Here I Am

1) Listening to the podcast of today's Talk of the Nation and the discussion on health care and all this extra crap that they're putting women though as far as paperwork for abortion/reproductive rights is ridiculous. And why do we need this extra paperwork? What will it be used for? I've already lost any real enthusiasm for this bill - I'm not sure what it actually accomplishes. And I really want to know why the democrats (technically my party, though I lean more toward the green/progressive party) are a bunch of cowards.

2) My yuletide fic got posted around 7pm and I felt massive relief. Now here's to hoping that my recipient enjoys the story.

3) Dear NBC, It's not too late to stop airing the stupid Jay Leno show every night and bring back Life. I miss it greatly. As I rewatch season one, I realize how much more the world needs of Charlie Crewes for he is awesome and Zen. And Reese kicks butt. And Ted is Ted. And yes, I just want more. How could you do this to me? No love, Me.

4) Considering the amount of money we pay in taxes in New Jersey, I really would like to know why the plowing services suck so badly. Because our traffic (and drivers) aren't insane enough, let's add roads that aren't really plowed so we can all go careening into snow banks.

5) I'm in the mood for some Criminal Minds, but a very specific Criminal Minds episode. Is this normal? Are other people so addicted to certain crime dramas that they're like, "I want to watch the one where Luke Perry is a crazy cult leader!"

6) Just started reading the Hunger Games. My sister and I each picked a book we loved to make the other read. She's reading The Book Thief, which I highly recommend to everyone because it was amazing and original. So far, I'm enjoy the Hunger Games, but I haven't made it very far yet. Will get back to you on that one. I've been reading so many nonfiction books lately that it's nice to read some fiction again.

7) Who wants to work for me tomorrow? It's just gross outside. I wish I was allowed to telecommute. You'd think working for an nonprofit agency for the environment would encourage such things, but that's only for other companies.
