Currently wondering if swallowing nicotine gum poses either a poison risk or possible greater lessening of WANT A CIGARETTE NOW PLS THX. #
There’s an unfair gap in red wine-drinking, where you launch from ‘I think I’ll have another’ straight to ‘Wow, that sound is so awesome.” #
On the bright side, the wine /has/ distracted me from wanting to go out and get a packet of cigarettes. So that’s pretty opposite normal. #
Oh! Four glasses of wine is where I start offering to do the “really dreadful” [English] accent. Good to know. #
S T A R V I N G. probably should have eaten something for dinner last night. #
I can’t decide if it’s a good thing or not that I can explain pretty much every reference made at http://thisfuckingelection.com/ #
Pondering the likely result of writing a letter to Nike bitching them out for the crappy product quality of Chucks since they bought ’em. #
Dear coworkers: When I find whichever one of you is copy-pasting hashes into /etc/passwd w/o pwconv, there will be a LARTing, oh yes. #
I HATE PRINTING AND PRINTERS AND PRINTER DEFINITIONS AND DRIVERS AND LIBRARIES AND PAPER AND EVERYTHING TO DO WITH PRINTING AT ALL EVER. #
@writchrd Simple. Nothing a Republican does is socialist, big-government-promoting, or anything at all like something hippie liberals do. #
YaST is such a steaming stinking reckless horrid broken pile of shit. DON’T RELOAD MY FIREWALL WHEN I OPEN THE PRINTER CONFIG! #
Stupid winter. Stupid time change. Stupid falling back. Stupid it being dark when I leave work in the evenings. #

things that have driven me crazy over the course of this endless campaign season

5. People who cannot tell the difference between similar but different words, such as ‘censure’ and ‘censor,’ and attack someone for doing the one when they are in fact recommending doing the other. ENGLISH, NOT SO HARD REALLY.
4. Discussion, in clichÃ©, of the application of lipstick to anything that does not normally apply lipstick to its lips.
3. Really, any other clichÃ©s too. We’ve had like 22 months now of these sayings and I’d really like them to stop now, please, thank you.
2. Closed-minded zealots (on any and all sides) whose idea of political discourse is the intellectual equivalent of putting your fingers in your ears and shouting “you’re mean!”
1. The fact that this campaign season has been completely frigging endless and now that it’s nearly over they’ll probably give us a couple days off and then start on the midterms.

Wow. Just, wow: http://tinyurl.com/4zemvw #
Sunday paper brings news of a new Michaels store opening, less than a mile from me. Suddenly I approve of the Canal St. shopping mess. #
[Insert standard offer of crash space to anyone coming in for Obamapalooza Tuesday here] #
@smokes70 Oh, let’s compile a list. “X the Y,” “you betcha,” “That’s [not] X you can believe in,” anything to do with polling numbers… #
Can I just note: LoM-US’s renaming of Sam’s mother from Ruth to Rose is both disconcerting and entirely unnecessary. #

while i, of course, plan to be at the rally in the park tuesday evening watching some guy make some speech, anyone who needs local crash space in the event of transit difficulties or whatever, let me know. i haven’t got much space and if there are, you know, mad riots and the power goes out we have to schlep up thirty stories, but at least i have beer once we get up there.

i am, in particular, looking quite forward to having ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TRAFFIC, which i expect to be the very dictionary definition of wretched.
