Well I actually took time out from studying to watch this one tonight since it's the only one I am actually able to watch, but after about 45 min. I was pretty damn bored and went back to studying. Frankly I'm just fed up with the whole thing. I want the election to just be over and done. I mean, very little of what either of them is saying bears any resemblance to reality. Kerry gets points for sounding more well-informed than Bush, though. Bush didn't get the laughs he expected when he admitted that one of Kerry's turns "made me want to scowl". Some of the stuff Kerry said just made me even more scared for our welfare as a country, no matter who wins. I felt like telling him to shut up, I mean, is it really going to help him win to talk about how unsafe we are, or is it just going to scare everyone into not voting at all?

Anyway, what's up McC? Haven't noticed you around as much.

Ah, I see from Scribbles you have been sick. That's too bad. The writing's good, though. I was planning to go see Shaun of The Dead this weekend but too much school work. I think next week I will force myself out of the books and go.

Just for Marky

Hey Hey Marky--in Shaun of the Dead you will be happy to know they don't throw an original copy of New Order's Blue Monday.

TragicPIxie - this is for you.

Have you figured out yet how you will be able to vote?

Will you have to get a ride to the place? Can you afford it? If not, how much is it?

You just have to vote, I'll chip in with a few dollars (hey everybody else don't think you can do fundraising here by claiming you don't have enough for the bus fare) towards your ticket. No kidding, you can't not vote because you can't afford to travel to your voting location.

Umm... I haven't figured that out yet hopefully I'll figure something out. The ride thing is a problem see - if there were a bus or the metro going to St. Peters (outlying small town/suburb thing) I'd take it, but there aren't. Sooo... I'm not sure yet. No need for fundraising though considering there isn't any thing to pay for - except a cab, but they're notorious for just not showing up so I'd rather not try it. Maybe I can talk some gallant young gentleman (or old hell I don't care) into driving me out there; though I have a feeling that would work better if I were better looking!

there must be more of you in the same boat so to speak. why don't you round up your friends and you can all share a cab, or there must be someone whose car you can borrow. you can all have a fun field trip day out voting furious george out of the white house, then have an after party.

my offer is still on, just shout if you need it.

ahhh thanks.
But I haven't met anyone from St. Peters - the problem is, I didn't grow up there my parents recently moved there and I changed my address as well for legal stuff.
Hopefully my mum will come get me (she gets the day off anyway) - unforunately that involves me interacting with my mother; which never goes well and is to be avoided for my own good.

Ha ha ha! Well my income tax teacher just claimed that it's the high cost of medical malpractice lawsuits that is responsible for a large part of the easily believable statistic he spouted that the cost of health insurance has gone up by 30% in about 4 years. What to make of it? Aren't there Democrat Congresspeople going *against* legislation to cap Malpractice suits? Is this a good or bad thing???!!
Too much for my school addled brain, ya'll. Throw on them choons, I'm finally takin' a break. Amen, good to be wit ya'll. Spin them turntables.

A wise person once said "Hip Hop has killed Soul" and I didn't disagree.

I'm glad Sloth mentioned Happy Mondays, though because every time I see that title "Shaun Of The Dead"...
