Gah. Somehow I knew I'd be up at 4:30am on Election Day. Pah.

But there is a bag of Hallyween candy (anniversary present!), so I am at least sugar-fueled.

The president's last minute desperation is amusing to me. I'm trying to be kind to those who are just now interpreting the truthiness and trying to escape the sucking moral vacuum that is the Republican party/neoconservative movement.

However, I'm worried that an overwhelming victory by the Dems will cause a free-for-all, like what happened with the 1994 Republican takeback of Congress. That seems to have turned out badly. photosinesis, you're killing me.

I took a "which candidate shares your values" quiz for governor, and, not surprisingly, none of the candidates was a clear winner. Still voting for Strickland. I feel vaguely dirty. :\

By the looks of things in the blogosphere, I missed awesome eps of TDS/TCR (due to aforementioned anniversary...celebrations). Pout.

I also want to watch Studio 60, but alas, I work Monday nights. Anyone willing to help me get started?

Sleep would be really fine right about now.

So, nothing new.

We lost our cable last night, which meant *gasp* no Internet, no TV. I thought Andy was going to go nuts, and I wasn't far behind.

I realized that I am so used to multi-tasking that I have lost the ability to sit and pay attention to any one thing for more than 5 minutes. Even reading - I typically read during commercial breaks or when I've gotten to the end of the internets. Or, if I'm out and about, I'm reading while I'm eating or reading while I wait for the bus. Never am I only doing just one thing.

That must be why I get so antsy at the movies - nothing else to do!

We actually went to bed early last night (about 10:45ish) because there was nothing to do. Is that lame or what?

I'm considering staying home from my spinning class tonight to watch TDS/TCR repeat, because I missed it last night. :( I heard TDS was very good, since I didn't watch it.

Lame, lame, lame. Also a literal definition, since I messed up my knee last week and now I have swelling under the kneecap. Good times.

How you all been?

The Tick is on Toon Disney! AIEEEEEE! The Tick vs. Pineapple Pokopo!

Lots of things going on with my friends list today!

Happy dance of joy for:
eibbil_libbie, who got a new job!
hermorrine, who is now insulin-free (I will try not to feel completely jealous about that)

Major hugs and loff to:
courtney_beth, who is having much stress
singtoangels, who needs the gods of car karma to shine down on her
nsmom

Why, oh why no new Daily Show or Colbert Report? :-(( I am missing 3/4 of my TV watching!

So, how are YOU doing?

Ack. Does anyone else hate movies made to glamourize certain institutions? My niece wants to go to Annapolis, so the movie trailer is annoying me muchly.

Friday Night Lights? Varsity Blues? Whateva. Drumline? Ok, suuure. Yargh.

Stephen + Conan = the awesome. Even better: remembering to turn the VCR to channel 3 to record TDS and TCR.

I've been watching MI-5. What is the appeal of Matthew McFadyen? He's a scrawny Clive Owen look-alike...but he's growing on me. :> I might break down and see the latest P&P movie.

As I am only 4 books into the year, and my recommended reading list is only that long. Rec me a book! A good one, mind. I don't read vampire/sci-fi/fantasy-type stuff, and I hate Nora Roberts. So, what else? Fiction, non-fiction...I'm game.

Night, all.

Ah, sirens. Must be Saturday night in the ghetto. Took 'em forever to turn those things off, too.

And, do you Florida people hear the theme from Jaws when you see this? You all just can't catch a break, can you? Move to Ohio! We have cheese, and lakes!

Am I the only one who is TOTALLY stoked that I Love The 80s 3D starts Monday? I have my 3D specs from Best Buy, even. *dorks out*

I am in love with Stephen Colbert, also.

This is freaking hilarious. Thanks, photosinensis, for the link. IDiots, beware.

Hot rec for you Snarry fans out there:  Paint It Black by tarie.  Ron's in there too.  Hot, wow.  Totally not kid/work safe; best read late at night when you can squirm around in your chair without rousing suspicion.  :>

Heck, head over to Diagon Alley and read all of Tarie's fics.  Then review, of course.

Went to Buca di Beppo for father's day...except my dad was a no-show.  I'm not really upset about it - if he doesn't want to spend time with his family, that's his perogative.  Me, I never miss an opportunity for a good meal!  :)  My BIL is a future father, so we met criteria (same thing happened on mother's day, but my sister wasn't showing at the time, and my mom is long dead).  Both times, the servers seemed relieved to deal with "regular" customers on two of the most horrible days to be in the service industry.

In other news, I've really gotten into the show Kept.  It's different from most reality TV because the "star" doesn't do much interacting with the glory-seekers.  No hot tub scenes, no skin, just a bunch of guys trying to get over on each other.  Ego-bashing & petty arguments v. funny.  I'm rooting for Austin or Anwar - they might not be the most handsome, but they certainly are the most mature of the bunch.  Now, I just need to remember to watch...

Damn Tom Cruise and his beard antics!  I really don't want to see War of the Worlds now, just so I don't have to look at his leering, Scientolgist face.  >:O

Tagging entries is addictive.  Tags are love.

AKA, the show that stole my soul.  I <3 VH1, man.  Emma Bunton has obviously had plastic surgery on her face and there is much less Mo Rocca this time around.  Boo.

( Now, the high school meme )

The rant meme will be completed soon, promise.  Although invoking Britney Spears is just too easy.  :)

They are playing the video for the Lemonheads' remake of "Mrs. Robinson."

Evan Dando = the pretty.

I have been transported back to high school and all those emo crushes...bless you, VH1 Classics.
