The Media are Idiots!

When you hear the STUPID questions asked by Tim Russert and Brian Williams that are so NOT about the issues, you actually feel sorry for Obama and Clinton.

The difference between Obama and Clinton is that Obama wants to laugh in the reporters' faces and Clinton takes the question seriously.

By the way, "rejecting" something means to dismiss it as inappropriate. "Denouncing" something means to reject it as wrong or evil. So denouncing is actually stronger than rejecting, dummy!

Ella's Funny

I woke Ella up from her nap...she's sleeping right beside me on the couch...to show her this and she didn't even flinch...she can't stand other dogs. What she did do is sit up, walk over my lap, and look behind the laptop screen. Confirming her suspicions that I was indeed messing with her, she walked back over my lap, laid back down, and is now asleep again.

God, I love this dog. Remind me to show you pictures of her with no hair.

I Bought a New Computer...

...for $94 dollars. Yup, you read correctly. I bought it on eBay to be exact. I was a bit nervous, but I booted up it up for the first time yesterday at the library and it works great!

Well...it's not really a new computer per se, it's more like a new operating system, but it has the same effect. Due to the lovely dual processor that lives inside my little laptop, I'm able to run a PC on my Mac. And it's the real deal. You choose Windows instead of Mac OSX when the computer starts up and it looks like a real PC, with the Start button in the corner and everything. I bought Windows XP 'cuz Vista still scares the crap out of me, and all seems to be well. It's so strange! After almost a year of being a Mac girl, it's weird to remember that all my applications won't spread themselves across my screen if I move the cursor to a corner. That closing a window actually shuts down the program. And I can confirm that Windows is not nearly as pretty as OSX (especially not Leopard)...no, it is not.

The good thing is, I'll be able to watch Netflix movies now, join the web cam feed of my favorite podcast, and...this is the best part...I'll be able to run the statistical software needed for my quantitative methods class! Wheuheu!

Happy Valentine's Day?

Luckily, TM and I are celebrating on Saturday because I have spent this holiday completing my Intermediate Statistics homework. I got home about 30 minutes ago...very romantic! This only leaves me a few minutes to celebrate my love for TM, my friends, and me. Happy Valentine's Day to all that I love.

"We've Earned This One"

The semester has begun...Harvard owns my ass once again. I'm starting this semester on much stronger footing than I did in the fall. I don't feel overwhelmed, I'm much better organized, and I see the forest for the trees a lot better.

Unfortunately, TM and I have a lot more work to do to rebuild what we have, but we're taking it one day at a time, and that's working well. We are enjoying each other very much and are communicating...maybe not as much as I would like, but I'm getting to say everything I need to.

Anyway, we're celebrating our second Valentine's Day this Saturday...the first time I've celebrated this holiday two years in a row!...and I've told him that we have fought for this holiday this year. We have earned our love celebration this time.
