Down

[muckefuck]

I feel so drained. Is it just all the heated discussion in my LJ or am I coming down with something? My hiring anxiety can't be helping either. Had my first interview today--a very promising candidate--but a supposedly even more promising one scheduled an interview and then never showed up. Grrr.

Well, if I can hold myself together one more day, monshu and I are looking to alternate between the Moon Festival in Old Chinatown and Celtic Fest in Grant Park this Saturday. Was anyone else thinking of going to one of those?

looks like scads of fun in that last post, but with only moderate teeth rattling. The weary insipidness of this election cycle is dulling me out too; I've taken to using the iPod during the commute back n forth, instead of the NPR. Hang in there, sir

Lucky you: My clock-radio's busted again and it's back to waking up to Morning Edition. Call it insipid, but I have to say I'm a whole lot more emotionally invested in this election than I was in 2000's. Man, did the issues look more trivial back then!

I've really been trying to think of how to say what I want to say in response to your post, and it's been driving me nuts around the periphery of my brain that hasn't been too busy to think about it. Really, the question of "Why am I voting the way I am" is and should be a very difficult one.

One thing I definitely enjoy about reading political discussions on your page, as opposed to those of many several others of my friends, is that they seldom seem to be dumb. Sad that that's so appealing in America, isn't it?

I feel lucky to have as many informed friends with strong opinions as I do. I was just thinking this morning how frustrating it is that so many other journals I know, when it comes to political discussion, can turn into echo-chambers. Yours isn't one of them, though, and I value that.

That said, wanna go shoot some skeet with me this weekend? I'll even let you use my AK-47!

You know, I'd really like to, but I just got a new shipment of blood-colored paint, and the new winter fur coats are starting to arrive. I might be free after the anti-globalisation march unless I'm in jail. (Never a good idea to go skeeting after a hunger strike.)

That's okay, I really should spend the time enlarging and printing out foetus photos for the Bible study/poster-making session that evening. (It was going to be a covered-dish potluck, too, but someone pointed out that casserole and embryos don't mix, so we plan to fast and watch Passion of the Christ again instead.)

Maybe next weekend, after I'm finished with the evictions.

*hug* Take care of yourself, my dear.

I wish I could go to the moon festival in Chinatown. I envy you for all the things you can do in Chicago.
