Best headline of the day: "Cheney breaks key hunting rule".

Yeah, "do not shoot people in the face" probably is rather important.


But in other news, I have had way too much energy lately. It's like being hyper constantly, except without the distraction of that. My energy applies to reading scientific articles just as well as it does to running around screaming techno lyrics (which is all I've listened to for the last few weeks. New mp3s are always welcome, by the way). Although it's kinda strange be quite so enthusiastic. I feel all, "Yeah, evolutionary archaeaology is the best theory ever, motherfuckaaaaaaas! Let's go, you and me, right now: let's debate artifacts types as essentialist categories or arbitrary materialist definitions! What, bitch!"

Which is fun. But probably not normal.

I've also had a deep desire to find a pair of rollerblades, which is sort of pointless, because it's too cold to skate. And I haven't skated in years, anyway. But I keep thinking about it, and I found a pair tonight at a thrift store for only $5, so obviously I had to buy them.

Things I've learned so far: rollerblading is not like bike-riding. Once upon a time, I used to be good at this, but apparently you can forget how to rollerblade. Hopefully I've managed to get to the point where I don't look entirely ridiculous at least.

Now I just need to use this energy to write my piece for this week's stagesoflove

That's almost the best headline of the day. But I'd argue that the real best headline of the day, actually spotted on CNN within the past few hours, is, "Cheney's Got A Gun." I'm just waiting for somebody to release a full version with appropriate lyrics.

Ha! That really is great. The Daily Show's version was 'Dead-Eye Dick', but they don't count, being a comedy show and all.

Ah, yes, the procrastination of stagesoflove. ^_^ Needless to say, you're not alone. ^.^

And you know you're in America when the general reaction to one of our country's leaders accidentally shooting his friend in the face is not really one of shock and horror, but rather sarcasm and vague acceptance. Which is the case as far as I can see it, based entirely on LJ and thus about as reliable as 84.5% of statistics.

Hee. Hopefully I'll do it tonight, but who knows.

Yeah, I haven't seen anyone who's been actually upset by the news either. Though rachelmanija's post (http://rachelmanija.livejournal.com/277103.html) wins for best reaction I've heard yet.

Better do it soon...they're due today. :P

I know, I know. I've just been busy.

if I actually get skates we could skate together

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Dude, we should. Even though I suck.

But if you want some cheap ones, the Good Will on North High had a bunch for just a few dollars.

[shes-unreal.livejournal.com]

Well I want to get speed skates specifically so I have to look for them in special places.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Ah, okay. Well, if you get some, let me know!
