Are they fucking kidding me?? Aren't there enough issues with the word feminism already without throwing Sarah Palin into it. This whole should she be VP with 5 kids or not, that's not feminism. She can't represent feminism when she refuses to believe in it. Pro-life, anti-ERA, anti-Equal Pay Act, the woman doesn't want equality.
And let's be honest here, it's not un-feminist to say maybe she should not run for VP with a disabled baby and a pregnant daughter, because I would think exactly the same thing about a guy. I mean, that's a lot of crap to be airing out in front of the entire nation, and while being VP may not mean much, McCain is really really old, and I don't want anyone (okay I don't want him either) under him who can't actually handle the responsibility. And man or woman, having all that going on with your kids has to be just a bit distracting.

All right, I'm done. Going back to work.

2. Did I talk too much? Too litte? Just right?
3. Did you find it to be serious, meaningful, useful?
4. Do you now believe I am an idiot? Or otherwise think less of me?

And so much work to do. Already behind on thesis. And had to go and take the hard English class and not find an easy one.
I think I made the right choice about living situation, because I miss McKelvy, but I miss Carlos more. And if I were alone now and not surrounded by roommates etc, I would probably already be laid out in a bath tub or something. Not that things are bad, just busy. And the business is good because it makes me feel less lonely.

Mmmph.

Enter liquor store, quickly locate girly wine coolers with delicious sounding name, and cheap plastic bottle of decent vodka.
At counter--Cashier looks me up and down, "...Do you ever not get carded?"
I think I had an eager little smile on my face.
Me--"Actually its my birthday!" Shoved ID in his face
C- "Let's take a look, yes, it is your birthday--Happy Birthday. It doesn't get more exciting than this. All the excitement is before."
Depressing!

Two: "I'll have the pablorita frozen" Fumble with purse for ID.
Waitress- "Its okay, I believe you"

Take that Wine and Spirits Shope Man, once so far in my life I have not been IDed.
And it was good because I didn't reveal the fact that it was my birthday, although some other people couldn't keep their tongues--and I had to endure singing. But also free dessert.

(Reverse the one and the two for 21, or wait awhile and maybe I'll have some more exploits...)

Anyway. Room is hovel. Have never lived in such a small space before. Roommates friendly but elusive--we have no tv, so nothing to gather around. Also, none of the electrical outlets work. But, is not terrible. I'm trying to get used to Lafayette without Carlos. So maybe the fall will be a little easier.

Back to work!

Which is a blessing, because I have some angst to get off my chest. Carlos graduated today. And I am depressed (and sun burned) as hell.

I shouldn't be. Because he'll be pretty close by next year. But I am. I cried so hard last night. I think he thought I was crazy.But I couldn't help it.


But my parents are here, and now I must pretend to not be on the brink of tears. Etc.
