ich liebe sie, meine gliederungspunkte.

rain, i love you. thank you for making the words, "thank goodness i haven't washed my car in like 8 months" possible.

i've been feeling a bit serious and pretentious after my last post.

for the record, i originally wrote an "n'shit" in yesterday's post, but then edited it out. granted, i replaced it with the much more lenten "and shit." i'm not sure a) why i wrote "n'shit" in the first place, or b) why i decided i should take it out.

after last night's Frontline: The Invasion of Iraq," i have a new political crush on marc garlasco. he served in the defense intelligence department from 97-03, resigning to work with the human rights watch on the conduct of war and civilian casualty analysis after major combat ended in iraq. he's witty and sort of has an eric-from-that-70s-show air about him.

today, i will shake the skinny little hand of U.S. congressman dennis kucinich. i would love for this man to be our president. also, he's vegan, and we could totally share clothes. if you're in san diego, he's having a rally from 4-6:30 at 5th and L/Harbor downtown this afternoon, and is speaking at USD's Institute for Peace and Justice from 7:30-9.

speaking of kucinich, erik voted absentee yesterday. he's going to be a "troubleshooter" on election day, and thus wouldn't be able to vote in his precinct. because he's not registered democrat, i was saddened to learn he couldn't vote in the democratic presidential primary. therefore, our "family vote" didn't go to kucinich. or any democrat for that matter.

around 6pm last night, i got a voicemail from a fabulous friend saying, "julia!!!! you have to listen to the debate! can i get an AMEN for the reverend?!" sadly, i couldn't watch the debate, but i can't help but wonder what our country would be like under the reverend al sharpton.

yesterday, my coworkers and i had an e-mail rock-paper-scissors tournament to determine our lunch location. joel tried to cheat, and i ended up losing the championship match, his paper brutally wrapping my rock.

this year, i hope to visit the following cities: portland (in the form of moving there), atlanta, washington DC, and one or more of the following international locales: paris, dublin/doblin, the seychelles, tokyo/kyoto (the anagram lovers tokyo), and tuscany/umbria. first, i need to work on the money and vacation time factors.

since the bullets are all about baring the soul, i admit that the phrase "i need to look professional, granola, and fabulous at the same time," went through my head when getting dressed today. you know, for dennis.

Office Creepy Guy, who sends emails in size 18 bright blue comic sans text, is actually making his way back on my good list. i just got a really witty, tongue-in-cheek email from him. yes, in size 18 bright blue comic sans text. i'll take what i can get.

can anyone see the little favicon thingy next to the address bar? blake made it for me. i can't see it, but i'm sure it's pretty.
that is all.
