my city is still breathing back in the saddle |
Friday, April 04, 2003 ok, I should post. especially because Duncan said I should in my guestbook, even though I bitched about his employer in an earlier post. But, honestly, I have nothing to post about. I have chained myself to my computer (where I am listening to dj shadow and designing a poster presentation on german hip hop if anyone really cares. You see I have to get this poster presentation done by monday, so I'd really like to get it done now so I don't have to worry about it and can have a fun weekend. But I really don't feel like doing it.. last night kb and I sat in her living room with a pitcher of vodka paralyzer and watched survivor. it was good, I needed to sit around drinking and watching trashy tv. I recommend it to anyone. but now I feel guilty and must get work done. I have this new found addiction to qr 77, our local talk radio station. it gets me nice and angry in the morning, ready to face the day with that scowl and bitter edge that many have grown to love. Rutherford, the guy that does the 4 hour long morning show (how they can manage to get 20 hours a week of dumb people calling in I will never understand), had this guy call in yesterday morning while I was driving to school. He made me nice and angry. He was all concerned because he was about to move to virginia to get married and he didn't think he would be able to get his visa for the US because of the canadian government's stance on iraq. so he goes on to say how he was talking to his wife-to-be's boss, who, incidentaly, was considering expanding his business to Canada, but has decided that he won't because he can't understand why we elect such stupid people, or something along those lines. My only response was that at least we can figure out how to fill out the ballot to elect these stupid people, unlike in other unnamed democracies where the guy that technically lost the election gets to be president. Plus, isn't that what democracy's all about, electing stupid people to be in charge? Representing the general population? OK, I guess I'm America bashing here and I don't mean to, there's lots of smart Americans. But still.. this comment got me all riled, but then again, that's why I listen to talk radio, I guess. On another note, I managed to catch some Dr. Laura last night while driving. Lucky me. Dr. Laura doens't seem to understand the concept of the double day. It makes me angry. I'll stop there, as I could go on about Dr. Laura for a while, and this is becoming a really long post. posted by kim | 3:42 p.m.|
