I got a new job.

I’m looking for a new apartment.

I suck at posting.

I am totally sorry about that, internet. It’s not ALL my fault. For the last month, every time I’ve logged into wordpress, I’ve been prompted to upgrade. By the time I finish upgrading, I don’t feel like writing anymore.

Okay, totally my fault for being a word-wuss. I won’t give up as often anymore.

How are you guys doing? Is anyone out there?

Go vote 5 and buy (if you like it, anyway!) for this sweet tee.

This could be a big boon for me. Super moblog!

I want to take this opportunity to speak directly to those of you who oppose my decision to support the FISA compromise.

This was not an easy call for me. I know that the FISA bill that passed the House is far from perfect. I wouldn’t have drafted the legislation like this, and it does not resolve all of the concerns that we have about President Bush’s abuse of executive power. It grants retroactive immunity to telecommunications companies that may have violated the law by cooperating with the Bush Administration’s program of warrantless wiretapping. This potentially weakens the deterrent effect of the law and removes an important tool for the American people to demand accountability for past abuses. That’s why I support striking Title II from the bill, and will work with Chris Dodd, Jeff Bingaman and others in an effort to remove this provision in the Senate.

The FISA court’s powers were already ridiculously overreaching. Saying that returning to what is at best a basic separation of powers and at worst a pantomime of asking for a retroactive warrant.

There’s no excuse for supporting the continuation of the warrantless wiretapping program. Obama says that he’d rather support an imperfect compromise than wait for a perfect bill. That’s the most backward thinking I’ve heard come from his normally golden tongue. If a bill is bad, vote against it. It’s as simple as that.

Obama is trying to appear strong on terror at the cost of angering his base. I know a lot of his supporters will ignore or forgive this transgression, but I won’t be among them.

“The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What’s that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you’re too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you’re young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating…

…and you finish off as an orgasm.”

Hah. Just kidding. She’ll keep fighting for fairness that benefits her more than the other guy.

(I’m not alone in thinking it’s a damn shame that Florida and Michigan got to seat delegates, am I? I mean, it’s not like anyone in those states was unaware that their votes wouldn’t count. Ah well, at least we know better than to expect the Democrats to behave any better than the Republican when it comes to following rules.)

Warren Ellis has a weekly webcomic running over there. He’s a living god, so prostrate yourselves and go play catchup.

As some of you may or may not know, I use Axe Bodywash. It’s a dark shame, I know. I loathe everything about Axe’s marketing, but dammit if that bodywash doesn’t smell great. While at the grocery store I spotted this:

What the hell. This thing is ridiculous. It’s a regular black loofa with a rubber grip around one side. In the middle of the rubber grip is a much rougher loofa thing (for cleaning hands, elbows, and feet, according to the packaging. Who knew my elbows were so dirty?).

It was two bucks, How could I resist?
