and if I had a nickel for every last dime I'd have half the time..."
--Modest Mouse!--
I donate plasma tommorroww, and it's Nik's birthday, so we'll be the same age for a few weeks here. Today I walked Jessi, went to Fahrenheit 9/11 again but with Rachel, Rachel, Bekah & Glynis instead of just Evan & Bekah. Evan went MIA, so i ate all his ice cream.
I really like Fahreennnnnnnn9/11 (as i've mentioned) but it's really stressful. Sorry i'm such a moody gal, kids, i'm over it for now now. Does ya'll lots of good. I especially liked the sing along i missed the first time due to a bathroom break. Our leaders should get together an album, maybe they'd suck at recording less than they suck at foreign policy. If avril lavigne & co. can make an album, it can't be that hard.
I've been very uninspired by our current political climate, but after reading an interview with Micheal Moore (in Playboy of all places) and the current issue of Seed (which rocks, incidently) i have less aversion to mister kerry.
I must look further into the matter, but Kerry has a few very strong things going for him:
1. some cronie in the Nixon administration said "We must stop this guy [kerry] before he becomes another Ralph Nadar,"
2. William McDonough, one of my personal heroes, endorsed him
3. he has a decent environmental record
I really hate people who vote single issue, such as everybody who voted Bush '00 because of his antiabortion position, but i am admittedly pretty much single issue. Voting single-issue is naive and irresponsible, especially if everything else that person stands for/slouches around at doesn't help you/your country.
There is a good chance environmental issues will turn out to be important in this election, as i feel they should have been all along. Bush couldn't have a worse record, and Kerry is posed to be America's greenest president yet.
Now all he needs is some good ideas about Iraq, the economy, education, the budget and so on. hm. lookin' into it....argh.
