Wishing them the best!
I'm really tired of sinus pain. It's not like they are stuffed up or anything. There's just a spot in one that's panging and it is making me nuts.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.
'Time Bomb'
Natter 56: ...we need the writers.
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.

meara, that sucks!
I'm old enough to remember the Kennedy election! I was in 1st grade and convinced that Nixon was the father of a girl in my class with the same last name, but remember the excitement about the election. I think I went to the polls with my parents.
Worst voting experience - racing from work to vote for Carter/against Reagan before the polls closed, only to find out Carter conceded. It was kind of nice to find out why people were whispering at the polling place and why it was so deserted, but I'd prefer to have my vote, like, COUNT. It would be frustrating to live in Hawaii voting-wise, I'd think.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Hey Tom, other people have mentioned it, but you can and are doing it, and also, YOU ROCK.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh lord -- speaking of politics, someone I had just met asked me in a meeting yesterday if my generation really "got" what a big deal this election year is. (After some discussion of if kids today get it.) I'm not that young! As I pointed out, even little kids have seen a page of photos of past presidents and would have noticed they were all white men!

if my generation really "got" what a big deal this election year is.
see. my first reaction would be to say something ridiculous. or quote from Harold and Maude just to be spiteful.
Or... "I KNOW. American Idol is back and I'm so psyched."
Meanwhile, little do they know I'm making calls to their neighbors and doing poli-blogs.
which is why I feel misunderstood. I guess.

Now, on some level, I'm more consumed with how ridiculous it is that it's such a big deal! One Catholic president, one divorced president, one bachelor president -- that's the "diversity." I mean, seriously. It's the future! We should be doing better already!
Don't get me started on the leadership and boards of the Fortune 500.

I sort of want Fox to have to say over and over "the First xxx President".
HOWEVER. I also want everyone who watches Fox to understand that will not fix things and we will not go back to 'normal' after.
I am troublesome. and demanding.

The status is NOT quo.
Jessica, re: guy in meeting:
My eye-rolling, let me show you it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm so sorry meara, that sucks beyond sucks.
And GC, my condolences to you, your GF, and her family.
My first strong political memory is of watching the Nixon impeachment. Well, federal politics anyway.
