Being lazy

Heading out to Harvard Square for a quick drink with a friend. I've been stuck in the house all day with my cat and Melissa's dog. They're getting along ok. Riley is now sleeping on my pants. A dog is a lot of work and I'm not use to it. I need this little break.

I've watched way too much tv today. I watched Legends of the Fall and then Pride and Prejudice. I cried during both. I'm a sap who will fully admit right here to crying while watching movies.

Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong time. I could watch period movies all day. I love the dresses, the dancing, the "courting". Then I remember how I like antibiotics and the inernet.

I still have the house to myself which is nice. I hung out with the bar tender, saw my family, slept a lot, watched movies, made pizza. I think I've had a successful Thanksgiving break.

What is going on with the animals

Ok I don't know what it is with this week and dead animals but it's pretty depressing.

Let's start back at the beginning.

Wednesday night I'm driving to book club (or drink wine and eat food club) with my roommate and some how we started talking about the old rail road tracks and giant abandoned warehouse behind our street. Meg tells me that it use to be a slaughter house and meat packing plant up until the 80s and the tracks were used to cart animals to their death! Property prices were really cheap back then because you could hear the animals. There is no way I could ever live on my street with that going on. I don't care if someone threw a house key at me and said I could live there for free. I'd be crying myself to sleep. I believe the warehouse will be torn down and built into condos. I'm sorry but I'm not having the ghost of dead cows mooing at me in the middle of the night. I wouldn't feel comfortable living in a converted slaughter house.

I was already pretty upset by this news but then I get on the T yesterday and there are posters everywhere of a bob cat stuck in a trap. It was an ad against fur. (Which I completely agree with. No need to be wearing dead animal but that's just me). I was ready to start crying on the T. Not the poor cat! Nooooo!!!

Today I was looking at some old news papers that the attorney who founded the law firm I work for had in his office. He passed away during the summer so his office is getting cleaned out. There was an article in an old paper with an adorable little pig on the front rubbing up against a tree. "That was his pig" my co-worker told me. "How cute" I exclaimed. "Yea, he ate her." What!!! Why?

This is just too much bad animal karma going on here. I think I need to look at some LoL cats or watch the Mark Wahlberg talks to animals snl skit..

So Diddy won't kill me

No I have not voted yet, yes I will be voting after work. I'm not a morning person and since my brain does not start functioning until about 10:30 a.m. I would probably vote for Diddy. Could you imagine him as president? I would imagine his winning speech would be like one giant rap video.

Anywho I can't wait for this election to be over and done with. I feel like I need a break from the "liberal media elite". I'm sure tonight will be 24/7 election coverage.

There has been some talk in Massachusetts about Deval Patrick taking a position in Obama's cabinet. He has said repeatedly that he will stay in Massachusetts as Governor. I can see him making a run for the white house at some point but he would be wise to not leave Massachusetts yet as he just got elected. Yes I am Ginny, political advisor now.

I'm heading to my mom's tonight to visit with Mr. Binx (my mom's cat) and my mom of course. This is AFTER I vote of course.

P.S. If Sarah Palin is our VP I'm moving to Canada.

I can see Russia from my house

I have the perfect Halloween costume. I'm going to be Sarah Palin in a helicopter and my friend Melissa can be a wolf that I hunt from the air.

I'll bring a nice batch of moose stew to the party just to make it really authentic.

Please don't let this woman be second in command!

I think this article expresses my feelings on Sarah Palin as McCain's VP choice pretty well.

As a woman McCain must think I'm very gullible. Vote for McCain because he has a woman on the ticket. Sarah Palin's lack of experience and political views are frightening. I'm not voting for people who want to diminish woman's rights and don't consider global warming a serious growing problem.Palin's view on sexual education is laughable to me.

My mother did not preach abstinence. My mother warned me about the consequences of sex and asked that if I did consider it to be safe. Guess what, I wasn't having sex at 17.

I hope people come to their senses in November and help save our country.
