To be continued…
The funny thing is, I never would have turned around for whistling (who is arrogant enough to assume whistling is for them!?) except I was walking over by our sister company, which has many people that know me and don’t see me very often and so I figured it was one of them trying to get my attention. But no…of course not. Stay tuned…
I didn’t really throw them all out – it’s just symbolic. I did throw out a couple that I never want to see again and that I didn’t feel were worthy of donation. I put a few in the back of my closet and held a few for donation at a later date. Thank the gods – I hated my summer shirts this past year. Some years I find good stuff and I can muddle through, and other years (this one) it’s just unbearable from the very first day. Yuck.
Did you guys watch the debate last night? I thought Obama did great. Of course we’ve established I’m pretty biased at this point. The thing that really shocks me about all of this is how much I have ended up hating McCain. McCain was actually an interesting guy to me eight+ years ago, but now, he’s just so full of lies that I can’t even look at him. He seems like a petty, smug, arrogant ignorant jerk most of the time, and that “smile” he’s got going on? The one that is supposed to look like he’s a “really nice guy” makes me just cringe. He looks like he’s gritting his teeth through the smile and thinking “I’m going to kill every single one of you for making me do this” the whole time.
Obama looked relaxed and confident and well, just presidential quite frankly. He also did a better job of answering the actual questions (I mean neither of them get A+’s in that) but Obama certainly did a better job than McCain – I don’t think I heard more than one actual plan from McCain – does he have any plans or is he just hoping to rest on his previous (not so great by the way) voting record if he gets elected? Cause I’m pretty sure that won’t work.
Also – was anyone else totally thrown by McCain referring to Obama as “that one”. I’m sure it was just a slip up (he IS super old) but that had serious racist undertones if you ask me. He has a name and a title – it’s SENATOR Barak Obama.
The CNN polls last night about the debate, heavily favored Obama, which is awesome, but now I come in today to read all the hate and bile on the internet (mostly from moron commenters) and I feel bad about everything again…I just have to learn to stop reading the comments. Not mine of course…but those anonymous racist haters out there that try to spread their poison anywhere they can on various blogs politcal and otherwise – the terrible bile I was seeing today was on a freaking E! entertainment post about the debate – I guess I can rest easy that someone who is getting their political news from E! is probably not smart enough get to the voting booth anyway…
Also, I’m sure everyone knows this already, but if you have any doubt about any of the facts that are getting thrown around go to www.factcheck.org to check out the ACTUAL facts. It’s a non-partisan site and you’ll find just as many Obama and Obama camp errors as McCain and McCain camp errors. To my mind the Obama errors, though they obviously exist, are generally more innocent and less slimy – but it’s a great site regardless of who you’re voting for, it really helps clear up some of the lies and misinformation.
Apologies in advance to Paul – who hates the word ‘fall’ and is desperately in favor of using ‘autumn’. Autumn is nice, but it’s just not the word I grew up with…and thus not the word I associate with my beloved ‘fall’.
It seems silly to be annoyed with the real problems of the world because it is partially keeping me from enjoying a simple thing like fall…but it only comes once a year…how many do I really have left to enjoy in my life? Surprisingly few really…
Wow. Now I’m super depressed. Congratulations Kelly.
Yes, apparently I am in the minority to have been paying my fair share (or more) over the years. And in Adam’s defense it has always been that way with me. I don’t know why. I could certainly probably get used to someone paying my way…actually that might make me totally uncomfortable. Nevermind.
I didn’t mean to end the week on such a sad little strip…but that’s just the way it worked out. Maybe it was unconscious considering my mood lately.
Did you all watch the VP Debate last night? Biden was amazing. And while the Katie Couric Palin didn’t show up, the one that does know how to find a coherant sentence (mostly) but that still speaks in folksy generalities and never answers an actual question showed up and fooled a good percentage of Americans (again) with her “straight talk”. Let’s be clear – it’s NOT STRAIGHT TALK…they have NO ANSWERS…NO PLAN…it’s a horrible train (bridge?) to nowhere!
According to polls though Biden won the debate (duh) and Obama Biden are still ahead, so I remain hopefully optimistic while the world crumbles around us…
And on that note, Happy Friday everyone, have a great weekend…
Yeah. Disappointing. And now he’ll probably never let me do it again (of course I’ll forget it wasn’t very fun and totally become obsessed with the idea again). I think it’s more about being extravagant and waited on and pampered than anything else – there’s something about being able to see movies still in theaters while in a giant king-sized bed hotel room and having someone bring me a sandwich and a milkshake that just really makes me feel happy inside. But it was a let down, I’ll try to hold on to that part of the equation so that it doesn’t happen again…
It’s sad but true. Adam and I both sometimes like to sleep on our stomach with a knee cocked out from our body, which we cannot both do in a queen size bed, not unless we want to bang knees painfully…but in a KING size bed, anything is possible! Don’t get me wrong, I love a good cuddle, but when it’s time to sleep, I want to believe I’m in that bed alone*…which is only possible in a king sized bed.
*Unless of course I have a nightmare, and then I don’t want to be alone anymore…I know, I know, you can’t have it both ways…except you CAN when you have a KING sized bed. Can anyone guess what I want for Christmas? 
Apparently some of you are woefully uneducated when it comes to Vampirella…let me educate you. Above is an awesome sketch of Vampirella by the legendary Bruce Timm. Below is a totally different less cartoon-y (and more like she is usually handled in the comics) version of Vampirella by the brilliant Adam Hughes.
And here’s a link to Vampirella on wikipedia so you can read all about the strangeness that is the creation of this totally slutty looking “heroine” (anti-heroine?) known as Vampirella.
Why don’t you, my valued readers, know about these things?! I know how much you appreciate me for bringing you this vital knowledge that surely you could not have gotten through another day without…no thanks are necessary…
For more fun, here’s some other great Adam Hughes superhero-ish art. The X-men, or rather X-women (my girl Rogue on the left there)…
And a great one of Catwoman
And I don’t even read Powergirl or know much about her except that her costume is stupid considering her physique and that they did a fun Project:Rooftop on her, but this image by Hughes is fantastic.
Yeah, I’m still having trouble concentrating…anyone else?
Yeah, despite my purge, I’m still here in politics land…it’s going to be hard to exit considering the debates are just getting started. Did everyone see the debate on Friday? My man Obama did beautifully, as expected. And McCain acted like a sulky petulant child, rude and arrogant and easily ruffled, and best yet, unable to even look Obama in the eye. This bodes well for the future…I’m cautiously optimistic. Nobody is going to miss Thursday’s VP Debate right? Talk about ‘must freaking see tv’ – the TIVO is already programmed.
