I did it. I signed up. We can call me masochistic now.

I just failed at adding the Typekey authorization code to the comments section. All because I was too lazy to modify a tag here and there probably, but never fear, there's still tomorrow (if I'm not too hungover)!

The upgrade to version 3.121 did go ok. Apparently I still know how to do that! Then again, they way my server was hiccuping maybe it had one too many? The 'new entry' screen is kinda nifty. What I really want to do is implement subcategories and finish off the css tags and other templates that have been untouched since I first installed MT almost two years ago.

Hmm, we shall see. I have a bundle of nerves to kill these next few days, assuming that is, I don't kill myself. Here's to being productive.

Oh yeah, and somebody slap me! I'm five minutes away from signing up for NANOWRIMO.

Listening to: Tales of a Librarian - Tori Amos

I realized today that people are all too willing to help out when touch screens aren't accessible for voting. Yes, it's not one size fits all. And though I find it very sweet when the volunteers hold the screen up, move it closer, or even turn it upside down so I can hit the blinking "vote" button, I do tend to get nervous when that same nice volunteer starts making remarks about my choices! Had they been snide, I would have ruined the entire experience for everyone currently in that room. Needless to say it was an interesting day.

I voted. I waited in line for an hour in no air-conditioning to vote, but it's done. Two people almost commited vehicular homicide, but my scooter and I got there in one piece. Seriously, who's bright idea was it to set up an early voting site right across from a high school and elementary school with no sidewalk. San Antonio just doesn't believe in sidewalks apparently. And then they're so baffled as to why they're so many wheelchair fatalities on the roads.

Anyway, go vote!

Answer the question. Would you bring them back home or not? Those poor reservists and guards have been there a while.

Yes, someone of the soldiers are happy to defend their country. Some don't. Bush screwed up by claiming to the world that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, and therefore had a legitimate claim to attack even though the UN was telling him he was WRONG.

If the US wants the respect from the world then it must listen to the world not ignore it like some sullen child. Listening isn't the same as obeying either. Other countries have some wisdom to them, and when they say there are no WMD, well gee, I wonder what they mean by that. Sure, Iraq is better off without their Big Bad, but it seems to me like there's something worse in it's place. Maybe not so much for its people, but what about us?

See, and this is why I didn't watch the last two debates.

Does Bush normally stumble over his words like that?

I feel like I'm watching a skit on SNL. Those faces he's making. Half the time I want to laugh, and half the time I want to cringe. At least he's not frothing at the mouth this time.

It's all promises, promises. They're both full of hot air.

Immigration: Keep them out. If they're not legal then they don't have a right to be here and take our jobs. We have no jobs. Why give them away?

Lost just owned me. I read a mini review that stated I would catch the twist if I watched closely. It still flew past me and hit me in the gut. ::sniff::

Ok, I admit it. I'm a Locke fan now. Who's with me?
