happy birthday Brenda!
F2F I have convinced a few people that Obama is not a liberal -- and in the process I convinced them that all liberals ( 'cause I am one) are not dangerous. Don't think I could do it online.
I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

“Not dead yet!”
They just opened early voting in my district—I went, I participated in the ritual of democracy, even took the kids, so they could see how the process worked, and have my sticker. There and back in a half hour. WOOT!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Happy Birthday, brenda!! And all kinds of doggy~ma to Lucy.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Yay for all the early voters!
Good news about Lucy-dog, too.
I got a letter from my ex-employer that there is a discrepancy in the records of what I got paid -- a 2004 paycheck that doesn't seem to have been cashed.
Seriously? I AM enough of a ditz to have misfiled a paycheck, having done it several times that I can remember having found one tucked away in a 'safe' place, so yes, the likelihood is this is just exactly what happened.
I still have trouble believing this could happen NOW, when I'm leaving school and getting into Desperate Job Search Mode.

We have survived the Y halloween party. I really hate gyms full of unorganized yelling kids, but I found a corner to sit in.

Happy birthday, brenda! Continued dog~ma for Lucy.
...is either totally PoMo or just stupid.
I am in love with this phrase and will use it often regarding many subjects, I am sure.
Does that mean you get another paycheck, Theo? 'Cause that would be nice.

Yes, it would be one last paycheck, and a substantial one at that. ::chair-dances just a little::

Yay for the possibility of one more paycheck, Theo!!
My dad's half brother was the middle child in his family of 12 sibs--my grandmother (who was NOT Howard's mother) raised him with the rest of her children.
Whoah! Now that sounds like quite the story, Cash!! I can't imagine.
And four kids sleeping in one bed?? Dude. I have a hard time sharing a bed with one other person. And sometimes her cat. Or previously someone else and her dog. Three other people? Even if we were smaller people? eesh!

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
You know, Kal, it's weird how everybody thinks Obama is left of Lenin, when he's actually pretty centrist. He's probably closer to the middle than Hillary.
Right. But she's utterly convinced he's lying about what he plans to do once elected and that once he's in office he's going to start taking away civil liberties so quick it will make Cheney blush. She's thinks everyone is just completely brain-washed by Obama's charisma and ignoring the truth about him. Which is a view I constantly see championed by craxy right-wing zealots in article/blog comments, but it's scary to see it coming from an otherwise intelligent and politically liberal person I know well.

it also assumes that an amount of cooperation with two Congressional bodies that requires a lot of hand-waving for me to believe. People think the President has complete control and Congress is just so more important in the scheme of things.
Home from the party. I am attacking my mess of a room. I need to get Pandora up so I can have some tunes going. This is the one disadvantage of moving my harddrive and speakers to the living room.
