Okie dokie.
So Bush wins, Kerry looses, and I should just be absolutely devastated, right?
But I'm not. Disappointed, yes, aggravated definitely, but not devastated. Mainly because I'm watching this whole thing unfold with a sort of detached amusement.
I'm not going to put on a tin foil hat, but I will say something is awfully fishy about how quickly the channels wanted to call Ohio and Florida for Bush. Florida especially, with only a tiny percentage of the votes counted. And what was more disgusting is how no one stood up to the media to tell them to put a lid on it.
But what's really going on is what Eric Alterman talks about here: http://msnbc.msn.com/id/3449870/
There ARE two Americas, and pretty soon we're gonna start kicking each others asses. They kicked ours last night... now it's time we started kicking theirs for real.

And I was soooo looking forward to you in the tin foil hat.

So I'm thinking to myself, "Who is this 'George' person with this sudden interest in my foil-related attire". So I click on his link thingy, and think to myself - this guy is not only foward enough to care about what I wear on my head, he's funny as well. Damn my newly-achieved married status!
And then to my shock and surprise... Bubster has turned into a George! I've heard about this sort of thing happening in the entertainment industry. You haven't taken up exotic dancing or anything as unsavory, like running for public office, have you?
Love you lots, mister, and I've missed you like hell. How's tricks down under?
Gots to love them innocent questions what appear so risque to those who know not where george resides...
I am remarkably well, and I trust you are too. Otherwise words will be had... Words like 'get' and 'well'. 'Soon', mayhap.
I am truly enamoured (*checks that he hasn't writ 'enarmoured'*) of your bloggy photo. Just so's you know.
Life continues apace (despite some minor work-y set-backs of which I will not further speak) and love, life, friends, occasional overindulgences, the onset of Spring, serious BBQing and puppy-related stuff make it all worthwhile.
As for the george thing, well, it's as good as a holiday. As good as a holiday.
(heh: way to take over the comment thread; carry on butt-kicking each others' Americas)
Spring! Heh, it's "spring" here, too, in Sunny California. Speaking of which - weren't you supposed to drop by not too long ago? ;) Your bloggy-photo-thingy is quite nice as well. Very arty and conceptual ... the hand symbolizing the faceless anonymity of the internet, the cold and remote relationships developed here. Or perhaps you were just having a bad hair day. Who can say?
Butt kicking, yes. I'm pretty burnt out on politics at the moment, what with just having the future of this great country of mine pooped on and all. I know we Americans bitch about it a lot online, but I think that's our way of trying to express just how god-awful things have gotten here. Horrible war, christian conservatives running everything, and we're all supposed to hate homosexuals and Muslims. I feel sorry for the gay Muslims, myself. Compulsory church services and gun ownership are soon to follow, no doubt.
*sigh* Is Australia nice? It's far away from here. Far away from here sounds pretty good right now. :)
Australia's lovely. Oh, except it's an America-wannabe in respect of everything you just mentioned. I'm still trying to work out which switch to throw to reverse the polarity.
memo to self: drop by California before it's too late (*dramatic chord*)
Yes, if the 'Big One' doesn't get us the angry pitchfork-wielding mob certainly will. I think I'd prefer getting dumped into the Pacific over being poked repeatedly with a farming implement while being forced to recite Bible verses. How 'bout you?
I'm seriously thinking about Canada - Somewhere in BC like Victoria or Vancouver would be nice. Close enough to the US that I wouldn't get too homesick, but far enough away from Americans to be happy. I couldn't say that living there would make me any happier, but the change would be nice. Things are just too... tense here at the mo'. Darn shame of it all is that they allow you residency on a point system, allotting you so many points for your education, career, ability to walk upright and speak English and/or French, etc. I rank just 5 points shy of qualifying, so I'm going to need to get a degree of some sort first before heading out.
But enough about me... tell me how YOU YOU YOU are doing! :) Aside from BBQs and puppyrats and whatnot.
What do you think about this whole HHGG movie thingy? I think we should all be mentioned by name somewhere in the credits, but I'd settle for being invited to the premire. ;)
