Life in general, and a few links
Sep. 10th, 2008 09:53 amThis seems like the most accurate analysis of Palin's political approach that I've seen, given what I'm pulling together from various articles and sources. The more I read, the more she reminds me of Bush, honestly.
Election crap in Ohio still happening I'm planning to work Election Protection again this year.
Life's really just fine, but I've been wandering the edges of a depression, and also flaring a bit. Between the two, I'm exceedingly low energy, and just want to sleep all the time. Hence the lack of postiness. Students were good last night, though, which was a nice pick-me-up, and I have a second date tonight, which should be fun. Also, stress at work has decreased substantially. Our little office revolt seems to have paid off; things have been really quite calm and good recently (although busy as ever).
I have, however, been having a good deal of fun working on research for my tattoo. Now that we've gotten so far on what's already on, we're ready to start planning locations and selections for some of the other figures, moving down my side and leg. After lots of research, finding a bunch of fascinating new images, and lots of debate, I've narrowed it down (via spreadsheet, of course *eyeroll*) to my list of relatively final selections (some changes may happen as we try to determine placement). *bounce* Yay! There are a few that aren't online (from my original research), but maybe when I'm home one of these nights I'll post links to those that are. Or get really motivated, and scan everything in.
Other than that, I've been doing obscene amounts of Sudoku and watching the first season of 30 Rock and a lot of old Doctor Who. Not much interesting to discuss. Really shocked at how long it's been since I've read a book (I think close to a month, which is utterly bizarre for someone who usually reads a book every few days), but I just haven't had the mental energy, first with everything going crazy-good, and now with the mood slump, combined with all the political articles there are to read at the moment. I am short-attention-span girl at the moment. And I want a nap.
