Well, I’m disappointed by the actions of a politician again.
At some point it’s like, do I blame them, or do I blame myself for believing in them at first?
Both. You have to be disappointed that he could not simply come right out…
What bothers me is that he didn’t take responsibility immediately. Had he taken this bull by the horns and said, “yes, that was a mistake, and I’m sorry,” I wouldn’t have lost an ounce of respect for him. He has now made it clear that this is something that he and his wife have talked about, and it’s a relationship issue that I have no business caring about. So had he just not done the whole “Oh crap, I’ve been hacked!” deal, he would have been so much better off.
Anyway, I’m glad he’s not resigning. I strongly support many of his political stances and believe that he will continue to do good things for this country.
Damn, disappointment sucks.

is this the real life? is this just fantasy?
Now I just need to convince myself that I never knew any of this, since both the shows are in California.

My poor gerbil is still suffering and not yet dead, although he can barely walk and is having trouble drinking water. I may have to take him to be euthanized tomorrow after all. Also it’s possible I have broken at least one of my toes. How was your weekend?
I felt like an 8-year-old typing that, but yeah. It really sucks. He looks awful and I kind of wish I could put him out of his misery.

Well first of all I looked at my bank account, and I know I’ve said this before, but I am never going to have money for nice things again, never. if all I had to do was pay my rent and bills every month, no problem, I make enough for that and some left over, but it’s never just that. I just moved and I had to pay for the U-haul, I had to pay fees to get water and electricity and cable and internet turned on, and I spent $300 at Target on just the bare essentials of stuff—cleaning supplies, plates and utensils, trash cans, etc. $300 is a lot of money for me these days. Then I was like, “I’ve been so good lately, I haven’t spent money on anything frivolous in months, not even $20 on a stupid DVD or something” (which is true)…”I can afford to buy poster frames!” (which is NOT true, frames are crazy expensive, what was I thinking?). So that was another $120 down the drain.
I know, I’m whining. Let me get to the hardest part: I had to shoulder 3/4 of the rent this month because my roommate isn’t moving in until the 15th. The rent check I wrote was SEVENTY PERCENT of my monthly income. Calculating pretty conservatively, it’s going to take me a good six months to recover from that. Also my car insurance was due this month and all of my other insurance (life, umbrella, renters) is due as well; my renter’s is overdue. I just don’t know what to do at this point. My parents will loan me money which is a huge safety net but my dad is so bad about constantly reminding me how much I owe him that I’d honestly rather struggle along than borrow more from him. I already owe him several hundred dollars for the new computer I bought a couple of months ago.
I’ve experienced lots of different kinds of stressors in my life but so far money has been the worst. Which, in a lot of ways, makes me lucky.
I shouldn’t complain because I got to see him in Atlanta, but…it’s still hard.
It’s disgusting just how true this comic is.
yep. you ain’t wrong!
I’m sure there are lots of anti-abortion [edit: anti-choice? pro-life? any help from the Chomskyites?] progressives out there (although I think they would generally rather lower abortion rates through social support systems than making it outright illegal). But sometimes this kind of person seems like all there is.
She & Him will be at the Ryman September 1st. I feel like throwing a temper tantrum because I can’t go.
I want to go too but who would I go with? This would be a good reason to have a boyfriend.
