I'm here bitching about music, and DCFC's new album dropped yesterday.

If you buy digital, and you're buying the entire album, buy it from Amazon (it's $4 cheaper). But maybe you really want a music video and a demo for those extra two bucks.

Also, who does Ben Gibbard think he is, Thom Yorke? That Possess Your Heart single is sick.

This is a good movie. It's quite long, but it was totally fascinating for me personally. I'm not particularly familiar with American tax law and such, so I couldn't believe the con that American income tax is. Made me wonder if they have an ACTUAL law in Canada that requires us to pay income tax :o

To be honest, I do have an enduring respect for the ideals of America. A country born from a revolution? Damn, who isn't going to enjoy that. I truly feel for the American people, to have that beautiful ideal destroyed so utterly by the ruling class. So covertly too.

I actually allowed my drivers license to expire in January. I don't believe I will ever renew it again. I didn't drive often anyways. I like my bike and public transit thanks.

I'd reject those ID cards if I was American.

As someone who is quickly becoming an immigration "expert" .. all I have to say is that all these "new" security measures being put in place for "our protection" due to "terrorism" were being developed well before 9/11. All these things being implemented were discussed throughout the 1990s ... they just use terrorism as the justification. Quite suspicious if you ask me.

psst ... GTFO NWO

Saturn's ragged moon Rhea has one of the oldest surfaces known.

The kitchen floor is done, and the cabinets are halfway back in. Still some work to be done and appliances to be installed. Johnny is hoping to have the kitchen completed by the weekend at the latest, then we'll have a few days to put stuff away and move everything out of the dining room and the right side of the living room so that he can start putting down the hardwood floors, w00t! We're anticipating getting phase 2 started by Wednesday. I'm not sure how long the hardwood floor installation will take, but hopefully not as long as the kitchen - although at least we'll be able to cook and do dishes while it is going on.

I miss having a dishwasher... and a kitchen sink, for that matter!

We got our federal tax return in the mail a few days ago, plus the final check from my grandfather's estate (the bank held some back in case there were tax issues) so I'll deposit that money tomorrow, w00t. Still no sign of our stimulus check, but I expect that'll be another month coming.

Thursday I'll have the day off work to hang out with Knight, since he'll be getting his Lasik surgery done, which I know he's looking forward too.

I got the glasses that I ordered from Zenni Optical in the mail today, and I totally love them! Ihey were only $30 including shipping for a single vision prescription - I don't quite need bifocals yet. The frames are red metal, sort of rounded rectangles if that makes sense. Anyway, they're tres cool, and I plan on wearing them to work tomorrow. Nobody noticed the other new frames I got last week, although they are admittedly very subtle changes. These, not so much! I took a photo of myself, I'll get it off the camera and post it tomorrow, since I'd better be heading off to bed now as it's getting late.

Kara got her stitches out yesterday from her neutering, and she's up to 2.2 lbs. Still as adorable and excitable as ever.

Not much else that I can think of for right now... so I guess it's off to bed.

Dear all,
I've found one reason why Hillary is staying the race. Electoral-Vote.com maintains the results of state-by-state polls.

When Obama goes against McCain, Obama gets 237 electoral votes, and McCain gets 290 votes.

When Clinton goes against McCain, Clinton gets 280 electoral votes, and McCain gets 241 votes.

This is just one collection of polls; other collections may have different results.

Take care, all.

UPDATE: ytterbius points out that this data has been posted in politicsforum, as well as the rebuttal: polls this far from the election have little relation to how people will vote in November.
