I think McCain was horrified at Palin, too. I almost got the impression that he nearly threw the election.
A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I just got out of a webinar hosted by one of our vendors. They showed some sample screenshots of their product with fake users. Two of whom were Down, Neil and Dover, Ben. Really? Maybe they should have considered swapping those out before showing them to users who may not share their sense of humor. I found it kind of amusing, but I'm frequently 12.

I kinda feel bad for Palin too. She really got defined by "I can see Russia from my house", which, of course, she didn't actually say. That and I'm pretty sure she isn't well. Her speeches get so incoherent I can't think there isn't something wrong there.
And Gore, Gore really got shafted by the media. He was defined by saying he invented the Internet, which, of course, he never actually said. Then there was that terrible scandal, the sigh.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Went out, got my tires filled and the car inspected, mailed some packages, and had lunch. And took out the trash and got the mail this morning. Now I'm exhausted and avoiding dealing with the not-quite-dead roach still in my bathroom.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
People behind me at work are talking about how Thomas Edison was the Steve Jobs of his day -- in that he stole other people's ideas and made a ton of money off them. Enjoyable!

I have had like 3 breakfasts and I'm still hungry. I would have thought Dana's record-breaking roach would have a little bit of an appetite suppressant effect, but apparently not.

Since I work for a company that makes software that lets you sketch out houses for insurance purposes, I've been sketching out my new apartment and figuring out which furniture I'm taking and where I'm putting it. It's the most fun part of what I do, playing with floorplans.

Yeah, sorry for the blathering, but this is the one thing I really cannot deal with. I'm going to have to ask my neighbor to deal with it.
