Do you have an idea I could borrow?

Today a friend of mine (we'll call him Jason, because that's his name) approached me asking if I had a string. I said no, and before I could ask, "What for?", he pulled a stray hair off my shirt and used it to floss his teeth. Any comments on that? I was surprised, I'll tell you what. He did also tell me that my hair smells good, so that helped a little.

Also, it's hard to find a picture of a male flossing his teeth. Apparently more people would like to see females flossing their teeth.


In other news, the Republicans will probably lose the House (at least) to the Democrats this fall. I can only say it serves them right. They have a low, low approval rating. They aren't using their power effectively. There have been so many scandals recently, including Mark Foley, Jack Abramoff, and more. Maybe Republicans should lose power. I'm not saying this because I believe the Republicans will come roaring back with a huge victory in 2008 after a defeat this fall. Once the Democrats get the House they'll probably keep it for a while. But perhaps one party controlling both House and Senate is a recipe for corruption and should not be allowed to happen.

By no means are Democrats any better. Instead of working towards solutions, in many cases they only continue to point out Republican shortcomings. I don't believe in the Democratic agenda. I am completely against abortion. But what do Republicans believe in anymore, besides the bottom line? Where's the vision? I am a real conservative, but I don't like to claim being a real Republican.

Forget Hillary Clinton or John McCain for President 2008. I'd like to see that nice lady down the street run, or the guy that works in my grocery store. He seems pretty smart. We'll form a new party called the Democrats-And-Republicans-Have-Become-Too-Corrupt-And-Lost-All-Focus-And-We-Want-To-Help-The-People-And-Keep-The-Country-Safe-And-Prosperous-Party. I know it's a long name, but we could use an acronym, like D&RHBTC&LAF&WWTHTP&KTCS&P party. Anyways, you get the idea, right?


Supercentenarian is a big fancy word for someone who lived to be over 110 years old. I hope I never live that long.


The Communist Manifesto was published on my birthday, 1848.


Another thought I had: In Sci Fi shows, including one of my favorites, Battlestar Gallactica, why do space craft have wings? And when they're in space, why are they all shown as being right-side up? It seems to me that if we were to have an actual portrayal of space craft in space, some would be right side up, upside down, sideways, and all different ways. Because really, which way is up when you are in a vaccum? Actually in Battlestar I don't recall seeing wings on space craft, but I'm pretty sure they show all space craft usually oriented in the same plane.


I got married today to a gay man who works for the CIA. We live on 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, Apt 2. We have a joint medical insurance policy.


This is the season for scary movies. In a continued effort to desensitize myself to frightening things (because in all reality I am jumpy as heck and scare extremely easily, to the point of embarrassment; just ask the people sitting next to me when I saw The Grudge last week how many times I screamed, covered my eyes, and spoke to the movie characters as if they could hear me), I have set them all to record on the DVR. So far I've seen the first Halloween movie, and so I've penned a haiku or two (or four):

In truth I was bored
Mike Meyer's never goes fast
He walks when killing

Mike's face is but a
Bill Shatner mask painted white
Believe it or not

Jamie Lee Curtis
Smarter than most Horror girls
She was pretty brave

Of course she must know
The first rule of horror films:
Slutty girls die first



P.S. I went out on a limb and used a semi-colon. I'm pretty sure I used it wrong. If anyone can grammatically edit that for me, I'd appreciate it!
