oh boy - what to say...
work is great - all three of the ice cold bitches from a few posts ago are on vacation this week. shaggy has new clients coming out of the woodwork, or plaster, or whatever crap is on walls out here. so that's great.
we had a double kitty birthday the other day - twilight and shadow are 3! it's crazy - i remember when their brother from the litter before them was a tiny baby... and there's no way i can get away with calling them kittens any more.
why do i feel like i'm writing a letter?
time for a rant!
so i got an email a few days ago from a fellow mormon asking me to help forward a solicitous campaign email for mitt romney. now, as of yet i have nothing personal against mitt - but i definitely have not decided to swing his way. i don't even know what "his way" is - the man never discusses what his actual politics are, just tries to avoid mud-slinging. i'd have to know what he stands for before i could consider him as the next prez. and don't say that being mormon is going to determine his political views, because harry reid is mormon too, and he's pretty staunchly a democrat. so, that said - what the hell?!? assuming that i'm going to vote for someone based on religion?!? i have a big fat problem with voting against someone solely on basis of religion, so it seems pretty hypocritical to me to support someone for the same reason. i am pretty close to hitting "reply all" on that email with a campaign hit for someone else - not hillary because if they take me seriously and think i support that idiot, that would suck. of course, she's the only one that i'm actually anti right now. since i'm not affiliated with either party, it doesn't make much sense for me to get too involved before the primaries.
i would love it the country was multi-party in actuality instead of just pretending. maybe if high schools started teaching kids about more than just two... i didn't even know other parties really existed until i saw nader on my first ballot. wouldn't it be cool if normal people could run for office instead of only fabulously rich people?
i'm noticing that all my rants end in "wouldn't it be nice"'s.
c'est la vie.
