spam

I'm sure this is spam, and I know I shouldn't open it, but I really want to. It really looks like an actual email, with sentences and question marks and exclamation points and everything. Seiko tiramisu, that's just great.

In other news, I may be coming down with the flu.

You guys, I am so popular with the US Senate

And I am getting popular at the House of Representatives!

Okay, I did some research after my last post, and it seems that maybe the US Senate Sergeant at Arms ISP runs internet access for the whole senate. Maybe? Is that true, all you new readers? Are you from Senator Feingold's office? And by Senator Feingold, I mean the best senator to come out of Wisconsin [or anywhere] since Bob LaFollette. Seriously, and this information is important to my senate readers and all my other six readers--Russ Feingold is the best ever. I might actually join his steering committee for Milwaukee. My parents gave my info to someone from his campaign, and she emailed me and everything, but I am busy and also lazy and have not yet responded. And... I forget what my point was. Russ Feingold is awesome, I think.

And if anyone from Senator Feingold's office is reading, you are awesome. Also, I promise I am going to see about joining that steering committee. Also, I got my membership renewal email for the Progressive Patriots fund, and I am totally going to give you some dollars. Everyone should give money to the Progressive Patriots Fund!

To all my readers at the US Senate Sergeant at Arms Office

Hey there! I see you found my blog by searching "feingold." It says your ISP is "US Senate Sergeant at Arms;" does that mean you're from the Office of the Sergeant at Arms, or is that the ISP used by all Senate offices? If you really are from the Office of the Sergeant at Arms, what are you doing searching "feingold"? There is no way he has done anything wrong. You are at fault, sir. Or madam.

exciting news

I don't know about you, but the news that official Zubaz are back really just makes my morning.

Also, I got to go to the actual polling place and vote for the first time (absentee voting is kind of anticlimactic), plus I voted in the primaries for the first time (the absentee ballot deadline is just so early), and oh yeah, my candidate won! Haha! There's a first. Except for Feingold. And Doyle (ugh). My presidential candidate won! Round one, at least! Yeah!

i am so pretentious

So last week, I finally switched my Netflix subscription from my parents' credit card to my own (sorry Mom+Dad, I'm only a year or so late!), and I realized that if I'm gonna have to pay for this with my own hard-earned (maybe just 'earned') cash, I should actually, like, watch movies and return them and get more movies and stuff. Maybe this is what Mom+Dad meant by "learning the value of money"?

Anyway! I am horribly pretentious, and Nathan has been talking about foreign movies, like, NON-STOP*, so I was all "I should watch me some foreign movies," but I haven't really been watching movies for the past year or two, so I kind of drew a blank when it came to choosing actual movies. I stared at my queue for awhile, reordered it a little (read: put all the "Real World You Never Saw" DVDs at the bottom, I mean, deleted them, I mean, never had them in my queue to begin with!), and then just added Godard's entire oeuvre, because that is how I do.

The point of all this? I am apparently going to be watching this movie tomorrow/Wednesday before work. Exciting?


*apparently not too pretentious to say AND write "like" CONSTANTLY.
