twenty minutes, I have to give a lecture on Ancient Greece, Homer, and the creation of the Iliad and Odyssey. Oy.

I'm just so sick of hearing about voters and who is doing well and why. I don't care. Compare their plans, records or whatever, just shut up about strategy.
I'm going to start playing campaign coverage bingo. I'll cover the boards with words like "Irrelevant" "Finish" "Polls" When I get 5 in a row, I shoot myself.
Oh my god! Just now on NPR-
Diane: I think voters may be afraid that they don't really know what these candidates stand for.
THEN FUCKING TELL US!

I find that idea pretty disturbing too, if Clinton wins then that will be a minimum of 24 years with the same two families running the country.
