Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

I'm in Missouri so I see tons of political ads albeit at 20x to 30x speed since I skip all of them.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Living in Ohio, the ads are non-stop. We don't watch much TV, so the only time I'm see the ads is at the gym, where there are TVs always on in the cardio machine area. And then because I haven't yet seen them, I always manage to attract attention to myself by snorting "Oh, PLEASE" during McCain ads, or saying "YEAH!" during Obama ads.

I shouldn't be allowed out among the humans.

“Not dead yet!”

That's it-- I've officially lost it. I just downloaded a-ha's Hunting High and Low.

I'm bopping in my chair to "Take on Me" and the dogs are looking at me funny.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I get my political tv fixes at the gym. It's my motivation and reward. I get to watch Olbermann, Sanchez, C-Span, etc. I find myself actually wanting to stay on the treadmill longer.

I'm such a political junkie at this point. I noticed my obsession growing through September and now I'm on full tweaker mode. It's going to be one hell of a come down off the ride in November.

I've begun to burn out. I just want the election to get here and stay up watching the results. I wonder how much burn out plays in the last weeks of the election. I'm not sure I even want to watch the last debate, is there anything new to hear? If there is, I can read about it afterwards.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

My husband and I have discovered up here that stores have seasons. Like, you can't buy a fan anymore. You can buy a heater. No fans until it stops being cold. At least, not at Target.

Sort of on the same topic, is it practical to freeze a whole peach? I am drinking a smoothie made out of chocolate soy milk and frozen peach slices, and it is OMG so yummy. Can I buy up the last of the season's peaches and have them live in my freezer for six months?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

What in the hell does ACORN have to do with Obama? They're talking about it like it's his organization.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

He used to be an organizer, didn't he???

Sure -- but I'd slice them first.

Always Anti-fascist!

Wrod. Here's hoping we don't get a McCain/Palin burn bag this time. Since we don't actually get to kill them if that happens, unlike most people who get burned that particular way. God, I'd love to see Matthews' face if I said that on the teevee. He'd shut up for ten seconds. Keith already fucks up my heart rate, though. Sometimes it's hard to be disabled and explain why election coverage makes you flush. I wish I could say it was the treadmill. Of course, democracy makes me happy. But I look weird if I love it more than a friend.

So, it's not so bad, 'cause it's a dry snow?

We're known for our dry snow, it's the famous-in-some-circles Utah powder. I won't guarantee you won't run into some rain/snow mix, AKA "wintery mix", but you won't need Huskies to get where you're going.
