so forgive me, love, for the salt in your bed

I'm not dead! The campus network just sucks monkey balls!

So, having been deprived of the nets for far too long I've had to turn back to actually creating things myself. Original writing is such a strange thing. I really wish I knew if I was any good, but yet I don't because I have these sneaking suspicions that I'm not.

For some reason I feel utterly, utterly alone right now. And I don't want to pull myself out of it. I just want to crawl back into bed. And I could really happily not spend the next three hours talking about Galen and the circulatory system and his nice little baby-soul-things.

Damn, I'm pathetic.

Politics

So I missed the debate. Of course, this could have something to do with the fact that I am a cloistered college student with no tv and that I spent all night last night in class discussing whether Socrates is Plato or himself, and if we should punish people regardless of who the hell the philosophers are.

And you know what? I can't really bring myself to care. Because I know what happened. Bush was stupid. Kerry was uninspiring. In fact, the only reason I've got right now for paying attention to the electoral politics in any way is to give myself conversational ammunition, more ways to convert the Republicans, more ways to defend the Democratic candidate that even I don't like.

I'm voting for Kerry, becasue there's nothing else to do. I wouldn't vote for Bush if he was suddenly revealed to be a slasher poly swinger hippie, and Nader is, for the moment at least, too much of a lost cause for me to throw my vote like that. So it's Kerry. But I still don't like the guy. Kerry is like a vacuum, man. There's just not that much there.

So maybe I download the debates from NPR. But it's much more likely that I'll spend my evening getting drunk and talking about Socrates. At least he was smart.

Meme and GIP

Wasting time? What, me?

GIP, because my Trina Hyman love is mighty and eternal, although I have not the wondrous powers of Photoshop at the moment and will have to make a cooler one when I do.
