Thank God for great music and great books, and for PlayStation...
I swear, if I didn't have a shelf full of good music and good books to escape into, I really don't think I'd be able to deal with having our faces rubbed in George Bush's shit.

Tonight I believe I'll start reading "The Lord Of The Rings" again. I've never actually finished the trilogy, and I think now is the perfect time to do it...

2. Was just thinking about LOTR

and how it applies... only our Aragorn just decided to
concede to the Dark Lord, and I'm not sure we HAVE a Frodo
marching to Mt. Doom, but if we did, he/she is not getting
any help from the Dems (no token charge to the gates of Mordor
to distract the Dark Lord, blah blah blah).

After you get done with LOTR, get a copy of "Bored of the Rings"
and read all about the adventures of Dildo Baggins.

3. I'm going home tonight, popping in San Andreas
And going on a shooting rampage through downtown Los Santos. It's okay when it's just dots and pixels ;)

6. Nellie Bly bio, check. New George Carlin book, check.
Gilmore Girls Season 2 DVD available in December, check.

Nagging sense that food won't taste as good, music won't sound as cathartic, Autumn air won't feel as refreshing, and feeling for fellow man is fatally diminished...check.

8. I was just thinking of starting a similar thread
I have probably a hundred hours of anime to watch and three shelves of unread books. I'm set until well into next year.

As for my newsjunkieness? Well, without Air America life would really suck news-wise, but I can still get a liberal news fix from there and the occasional CSPAN show.

Look at it this way--at least we know the date that Bush is leaving office for sure now. (I refuse to believe that they'd try for a third term.)
