All I have to say is...
Yay, extra hour! I spent mine running around the neighborhood under cover of darkness, replacing Bush/Cheney yard signs with VOTE KERRY yard signs. Shhh...don't tell. How did you spend your extra hour?

Current mood: F*cking disgusted
Have you seen the video of GW's "one-fingered victory salute?"
I sincerely hope there's a camera around to get candid footage of Mr. Smug McSmarmy crying like a girl after he loses to John Kerry next week.

That's...um...hot
You know all those ads you see with the skankatorious Paris Hilton in a Vote or Die t-shirt? Turns out, she's not even registered to vote. Not in California. Not in New York. Not at all.
Maybe they should have read the shirt to her before she put it on? Not that she would have declined to whore herself out even if she knew what it said. Yack. I'm staying at the Marriott.

Who beefed?
You just have to see this movie.
I'm not spoiling anything by telling you that one of the funniest scenes (next to the Christian girl running a van into a 100-foot-tall Jesus), is when Jena Malone pranks Mandy Moore by hiding rotting steak in her locker and Tia (Heather Matarazzo) walks by, sniffs, and says, "Ewwww, who beefed?"

What makes you so happy?
You have to see these t-shirts, designed by my friend Michelle. Hi-LAR-ious. If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands!

Amaaaaayzing Graaaaayce...
Sing it with me now. And a moment of silence for the third little squirrel this year to reach his untimely death in my yard. I thought we were going to have to call animal control again (the last time they practically showed up with guns drawn and were sorely disappointed to find out the monster tree rats we called about were already d-e-a-d), but it just so happens that the lawn guy came today. Besides a good mow and some unnecessary leaf raking, he also took care of our little gray friend.
I hope Fluffy is happy in the Big Tree in the Sky.

Theys a-feared!
I don't usually talk local politics here (being a liberal in the south makes voting decisions easy), but I just couldn't keep my mouth shut about this one. Apparently, a staffer for ultra-conservative right-wing SC congressman Jim DeMint meant to forward an email she received from a GLBT rights group, but instead replied to the person who sent it. In the email, she referred to the sender as "this dike [sic]."
She has apparently been reprimanded, apologized (via email), but WAS NOT FIRED. There are so many things wrong with this picture I don't know where to start. First, she's stupid enough to reply to an email she meant to forward. Second, she spelled dyke wrong (if she's going to toss around homophobic slurs, she could at least learn to spell them). It's no surprise she wasn't fired, since DeMint is the same congressman who doesn't want gay people (or unmarried pregnant women) to teach in our public schools.
I might be biased, but do we need more confirmation that Republicans hate the gays? In my circles, we use the words "Republican," "Homophobe," and "Dumbass" interchangeably.

Poor Martha...
Years ago, I used to watch her TV show because she made me feel calm. There was something about her voice, the way she could throw together a five-course meal for a dinner party out of two eggs and some herbs from her garden, and her ability to create perfectly wrapped gifts with an old newspaper and some twigs and berries. I wanted to move in with her at Turkey Hill, in an entirely non-stalkerish way. I would take afternoon naps on her summer porch while listening to the birds sing, enjoy long walks in Westport, and wake up every morning to the smell of crisp bacon and butter scones.
I don't care if she's guilty or not. I respect that she wants to get her sentence out of the way and hope that her time in the big house isn't too awful.

In my dreams...
John Edwards always wears a g-string. I think the guys at JibJab (the ones who did the parody film "This Land") can read my mind. See for yourself at Atom Films.

Action-packed fun & excitement...
Since I usually spend my weekends making like a slug on the couch in various states of repose, I am happy to say that I accomplished a few things this weekend:
Dog-walked. Aleigh let me borrow one of hers (under supervision) and we trotted around the block a few times. It was fun, even though he kept sticking his head between my knees.
Learned how to bind off. I learned to knit a few months ago and have been holding a couple half-finished scarves waiting to finish what I started. Knitting was supposed to help me quit smoking, but instead I learned how to knit and smoke at the same time (don't ask).
Watched four more episodes of the second season of Alias. Technically, this counts as lazing in front of the television, but for some reason I feel as if I have achieved something.
Grocery shopped. Enough sugar free Jello, Campbell's tomato soup, and pouches of StarKist sweet & spicy tuna to last about two weeks.
Lame? Not if you know how hard it is for me to just get off my ass on a Saturday. I also washed a couple of loads of clothes, napped, combed the cat (that's not a euphemism for anything, I really just groomed my long haired Himalayan cat), started knitting another scarf, and started planning my sister's baby shower.
