IN DURING FUCKDISSHIT, also nationalist/racist party (who desperately tries to make people believe they're just here to "critically discuss immigration politics" as they put it) in parliament. Way to go? MEEEEEH.

And it seems I'll have to endure yet another 4-year period of this bloody right-bloc government. As for my own party, we seem to be shut out this time as well - a nice move to put the second instance of the Pirate Bay trial to begin 2 days (yes, TWO DAYS) after the elections - meaning we'll have our sparks starting to fly just a measly 2 days too late. Well played, as we say, or more accurately, they VERY MUCH don't want us in parliament, and have made sure to avoid drawing attention to anything that could raise any debate on our battlefields for well over half a year now. Hell yeah, mass media! 99% OWNED by the right-bloc elite! And we're not even subtle about the various ways used to screw with the results! Yeah, democracy is a cool guy, alright.

[/rage]

In any case, I also had pizza today. 'twas good.

If I have learned anything today, it's that I will be needing to speed up my plans quite a bit. Can't have the system falling apart around me while I still (sigh) depend on it, now can I?


Now. Let's move on and not talk politics for a while.
A long while, preferably.
(Unless, of course, something happens.)
(Which, undoubtedly, it will.)

And I still haven't finished Ar Tonelico...

I'M BACK, I'M ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!!!!!!!!!

You know, just been in Vermont... got a part time job as a server too, but I seem to have been laid off for the time being. Twas fun while it lasted though.

Welcome back Red we missed you. :,)

[Red-Machine]

I missed you too, Bella my dear.  Sorry to hear about you being laid off...

[Bella]

*huff huff puff puff* OMG I'm so shaky right now, I just got forced into an impromptu driving lesson. On a two-way winding mountain road. With the blinding sun in my eyes.  And then on the way back the sun was in the eyes of the drivers going to opposite way, so I had speeding blind death-missiles coming MY way. D:

I kissed the ground when I got out.

I'M BAAAAAACK, I'M ALIIIIIIIIIIVEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

@Red: Nature of the job, I was just filling in for somebody who got injured. When she got better, my boss didn't need me (though I might be able to help out in a couple of weeks again...)

@Kari: I'm living in the best part of NH, a Bostonian enclave in the central of the state. In the mountains. Near the lakes region. We live in perfect peace and harmony with each other and nature~

I like Macs because 1) OSX is a Multics-descendant via Unix 2) I always wanted a Unixbox and the closest I got before was using Linux, but now I can't use Linux 'cause I FUKKENDAMNHELLHATEIT and 3) My iMac is the only computer I've used that hasn't given me FUKKENDAMNHELLSHIT.

Think of it this way: I've had abusive, dysfunctional, depressing relationships with PCs all my life. I have happy, fun, supportive relationship with my Mac. Now, I'm not saying that YOU should use a Mac. In fact, I will never tell you to use a Mac, no less than I would tell you what you should wear or who you should associate with, what political or religious affiliation you should have. Computers are a reflection of our selves and personalities and everybody's is different. This is one of the things I F.D.H. hate about Linux, the community is so gottdamned sure that Linux is the best OS for everybody when it's actually rather hostile toward anyone who doesn't want to spend hours bushwhacking through help forums and using a command line.

Back to the most important subject at hand though, OH MY GOD I JUST PILOTED A DEATH-ROCKET UP AND DOWN EL CAMINO DE LA MUERTE W/O GETTING KILLED. I AM SO HAPPPPPPPY!

Easy on the not-quite-dead-yet ecstasy there, bells. -w-;

Also, fun stuff:

When working elections, you sometimes get to keep check of the Voting Rolls (that is, the great and holy piece of paper that keeps track of every person in the district and whether or not they've voted) and take care of filling things in. While doing this, you come upon some pretty funny things...names, that is.

Meet Mr. Nyström (an ordinary swedish name, for those of you not in the know). His friends call him by his first name, Hans (also an ordinary swedish name), and he lives outside the country since some time back.

Hans Nyström isn't his full name though. The name in the rolls, fully printed out in all its glory, is...
*drumroll*
Hans Geoffrey Phid Phad Nyström.

I mean. Come on. Hans Geoffrey, ok, I can take that. But PHID PHAD? What the fuckmahellit sort of name is that? Where is it from, anyway, and who the hell came up with the bright idea of naming their kid something like that (or, in the event of a name change, who the flying duck is THAT lame?) anyway?

Needless to say, lulz were had by much of the staff, myself very included. -w-

@nej: had fun at the polls, i see. and phiddle-phaddle, rofl-fukking-mao. xDDD sorry to hear about your party, though, humans as a species seem to be pure greed and corruption sometimes.

@bells: reminds me of when my sis forced me to drive from my grandparent's to the courthouse, and from the courthouse to target. i survived, and only screwed up on three things: 1. i missed the turn into the courthouse and had to pull over and let her go in; 2. she distracted me so i ended up taking a corner at 40 mph; and 3. i parked crooked when we got to target.
good for you. ^^ hopefully you get your licence, which i have yet to. >___<

also, remember this: you're much better than you give yourself credit for. i know i am. ^^

@red: OMG I THOUGHT YOU DIED. WELCOME BACK MR. ABSENTEE BRIT. you've missed alot, some of which you'd kick yourself if you knew you had. xDD

@stew: recently i've been blessed with the fact that i haven't been hit up for cash by anyone but family in the past few days, maybe cause i keep my eyes down, keep an angry air, and wore my boots today (fixed, yay!). and the T is mostly reliable, albeit cramped, hot, and smells a little weird.

but the stretch of track between charles/MGH and kendall on the red line has a wonderful view. :3 (something other than tunnel, yay! xD )

considering getting a DA and a blog and a twitter. maybe once i get my laptop back. :3

[stewartsage]

Join the new media world Kari!

That is quite the name Nej.

The usual, new OS-tans, thread perversion, weird dreams, etc, etc.

So, today I had another driving-without-fear-lesson. And by lesson I mean being told, "NOW GET BEHIND THE WHEEL AND DRIVE TO OUR HOUSE W/O KILLING US WOMAN". Did I mention our house (the work-in-progress) is up a narrow steep winding mountain road ? .v.

Tomorrow, it's off to the Centre of the Universe again! There's some srs bsns that needs to be taken care of, but then it's about a three hour gap between that and the time we go to the theatre. Imma see if I can't get the family to visit the Lexington Battle Green, since, well, I try to get them to go there every time we drive through Western Boston.

There is a nun on the television, specifically the Catholic channel from Pittsburgh.  She's fascinating...

[NejinOniwa]

I am always amazed at the fact that such a thing as religion channels can actually exist.

[stewartsage]

Why not? They shell out the money for a license, broadcasting equipment, and the channel like any other television channel.  Albeit I find them on the whole dull or disturbing, it's not terribly amazing to me that enough people watch to keep them on the air.

[NejinOniwa]

Well, not for you, perhaps - I suppose it's me living in this secularized nation that's the odd ball out here, as so often else. -w-;

[stewartsage]

I haven't slept more then two or three hours since Sunday, immovable objects are starting to move and I had a conversation with a soda machine thinking it was my Stats professor.  On the other hand the perfect amount of caffeine needed to keep me conscious and alert has been determined.
