some liberal thinking ahead….

On Bush: Conservatives say “Bush brings character to the table.” I think that’s a lie.

Bush and the Segway: play by play here, money shot here.

On polling: so the reports came out that 22% of Americans polled believed that iraq really did possess weapons of mass destruction. to put it all in perspective, here’s a pretty interesting link.

On Martha and Hilary: i think they’re both pretty darned cool. is society ready accept strong women yet?

On A&F’s new allegations of racism in hiring: one more reason why being an asian american republican makes no sense to me.

before i forget…

In case you haven’t heard, BLUR’s new cd is AMAZING.

their bassist is pretty damn hot too. here’s a pic from coachella (i still need to post those pics.. doh!).

no damon albarn pics to post just yet.. maybe eventually. =)

Fallen!

I’ve fallen off the face of the earth!! have i disappeared??

i feel like i have… :(

soooo out of the loop.

graduations are coming up this week, and it’s a busy time for everyone. at this point, i’m walking in three ceremonies: the huge L&S one, History, and Anthropology. I’m having a hard time deciding how big a deal i want to make this, since i’m not *really* done with classes yet and it doesn’t really feel like a *real* graduation to me. so right now, i’ve only told my family to come down… no one else. i’m not even sure if i should tell anyone. Part of me wants to see my friends there, part of me also doesn’t feel like it’s a *real* graduation and it’s not really worth it. Or maybe part of me is just afraid of inviting people and telling them to come and them not showing up for it. I know people are really busy these days — working, school, other graduations, etc — and chances are not good that they can make it down for my graduation… my not-really-real graduation.

I guess it sort of has a bad flavor in my mouth. once again, a graduation with a bad flavor in my mouth. it’s a long story, too long to detail here, but graduations and me haven’t ever had a happy coexistence.

i’m sort of excited though, although i don’t really feel like it’s really going to be my thing. i’m there for jen’s grad, or other people’s graduations… i don’t really feel like i have anything to celebrate for myself just yet.

eventually i’ll graduate. i know jer’s counting the days. =P
