It's your reputation! Why would you not want to look good?

Not to mention that my beta readers know me well enough that they can say "Look, I know what you meant to say here, but you left out about half of the words you need."

I've unsubscribed from all my political blogs.

I am about to go to Kitten Down A Well news alert status. KDAW = no news for me unless it's about adorable kittens (or puppies or bats) who are rescued unharmed from something. The rest of the news is overwhelmingly depressing.

ok, mac's costume is done. now need to go get my foam board. I can't do my make-up until after I get him from school and he plays with his friend, so I guess I'll have from 4-5 to get ready. I should probably get partially dressed now.

I'm just tired of being outraged all the time.

I hit that point a while ago, and feel kind of bad about it, but mostly not.

It's hard to tell its a robot until it starts to speak (as its lips don't quite move realistically).

Nice to know we can still depend on Japan for freaky uncanny-valley-ish robots.

I'm going to vote next week, but beyond that I'm going to try to make my life in 2011 as politics-free as possible. I'm just tired of being outraged all the time.

This is what I decided, too. I can't take it. I'm angry, and I am ineffectual, and people take just about anything to pick apart arguments as me being elitist and trying to prove I am smarter than they are, which is apparantly what liberals to and why they are against them.

But dudes... you don't even know the definitions of "liberal", "conservative" or "socialist" apparently. Let alone "marriage" or "sex". I recently read a letter to the editor which protested our paper's endorsement of NYS democrats (even though they suck) because of the gay marriage issue (it is an independent paper) because everyone knows that the definition of "sex" is "same", and same sex marriage therefore is an oxymoron, and cannot be. But they don't mind gay marital type relations as long as they are not "flaunted in my face."

After that I just wanted to say "Well, you are an oxymoron!"

I voted last week. Now I'm going to (metaphorically) curl up into a little ball of political obliviousness until next Tuesday evening.

I get my news from the Daily Show and Wait Wait, and sometimes even that is too much.

I get my news ... from you guys. I like it that way.

Sara's Hello Kitty costume is almost done, and I just need to get loafers from my mom for my costume. Yay.

That's pretty amazing. It's crossing over from Uncanny Valley to just plain lifelike. Except for the talking.

Apparently, i'm a glutton for punishment. Or maybe just a smartassed pawn. "Once you in it, you in it." Besides, like Allison in the Breakfast Club, I don't have anything better to do. Unlike her, my dandruff cleared up.
