Two posts in the same morning! Wowee!
This one, however, is much more political.
I am happy to hear that Obama has made a decisive statement about abortion rights.
As far as the Republicans go, I have some thoughts.
I cannot and will not vote for or support in any way a candidate for President who:
Called his wife a cunt. In public, no less - what does he say to her in private?
Doesn't take responsibility for his quick and vicious temper - laughing and shrugging it off doesn't cut it.
Chooses a VP running mate (apparently) because she has a vagina, was born in the country, is old enough, and looks good on camera.
Conducted this embarassment of an interview with Time Magazine.
Voted against a law that would help eliminate the male-female wage gap.
I cannot and will not support a candidate for Vice President who:
Cut funding for a halfway house for teenage mothers.
Offered a $150 bounty for each wolf killed, and supports aerial hunting of wolves.
Tried to sue the government to take Polar Bears off the protected list.
Is a member of a "feminist" group that is anti-choice.
Is a religious dominionist.
Wouldn't allow rape and incest victims to have abortions.
Is already under major investigations.
For an interesting look at Palin's claims versus facts, check here. Hmmmm~
current mood: grim

For any and all who didn't see it, the text of Obama's speech at the DNC can be read here.
Seriously, guys. In tears here. Talk about a damn good speech.

I. Am. Awesome.
Friday night, I acquired my new bedframe, a pretty twin-sized black metal daybed from IKEA. I've been lusting after it since I first saw it almost four years ago.
Saturday, I went to put it together in the living room, because there was more space there. Together! La! Success! Then! I pulled it up on one end to drag it down the hallway to my room, only to discover that the hallway IS TOO NARROW. SWEET JESUSFUCK ON A CHEESE-COVERED CRACKER.
Feeling frustrated yet optimistic, I took the bed apart and dragged the pieces to my bedroom. Things had to be moved around before I had enough space to work the tiny little wrench and get things together.
Two strained hands and a good deal of cursing and shoving stuff around later, I had a re-assembled bedframe. Unfortunately, in the reassembly, one of the heads of the screw-thingy heads (a screw shaft that went into a black cylinder that had the alan wrench hole in the other side) fell down into one of the legs, so I actually had to break off the foot of that leg to get it out. Undaunted, I finished my task.
Then came the wrestling of the Holy Box Spring and Exalted Mattress. The Holy Box Spring, in its glory, did not wish to settle properly into position. It twisted, it shifted, it fell through and got stuck several times. I vowed to coerce it into place, and failing that, force it into submission, despite the blasphemy of the very thought. After roughly half an hour of (wo)manhandling the Holy Box Spring, it resentfully sank into place and gave no further resistance. The Exalted Mattress was happy enough to go where directed.
And thus, I have a proper bed, and have appointed myself to the grand office of Furniture Pope, God(dess), and All That.

It's time for a round of FIX THAT GRAMMAR!
Here is an email that Mr. Asshole sent out to our entire team today. Terms and stuff changed to protect my job. Please note that his first and only language is English.
"For those addresses that my team is not migrating on the Super Crazy Codes report will be marked for inactivation. These addresses that are marked for inactivation there is a program that is run at 3:00am every morning that looks to see if there is any open orders for the address. Any addresses there is no longer a open order will automatically be inactivated and will always have my name on it whether I worked on the customer or not.
Please refer to the following customer group to determine which Nifty Process member worked on that customer and send them a e-mail. X:\Networkaddress If you can't determine who it is then send me a e-mail. If you have any questions let me know."
Aaaaaaand, GO!

The Fantasy of Being Thin is an old post at Shapely Prose that I just stumbled across. It really resonates with me, and the changes I'm trying to effect in the way that I think about myself. A good read.
Also, this is probably one of the best quotes I've ever seen, by Buttercup.
"There is no key to happiness, because happiness is unlocked."
How's that for deep? Hell yeah. Toki agrees with me.
( Bonus! Red Velvet Cake Recipe! )

I think I'm vaguely annoyed that Magnus ver Magnusson is only #3 in the 9 Manliest Names list.
I mean. It's MAGNUS VER MAGNUSSON. He should've been #2 at the very least.
Of course, Staff Sergeant Max Fightmaster is a hella awesome name too.

This is one of the winningest metaquotes in existence.
I especially love the link to Improv Everywhere, and the idea for Internet: The Musical, which is detailed in the comments.
Roflmapoopters, to quote ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) kyoht.

Friends in Minneapolis/Minnesota area! I have a dastardly plan!
On Friday, August 29th, I plan to celebrate John McCain's birthday. With cake.
Just like President Bush celebrated it on August 29th, 2005, while Hurricane Katrina steamrolled (rickrolled?) New Orleans.
Link to awesome. There is wank there, but the original post makes for lulz.

Tentative surgery date: Oct 7th.
Before then, I have to have another consult with the surgeon, a pre-op checkup with a regular doctor, and coordinate the short term disability with work.
Mom will be coming up to MN for it, because she wants to be there and help me out.
There will be two weeks of being off work afterwards, so I uh.. expect to play a lot of WoW. >_>;
