The teaser trailer for Revenge of the Sith has premiered online. Drool my pretties, drool. This is probably as good as it will get.

I wonder if it's easier to become a lawyer in Canada...

Boing Boing is reporting that the RIAA's cousin, the MPAA, plans to file a ridiculous amount of lawsuits against filesharers.
I guess the whole, "You're stealing from the carpenters," campaign didn't work out. Can you blame us? I have it timed to get to the theater exactly after all the ads have ended and the previews have begun. If I wanted to see an advertisement on Coke Carb, I'd turn on my tv. That is if my roommate was up to torturing me for failing to tape Gilmore Girls.

Have you voted yet? If your answer is in the negative, my question to you is "What the HELL are you waiting for!!!"
Go vote!

I'm ashamed to admit that I'm excited about tomorrow. I don't know exactly why it's shameful just yet, other than the fact that my roommate grimaced, and I'm still watching Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars. It's all about the numbers I guess. It's like watching a football or soccer (real football) game. If my favorite team is playing, I turn into a screaming wild thing that accidently alienates everyone around me. I can't help it, and it's quite fun.
I'm hopeing for quite a winning score.
The only disappointing thing about this whole election is the atmosphere. I'm starting to think that whomever does get elected President won't change much. Too many people are playing the blame game, and it's so easy to say that all Republicans are evil, and that Democrats deserve to be shot. Will a new President, or an old one close the gap and try to make things better?
I hate reading blogs that talk about incidents of such unexplainable aggression when I know the same exists on the other side. Enough with the blame game.
I hate watching on the news that people are being threatened at poll sites. They're being told who they should vote for. Is this democracy, people? We will get nowhere if we start intimidating and fighting each other just to cast a vote. I really don't think the founding fathers had that in mind when they fought and won the war for our independance. Or are we so ignorant that we forget such an insignificant detail as that? After all, if the Pledge can be challenged, and more than half the nation doesn't know the words to the "Stars Bangled Banner" what else can we expect about our nation and its knowledge of its own history.
Stop the lying, stop with the threats, get the facts out, and tomorrow when the polls open make a choice and vote.
Oh, and this blog officially endorses me.

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.
