long day. tired. exhausted from little sleep. full moon FUHREAKS in all freaking day, including a guy that yelled at me, calling me stupid because i asked a SIMPLE question (he wanted to know how to use his printer without having a computer.... not one that had the little camera memory stick inputy thing, either, just.. a printer. by putting in a piece of paper. THAT'S IT. i told him i wasn't exactly SUUUUUURE how to work that, and he demanded to talk to someone else.), a lady in hot pink stretch pants that stole something, being chased down the parkinglot by Manager Tony yet again, and inumerable other mini stressful situations.
for those NOT living in the area and NOT having it shoved down your throat every 2 min, Mt. St. Helens, approximately 55 miles from my house, has now been upgraded to a 70% chance of an eruption in the next few days. i find this highly interesting.
watched the presidential debate. felt Kerry shirked the questions somewhat (why do you think bush is a liar? well... i feel he isn't being candid with the public. VOTE FOR ME! I'LL MAKE THINGS BETTER! VOTE FOR ME!), but otherwise was extremely calm, professional, and absofreakinglutely wonderful.
Bush, on the other hand, i felt seemed much like a rich, spoiled brat who was defending his sandbox. "well.. well.... YOU topsyturviertopsyturvey!!! YOU FORGOT POLAND! but the war... i sent the troops I SENT THEM! I AM THEIR LEADER! why? BECAUSE I'M PRESIDENT! THAT'S RIGHT! *poutpoutpoutpout* it's MY freaking playground, and you! you're trying to play with my ball! DAAAAD! *sniffle*" the split screen shots of his reactions to kerry's speaches were classic and wonderful. i giggled.
my favorite quote? "war is HARD. i KNOW it's hard! i read the casualty reports every day! i watch t.v.!"
O_O
hrm. veitnam vet.... a guy who knows war exists because he's watched M.A.S.H. a few times.
i'm sleepy and cranky. send me to bed.

Comments
interestingly enough, i had a few people that told me they though Bush beat down Kerry in that debate. i *almost* wish i'd seen it so i could give my own personal opinion, but i'm actually pretty glad i didn't because i might have given myself an anyeurism arguing over it with people.
the first and the third, though, i think kerry won, hands down. i mean, for pete's sake, bush was hissing (unless you really want to call that hideous sound of his a laugh) and DROOLING. and the whole litmus test thing. egads.
i had still been convinced that kerry won the second one, though, because of bush showing very little respect for the moderator or the people asking the questions.
that man is a pure dumbass... obviously!
i fervently hope that this evening will be better.
but that's giving the idiot the benefit of the doubt.
While you are probably not in immediate danger if an eruption occurs, you are close enough to the volcano for the air to become very nasty to breathe. Hopefully everything settles down up there.
mom swears that she smelled the volcano erupting yesterday, but i don't think so. the wind blew it away from us, not towards us, so i'm certain that whatever she smelled was something more from the ghetto.
but i didn't burst her bubble ;)
and i'm glad that you got as good of a chuckle out of that as i did!
Very similar to the way you use your VCR without your TV sir..
i LOVE that analogy, thank you :D i told it to all my coworkers (at least, the ones who would listen!)
Not to pop your bubble, but M.A.S.H. was set during the Korean war, but it was definately anti- 'nam.
the day i was born, it was the last day of winter, and iowa had the worst blizzard in YEEEARS.
I did like how Kerry made the comment about how Bush the first, did not get in too deep in Iraq, because he saw no viable way to get out later. But I do think Kerry is too vague on how he is going to do all these things.
plus, although he's a politician and you can never tell what they say vs. what will happen, at least he's showing he's PASSIONATE about changing things.
i came out being Pro-Kerry.
i was very impressed with his poise, passion, and professionalism. i love how instead of glaring or huffing at the opponent when bush gave his retort or said anything, he would calmly stand there, listen, and TOOK NOTES, then throwing everything back at bush his next turn.
beautiful.
Also: Loved when Kerry praised Chimpy's daughters, mentioned how they say some outrageous things, and Chimpy slips in with, "Well, I try to keep them on a leash," and Kerry says (paraphrasing) that he's not going to touch that.
Of course not. *cough*AbuGharaib*cough*
I dunno about Kerry shirking questions. I can only imagine being handed a "why do you think Bush a liar?" question and being tempted to incredulously blurt out, "Look at him. I mean, geez, look at him. Would you trust this man with a lemonade stand?!?" I thought he handled everything very statesmanlike.
i was also playing everquest with it playing in the background, so...
It's interesting, though, given that there has been some concern up here that Mt. Spurr might go off. Something must be going on on this side of the continent.
maybe we're set to all fall into the ocean ;)
But you're okay right? Since it's gone off twice now, at least?
they say that they're still expecting a massive blowout, but that it will just "shoot straight up and not harm anything."
um. aren't these the same scientists, who, even up until the day of the first eruption, swore up and down that she wouldn't blow at all?
pretty uneventful, if you ask me. i wish the local news would shut the hell up about it, unless there was anything NEW to tell. now they're all recapping CONSTANTLY the original blast in '80 and the tiny burp again in '86. egads.
