Friday Rant-o-Matic

Here’s a list of random crap that I’ve read or thought about lately, but not had time to post about. No particular order:

• Obama is a lying little shit. He is a racist (like most black people are, I’ve come to realise after years of living in a mostly black area) and the only reason he’s “denouncing” his pastor now is because he (Obama) has been outed for the lying asshole politician that he is. Anyone who thinks that Obama is pure of heart is a dumbass. He’s just another politician. He’ll have no power to do anything (um, last time I checked the Dems were taking it in the ass from the Reps) and he’ll be just as lame as any other prez is. But, hey, at least he’s not a Nazi like Clinton, right? Mandated health insurance? KISS MY ASS. There is no way to win with the choices we’ve got for prez this year. No way. It’s a shit sandwich any way you slice it, so vote Libertarian and at least show the ruling parties that there ARE plenty of us out here and we plan to take over. Fair Tax anyone?
• Speaking of politics, if you don’t watch Boston Legal, you should. Not only is the writing and acting superb, but the issues they address are impressive: assisted suicide, euthanasia, alzheimers, sexism, racism, politics, cloned cows for food, the environment and many more. They are fearless. And the main core of the show (to me, anyway) is the exploration of deep friendship. Alan Shore and Denny Crane, played brilliantly by James Spader and Bill Shatner respectively, are two of the most engaging characters I’ve seen on network TV in ages. Watch the show. You’ll learn something every week, I promise.
• I’m overbooked. I plan to trim our social calendar back, so don’t take it personally if we pass on events. I’m feeling very stressed by having every frelling weekend crammed with stuff to do for others when we’ve got a houseful of projects to do around here.
• On a similar note, I’m not feeling all that great lately, either. My hormones have gone wacky again and it’s making me a bit, uh, snippy. I apologize for past and future snippage as I deal with this shit.
• Can’t wait to see Iron Man!
• Jewelry. Everything that is currently finished plus 3 pieces I’ve promised are class projects and will be gifted. Anything that you guys would like made will cost you – but I’m discounting for friends/family. I would like to have true retail sales up and running by the end of the year. I am helping my teacher fabricate for DragonCon and I hope to have a few things to sell there as well. So, bottom line: if you want a ring or whatever, I’ll happily take your orders and make you a one of a kind handmade piece. Friends/family get about 50% F/F discount. Otherwise, you’ll pay about 75% of retail. I won’t sell my ‘learning curve’ pieces at full retail. When I decide that I’m ready for retail, then it’s straight up retail. Got it?
• It’s Friday and I couldn’t care less. Bleh. I awoke with back pain and overall malaise. I think I’ll take a disco nap this afternoon and hope to the gods that I can be halfway social for Heather’s party tonite. Gods help me. /end whining/
• Everyone have a wonderful weekend. Please come out to Free Comic Book day at Criminal Records and pick up your FREE Think Weasel sampler!!
