Friday Thoughts

1. Really must stop intentionally aggravating dates in order to "gauge their response." I went out with a very lovely and sincere teacher this week and as soon as I found out that he was the wrong kind of geek I turned on him like one of those crazy-ass raccoons. A conservative political geek. Oh my stars and garters- I may be a sci-fi, comic book, history, and science geek; but really, isn't a political geek only a few minor steps above a sports geek (unless you are Terry, in which case it is highly sexy). Especially if you are a sycophantic commentator TV show watcher. As he went on I decided to throw my NPR obsession in for shits and giggles. Oh well. I guess the Liberal Zionist Media Conspiracy claims yet another good American.

2. This Warren Jeffs guy better be sweating bullets. Child rapists have a special place in hell.

3. Very distressed about the Jon Benet Ramsey thing. I have always felt so miserable for her poor brother. Either the police cocked that up royally or those parents are guilty as sin. I'd really hoped for a breakthrough with this Karr guy although it seemed like such a longshot to begin with.

4. More boring foot updates: I went to the podiatrist today and he recommended PT and orthotics. Which burns my buttons as that is exactly what the PT said, and that my family doctor called, and I am not exaggerating, "poppycock." Additionally, said specialist was particularly intrigued by my tumor removal from a few years ago. "You had a schwanoma in your arm?! Wow, that is quite rare," he said with simultaneous longing and excitement. "Did you see it?" "Nope," I responded, "but my doctor kept it." Looking at me as though to say "duh" he said"Naturally, how interesting!" I briefly considered hooking them up. Blech!

5. I recently decided that if I can't exercise on this stupid doom foot and thus will be fat as a beluga, I should try to divert attention from my fat ass to my face. I feel pretty good about it thus far (my face, not the ass) though I have not been brave enough to use the eye shadow yet. I have this weird thing about not jabbing myself in the eye. Anyway, I think I feel girlier than ever now. I'll let you decide if that's a pro or a con.

You're totally right. One, you have every right not to be able to stand someone with different political views; and two, people who like conservative talk shows should be disqualified from political discourse. I'm sorry to hear this one's a lemon though.
