(e:Jim) is awesome. Freakin' awesome.
When I was a little boy there was someone very special in my life. I looked up to him and he greatly influenced me, shaping my into the person I am today. Well coiffed hair, a velvet jacket, jewels on his fingers, and a martini in his hands. Yes, I am talking about Scott Thompson's character Buddy Cole.
Well, (e:Jim) is super awesome. He took me to see the Kids in the Hall live at the Niagara Schmaltz Palace and Casino. They were fantastic! Most of the material was new and just as good as it was in their halcyon days.
Thank you very much Jim.

Hungover already?Last weekend I was in Premier and exclaimed "Oh my god! Swiss wine? That has to be terrible!" and picked up a bottle. A pinot noir with a label that looks like a Marsden Hartley treatment of the Swiss flag.
Well, it was terrible. It tasted like jammy prison hooch. So much so I was picking phantom raspberry seeds from my teeth and a drug offenders penis from places lower. An hour after my single glass I am hungover.
Take it away Kids!

Sure, next time try the Latvian champagne. It's in with the other champagnes, but placed in a manner that makes you think maybe they're a little bit ashamed that they thought they could ever sell any. The label is inexplicably in Russian and I don't remember what it's called, but it's unspeakably awful.

Good News, Better News.Hi,
This isn't about politics for the most part. It is about my next favorite topic, me. So last night, my man did better than all of the polls predicted except one, and that polling place has a horrible track record. But then, I was reading this morning and I took a look at my bookmark. It is a letter from the bank with my student loans. As it turns out, I owe about 20,000 less than I thought. Which means my monthly payments are about half what I thought they would be.
I am so happy this morning.
Kisses,
-James

Just a suggestion. Since your loan is lower you will pay less a month and the loan will get paid off at the same time it would have if it was more then what you thought it is now. If that was clear then you will get what I mean. If you have the money why not pay what you thought you where going to pay or at least close to it. Different loans are Different but most of the time any extra money you send (unless it is double you payment then they count it as two months) get applied to the perrium amount. If they don't do it and put it towards the interest there should be a way to let them know to put it to the preium. If you only pay the interest your loan will never go away.

What a relief! I wonder what your rate is? Maybe you shouldn't tell me because if it is lower than mine I will probably hate you. Ok not really, but still it does tend to make me angry.

You forgot the "less" which is what I assume you meant seeing as the paments are halved. That is awesome.

She Beat John McCain in a Shot ContestCategory: politics
Not having any legitimate arguments as to why she should still be in the race or why her opponent is unfit to lead camp Clinton offers a new argument:
Hillary Clinton is the Only Candidate Who Can Drink John McCain Under the Table
Is this the funniest moment of the campaign, or the saddest?

Stop Interviewing Stupid People, Please.Category: politics
Why do they do it?
With this extended primary season I have spent many a Tuesday listening to the radio while at work. It is still way too early in the day for the news to be able to report anything, but they do anyway. They talk to someone from each candidate's office, they chat with someone from the state's election committee, and then they interview the most uninteresting people on the planet.
This is the person who says something like "I am voting for Barack Obama because it is time we had an African American president." or "Hillary Clinton. I think a woman president is overdue." or "I don't know who to vote for, I am torn."
1) Yes, getting a black man in office will be revolutionary. Any black man. As long as they are black.
2) Men are from Mars and women are from Venus. Mars is the god of war, and so a woman will get us out of Iraq.
3) You aren't sure yet? You do know this primary has been running for over half a year, right? Were you in a coma or something and just woke up?
But these are the people who invariable get interviewed for their 'man at the poll' sound clip. Why do they feel the need to do this. When there is a story about pork contamination they don't ask random people for their opinions on hot dogs.
ugh, can this election be over now?

I am cool with people voting for stupid reasons, I just don't know why they need to be interviewed.

I agree that #1 and #2 are dumb, but I disagree with #3. I personally find all three candidates, Obama, Clinton, and McCain compelling in their own individual ways, and this election's very unique in that I find it a very tough call as to what I'd want in the white house: unifying oratorial skills (Obama), strong political saavy (Clinton), or personal experience with controversial and unconventional wars (McCain).

This is fairly common. Most people, when pressed on why they want to vote for X candidate, have incredibly stupid responses... particularly when their interest in a candidate is more emotional than cerebral.

It was on HBO but they replayed it on Comedy Central all the time when I was in middle/high school; which is where I saw it.
For some reason I never saw that show at home, was it on some channel that cost money? My friend (e:iriesara) used to watch it and I would see it at her house sometimes. Plus, she always quoted these two sketches. I am not sure if I even ever saw them, or just relived them through her. The one was the kid who tries to weigh his head and see how much it would be if it were lamb and the bird lady with her, "right out of my body and onto my plate."
I heard they were going to be in town but completely forgot about it. I wasn't a fan of the show, but found the movie to be absolutely hilarious.
