bobbi gets all politicalie

oh sarah! i saw your acceptance speech - you're so bold, so fierce, so snotty.

...which is to say, i love you! and lets be friends, please.

BUT




-thanks be given to faye for the forward!
did palin really answer the economic-crisis-topical question posed at the first debate with an (approximate) "at the next soccer game, ask the mom next to you what they think about it. i bet they have some concerns?" she did.
and questions requiring specific answers were thrown back with a (again, wildly approximately): "we're mavericks and we'll do what we need to do to get it done!" point is, tina wasn't much off.
which stems from this wonderful tidbit by my lovely, favorite, tina fey, on snl. ah, the Funny.

-soon-to-be-a-wearer of this T!

ashes to ashes, i all fall Down

no one can accuse Me of being incident prone (example 1, example 2) ...Example 3!!!
well, i was pretty zipped (wink wink & a ha ha, C), which came from throwing back a couple glasses of wine on an otherwise empty and growling stomach, but Still! i mean how many'a time have i been in said state and Not fallen? millions.
that last stair just leapt at me!
that ...ORrrrrr blame can be laid upon the glimmering, darting black cat under foot, the sparkly shiny rhinestone sandals reflecting in my eyes, Else the sparks from the grillin action. perhaps?!?
probably not.

PLUG alert:

the ting tings will be playing at the varsity on august 4th. they don't suck. this song&video you will love? yes, yes you will. then there's an award for the lowest budget for the best song going TO... but, whatever. see you there!

oh and (a random thought alert!), i take that back! death cab's new album (narrow stairs) might be the best yet (it's battling for first in my mind with plans).

a hurricane ... brought down

so i watched a movie last night & the story was great, but unfortunately true, so it somewhat pissed me off, all the while completely frustrating me.

BUT, after reading wikipedia and its critic's ... ummm criticisms, i'm not so sure those feelings should be ... ummm felt. damn - i so very much wanted to cheer for Rubin "hurricane" Carter and hate the asses who were not letting him up for air, ever. in the movie he was soooo set up for murder after leading an already rough childhood. there's a detective way out to get him and, well, does. so rubin (denzel washington (yum)) turns his anger around, stating that hate put him in jail, but love will get him out. aaaaaawe! bob dylan even wrote a song about the ordeal, which i've always liked, but didn't know that it was about this. anyway, after coming across some amazingly helpful friends AND nearly 20 years in jail a federal court judge in new jersey finds that rubin had not received a fair trial, that the prosecution had been "based on racism rather than reason and concealment rather than disclosure," and then sets aside the conviction. is he bitter? no. wow.
i shouldn't have research this story in (wikipedia kinda) depth, cause now i'm not sure i buy rubin's (shoddy???) story.
Lesson: enjoy the film and leave it at that, dammit!
