Ok, who remembers why I opened an Amazon.com tab? Because I don't...
To check on if I can buy a season pass to the upcoming season of Survivor?
To pre-order The Avengers?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
See, I kinda think that the Republican Party, or at least the Tea Party faction gains strength because it is marketed as faux underdog, with government as "the Man"

faux underdog
Just like "common folks" really felt they could relate to Dubya. You know, with his wealthy East-Coast elite family and Ivy League education.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Grocery shopping today. Later we go to Gary's mom's place for dinner.

It depends on how "other" you can paint the underdog. Then you can turn it into "Us vs. Them", because They hate our way of life and Want To Destroy Us.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Sunday morning, 7 AM. Why I am awake?
Because someone banged on our door and rang the doorbell repeatedly. It took a while to wake me up (because I was ASLEEP), so by the time I decided to go see what the hell was going on, it had stopped.
I opened the door and could hear two people talking, not enough to make out the whole conversation, but the woman, who I assume was one of my neighbors, was saying "Uh-huh" and "Okay" in a friendly way, but clearly just being friendly and placating the guy.
Nothing seemed to be on fire and no one was screaming, so I tried to go back to bed. Fat chance.
Let's hope I didn't just ignore a warning of the zombie apocalypse.

No apparent zombie apocalypse here, Dana, and it's three hours later!
I was awoken at 7 by my cat puking on the bed, but successfully went back to sleep. (I didn't realize it was actually on the bed until I woke up.)

I hadn't thought of it like that -- interesting.
