My nails are being bitten to the nubs. Please, please, please, please let's elect John Kerry!! I can't even fathom these weird southern & mid states that are voting for Bush. I can't believe people actually allow their personal discriminations to determine a Republican vote (i.e. curbing abortion and gay rights), since GWB is clearly not ( Read more... )

The Curse of the Bambino is over! Yeah Red Sox! Although I know some people (besides Cardinals and Yankees fans) are sad to see the curse last less than 100 years because it could mean that there was no curse at all, just a string of bad luck ( Read more... )

Although I can't believe it's happening so fast, I'm driving back to Washington with Joe tomorrow! It's not a permenant move home but more of a "going home early for the holidays." Our sublease ends this weekend and Joe wants to move back to Seattle so we're driving back with boxes of stuff (leaving all the furniture though). After the first of the ( Read more... )

So, on short notice, my aunt and cousin come to visit/crash for the weekend with a colleague and her son. Two middle aged moms, two middle school kids. I'm excited to see my cousin and aunt but the apartment was definitely going to be at maximum capacity. It's simply not meant to house six people ( Read more... )

I'm in such a miserable state. I delude myself by pretending that I have a truly original voice that's just dying to get out, yet my brain just thinks too fast for the brilliant, enlightening words to actually make it out onto paper (or keyboard ( Read more... )

Even though I crawled into bed an hour ago, I am nowhere near sleep. I'm not even close to drowsy. Too many thoughts crashing around inside my head, thrusting themselves to the forefront of my brain as I'm trying to lull myself to sleep by starting a dream. Have you ever tried that? My mother told me a long time ago to start imagining a dream when ( Read more... )

The parents were in town last week. It was a lot of fun to have them around; we did the Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island trip, walked the Brooklyn Bridge, saw I heart Huckabees, ate at Frank, ate in Chinatown, ate in Little Italy and walked a ton. I also took them to Magnolia Bakery, which was a big hit, and showed them Farenheit 9/11 (which they ( Read more... )

BTW, I'm lj-y challenged and don't know how to do that thing where you link your post and have to click on it. Seems to come in handy with long ass posting ( Read more... )

That's a relief. I thought the debate was going to be a close one. I thought Bush might "beat" Kerry as he "beat" Gore. I don't think he did beat Gore but all the pundits said so after the show was over and it seems that several undecided voters agreed ( Read more... )
