sunday night office shift
I am in a fabulous mood tonight. Sure, I'm stuck in the office til 10 and since no one comes by on a Sunday night I'm incredibly bored, but I'm still in a good mood. All because, yesterday I got so much done! I got up early (well early for a saturday, which is before noon :D) I did tons of homework (research, reading and paper writing), I cleaned my room and got my laundry done-- there is no better feeling than knowing that I have clean socks to wear tomorrow. I am now on my 11th hour in the office this weekend. After 6 hours last night I was tired and frusterated, but I've managed to make it through the night with a little help from my friends.
As a closing note to tonight's post I'd like to thank all the little people who made tonight's office shift bearable:
Kris Lange for playing the random question game with me
Aldo for telling me Brent Guy was fired-- and Justin for suggesting Stew Morrill take his place
Sharolee and Tess for texting me
The ward prayer crowd who said hi on their way there and on the way back
Jon and Ben for giving me something political to debate about
Everyone who recently updated their profile picture or status on facebook (for me to stalk)
and last, but certainly not least, Ms. Kelsha Bundy who texted me this joke :
why don't kangaroo mom's like the rain?
Cause then the kids have to play inside!
Thanks all!

are we human or are we dancer?
I am obsessed with the new Killers song Human. It is amazing. After listening to it 15 times today I decided to find out about the lyrics. After a little googling I found out that the lyrics are a reference to a comment made by Hunter S. Thompson. He said that America was raising a generation of dancers. (I couldn't find the exact quote). Thompson was a well known journalist who commit suicide in 2005. I haven't read much of his stuff, but Hunter was well known for spending time with the Hell's Angels and writing articles and eventually a book on the things that they did. Thompson is the creator of Gonzo journalism, which is where the journalist is so involved in a story that they are the central figure in the article.
The best way to describe Thompson is through his words, so here are some his most famous quotes:
Myths and legends die hard in America. We love them for the extra dimension they provide, the illusion of near-infinite possibility to erase the narrow confines of most men's reality. Weird heroes and mould-breaking champions exist as living proof to those who need it that the tyranny of 'the rat race' is not yet final."—The Great Shark Hunt, 1979
"We are turning into a nation of whimpering slaves to Fear—fear of war, fear of poverty, fear of random terrorism, fear of getting down-sized or fired because of the plunging economy, fear of getting evicted for bad debts or suddenly getting locked up in a military detention camp on vague charges of being a Terrorist sympathizer."—"Extreme Behavior in Aspen," February 3, 2003
"The Sixties were an era of extreme reality. I miss the smell of tear gas. I miss the fear of getting beaten."—Independent on Sunday, October 12, 1997
"Absolute truth is a very rare and dangerous commodity in the context of professional journalism."—Rolling Stone, February 15, 1973
"I feel the same way about disco as I do about herpes."—Speech, University of Colorado, 1977

cleaning checks
It seems like every week this semester I have become more busy. The readings are piling up, the papers and projects are neverending and I still have work, my church calling and friends to factor in. This morning I had to register for next semesters classes. It took me a very long time to figure out exactly which classes I should take. (definitely managed to fit in a yoga class!)
After talking to my advisor this week, I found out that I could graduate this May if I wanted. To do it I would have to drop my minor and the honors program and start working on my thesis immediately... It still makes more sense for me to wait and graduate next December, but I was pretty tempted. Especially after my long day filled with classes, meetings, SI, homework and cleaning checks. It would be so nice to be done in May. Although, if I were done then I would have to decide what to do next.
I'm starting to check out grad schools and law schools. There are actually a couple of schools that would let me get a masters in gender studies with my JD in just 4 years, which would be pretty sweet. But it would be 4 more intense years of school, which seems like a lot....
I feel so old. Talking about grad school and law school. I can't believe how close I am to be done with my undergrad. Earlier today I was thinking about my freshman year, I can't believe it's only been 2 years since I first got up here. It's crazy how much can change in just a couple of years. I've definitely learned a lot at school.
Anyway, that's enough of my late night rambling. Here is a random video that is very entertaining. How many of the pictures can you recognize? Billy Joel Video

Election Day 2008
Finally election day has arrived. This 2+ year campaign has finally gotten to me. I'm sick of the poll numbers, the ads and the signs. I'm tired of forwards telling me that Obama is a terrorist and a socialist, and that Mccain is a rage-a-holic and an elitist.
In all honesty I think Obama is too liberal, he lacks experience and his foreign policy is weak.
While I don't buy that Mccain is a true "maverick" he does make rash decisions, i.e. Sarah Palin. While he entered the race as a moderate, he sold out in order to gain votes from the conservative base.
I went back and forth and back and forth on my decision of who to vote for. I looked at third party candidates and found no one worth voting for--
I did finally pick someone and I feel ok about that choice.
Now I'm just anxious for the results. See I'm not cheering either candidate on tonight, just waiting to hear who will be president. If polls and things are all right, Obama's got it in the bag, however I wouldn't be surprised if things were closer than expected.
