1.  "Nuclear" is pronounced just as it's spelled
2. Maverick (repeat 8,000 times)
3. I wish Biden hadn't made that "Ultimate Bridge to Nowhere" crack.  I have a feeling that prevented Palin from mentioning the actual Bridge to Nowhere, though I haven't heard her say that for a little while.  So maybe not.

Today started with going to see Barack Obama downtown.  We left the dorm at about 10:20 and parked in the Davie St. deck to find that there was a line stretching from the Gaylon Depot (where the rally was) all the way past Center Pointe park (6-7 blocks away).  So obviously we weren't going to be anywhere near the stage, but at least we didn't have ( Read more... )

I don't know if I want to change my voter registration to Greensboro or not.  On the one hand it would be easier if I could just vote on election day here, on the other hand I want to vote for Harry Taylor.

WHAT TO DO?

I've told a bunch of people this already, but I'm going to put it here anyway.

Last night Mikey and I decided to ride over to Ben's house to hang out for a while.  On the way there, as we rode down Spring Garden, this small red car drove past us.  As it did, the guy who was presumably in the passenger seat yelled at us the following bold statement:

So earlier tonight on the way to my radio show, I was riding my bike, standing on the pedals, when the left one broke off as I was pushing it down. I'll just say I was glad to be wearing a helmet, which I'll be wearing more often from now on. One guy saw me and came over to see if I was alright. You guys in the theatre department might be amused ( Read more... )

I missed out on Ben Folds Five tickets, which sucks because Reinhold Messner is an awesome album, a fact which I had forgotten until I listened to it again.  I also forgot that the first half of it is really depressing.

For some reason what I'm typing doesn't seem like it's something I would write.

From the RNC Video on Reagan:

ANNOUNCER:  ...But Reagan never forgot who he was.

ME: Well....

So I've been thinking about McCain's running mate all day, and I JUST NOW realized how badly Biden is going to school her in the VP debate.  It is going to be painful to watch.  I mean, DAMN.

I was just watching MSNBC, and Brian Williams asked Keith Olbermann if he'd "been on the interwebs lately".

EDIT:  I don't mean to come off as annoyed by this.  I thought it was hilarious.  Brian Williams is the funniest man in network news.

Back in June I mentioned needing a new power supply for my aging Vaio, and last week it finally died.  Luckily, the Best Buy service plan that I thought ended last August actually ended the day after the power supply died, so I managed to get that all worked out for free.  Also, apparently the extreme dust inside the case was clogging the processor ( Read more... )
