Matrix!!! Thank you - that was the image.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That was the image that almost caused me to accidentally kill myself. Not really, but when I was walking home over the bridge that goes over Rock Creek Park in DC, I totally thought for a second that I could just jump over it.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm sorry to hear the bad news, DJ. Here's to finding a new job soon.
Weekend plans currently include dance class, grading, and a movie play date to see HSM3.

Thrive to spite them
The local paper today had a letter where the author was talking about reactions to the election, including comments that Obama should be assassinated and "drug behind a truck."
And that's just typical of a certain mindset. Not just Southern (although I can say it is) but the whole extreme right thinking -- the violence towards anyone who thinks different. It's not enough forthem to say, you're wrong, I think that's crazy, but it always has to be, you're wrong and I want to maim/hurt/kill you.
I don't understand that thinking and I never will. And this is applied to anyone, Kathleen Parker got a taste of it when she changed her mind about Palin.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
Weekend: sleep, lesson plans, grading, read a book, catch up on some work, go see a show. I should go to the Homecoming dance tomorrow night. Since the evil principal asked, though, I don't feel like it. Maybe it will annoy him.

I'm on the BB so I can,t link, but did you see about the kids in Mississippi who were threatened with suspension for talking about Obama? It was the basketball coach and the bus driver, not the administration, and sounds like they're being dealt with, but still.

You know, I've insulated myself from a lot of the nastiness. I know it is out there, but...nope, can't go there.
