Ug, I am angry and disappointed at the MA election. Small bright spot: It finally motivated me to fill out my MD voter registration. Will mail it tomorrow.

D. and I finally saw Up for the first time. I was crying enough after the first 10 minutes that D. paused the movie. (Sometimes I get emotional at movies, but I rarely *sob*. Just one more way that I'm becoming my mother.) After that we really loved it. Behind the curve I know, but the joke about the dead squirrel struck me as the funniest thing ever (in that moment).

Oh White Collar! How I adore you! So much silly (and pretty, and charming and man-emotion)!
Maybe in the next episode there can be a really cold room where you die by freezing to death and they will have to snuggle naked together for warmth. You know they'd go there.
This is great! From [livejournal.com profile] invader_jim.

I usually don't post about politics, but I found this interesting. Frankly I don't think of Alaskans as big ralliers (more independent types, but that view isn't well supported by anything specific).

More people showed up to an ad hoc Alaska Women Reject Palin rally than to the official Palin rally that got national media coverage. Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] bayleaf for the link.

You should check out this site. Sean Tevis is running for State Representative in Kansas. His political ad is done in the style of xkcd. From the ad he sounds sane and reasonable (plus it's funny). We can't vote in Kansas but take a look. No, really, it's titled "Running for Office: It's Like A Flamewar with a Forum Troll, but with an Eventual Winner".
