Best Facebook group ever I've joined today.
Let's say "That's Republican" instead of "That's gay/retarded/stupid."
And the good part: the tag line.
Because you can't help it if you're gay, retarded, or stupid, but if you're a Republican, that's your own goddamn fault.


Sucked in some spit down the windpipe whilst walking on the treadmill this evening and I'm still v. uncomfortable in that "must cough and get it out" kind of way. Suckage.

Primary cohab is out at a frat party. For srs. Makes me laugh because though I was afraid she (and the other two) were going to be the type, primary is the least of the three that I would expect it from. But she admits that it's out of character and she's really just going for the experience. Which I admit I probably would do too, if just to be able to say that I went to a frat party within a week of starting school, LOL.

Got the schedule switched. I'm freaking psyched up for this Classical Mythology class. How cool is that? It ruins my T/Th system of 8-9:15 am class, 9:30-10:45 am class, go to gym, go to lunch, 1pm class, on Thursdays 2-4 pm lab, go home. Which is not nice, as now gym can't happen (lunch still can, but it's only a 45 minute free block and not worth the bike trip + locking the bike + two flights of stairs + swiping the card + fighting for one of the few treadmills for only half a workout) but I'll put up with it for fabtastic mythology goodness.

Speaking of 8am T/Th class, almost was significantly late for that today. Woke up in the middle of the night because I had to pee, and then ended up checking my email and being up for a good 45 minutes or so, which though seeming quite small a duration was evidently enough to set me off sleep-wise, because I didn't wake up until 7:45 when somebody's alarm went off. Hooray for the bike, tis all I can say. I totally would have been right on time if I didn't have to lock the thing up, but as it was, I was only a minute or two late. Ace for that. Considering it's not an inconsiderable ride, plus I had to get dressed and find my shoes and grab my helmet and wheel the bike out of my room down 8 floors in the elevator first, I'm quite impressed.

Re: Vice Presidents.

I think I like Biden more than Obama. In fact, voting record-wise, I'm sure I do. I was sort of *waggles hand* "eh" about Obama--I wouldn't have voted for McCain, but Obama's inexperience didn't fire me up. Biden does. VAWA was one of my huge things in Amnesty. Plus, he votes for the partial birth abortion ban (with the standard rape/incest/health exceptions) but to preserve other abortion rights, which is a position I share.

And McCain was damn smart picking a young woman to be VP. Damn smart. I was talking with Chelsea about how, should McCain be elected and especially should he be re-elected for 8 years, chances are good that he'll die in office. That sounds either morbid or creepifying, but statistically, looking at his age, it's true. And then we'd have a woman in office, which would be amazing. Of course, (and I haven't looked her record up yet, but I'm assuming by party affiliation) she'll probably manage to set back feminism by leaps and bounds though her facist politics, but still.

bleakone's gone back home, which sucks, because we're fandom swapping, and the gaytastic Enterprise episode "Shuttlepod One" is on right now. In the midst of a whole marathon of viewers' choice episodes. And on that note, here's a letter.

Dear viewers who voted for these episodes,
What the crap? The 4pm episode was "These are the Voyages. . . "? Which of you morons voted for that one? That was the single worst finale episode of any Star Trek series ever. Including TOS, which didn't even get a finale! *shakes head* But good choice with "Shuttlepod One". I approve.

Because Friday, August 29th at 11pm is a great time for fireworks. WTF?

Edit: And only 3 minutes of them too. I'm really curious as to what they were for.
