internettery katsup
My life on the internets lately has been a little lax. First up, I enlisted myself in a flickr pool called 365 Days. The point is to take a picture of yourself once a day for a year. I'm focusing on trying to document what I'm doing every day as sort of a diary, so my photos so far are knitting intensive (and will probably remain so for the forseeable future). Also? I am really bad at committing to doing something EVERY DAY and I tend to misplace things like camera cords. So there's that. Anyway, here are my efforts so far.
I've also been loving last.fm radio recently. After travelling with the 'rents I thought I was over jazz for awhile, but I've loved some of the last.fm recommends while cataloguing at work. As long as I'm talking music, I might as well also share this ipod meme I picked up from Sarah over at pinktalk (after the jump):

my feet at work this morning
One year, eight months, and twenty-four days later, I'm back in heels. Also, my cameraphone is not of the highest quality.
Hi slingbacks! I've missed you!

kill me now
I stayed up way too late last night watching the election returns, but my perserverence did nothing to stem the tide of idiodic Idahoans. The whole state started the evening pink, and became redder as the night wore on. State, I am mad at you, except for Blaine and Latah counties (yes, Ada, you are on my shit list this morning. I'm hoping we can make up after the precinct level results are available and maybe I will just be on fire cranky with Meridan, but at this point I just don't know if we can still be friends.).
While my initial response is to repeat my annual declaration that I'm moving to San Francisco, my wise friend LG has a proposal that might actually make a difference--at least, I think it has had an impact in the aforementioned Blaine County. Her plan? I think the solution for Idaho is a massive influx of liberals. Hollywood has so many to spare. If Hollywood really wants to make a difference, they will implement this plan instead of all the other bullshit they are always spouting about. Even though I am certain that this would cause even more problems with ballooning property values, at least we might get some socially conscious leadership instead of geniuses like this to come up with some coping strategies.

gezhundeit!
Ever since returning from my vacation, I have suffered a staggering number of sneezes while sitting at my desk. Just earlier this morning after a giant kershnoozle, the person talking on the phone to my coworker asked if there was a dog barking in the library. I don't feel poorly. This behavior has not been marked anywhere outside of the library. The nasal eruptions are non-productive yet horrifically noisy. My obvious conclusion? I am allergic to work!
I'm sure it has nothing to do with the big, dusty piles of Stuff To Do by which I am surrounded. Never!

going politico
As you all better know already, next Tuesday is election day. This day only comes once a year and I don't want you to forget. If you want to complain about the powers that be (or applaud them, god forbid), you'd best be sporting that red white and blue "I VOTED" sticker. Now all you Idaho readers, I'm sure you know that I'm deeply ensconced in the Liberal Containment Zone, but even so it really seems like some non-District 19 Democrats actually have a shot this year--even on the national stage. Get ye to your polling places and PARTICIPATE.
If you need some more motivation, read what Velma has to say on the subject!

reason 234,234,237 i love shuffle
Every once in awhile a person is just sitting at their desk, click click clicking away and ignoring their coworker by listening to the song stylings of their ipod. And sometimes this makes them smile because something like the Swedish Chef Song starts playing.

too much crap
On the way to work this morning I heard a jingle on the radio that I could swear went something like, "Store More Shiiiiiiit, Store More Shiiiiiit". I think they are trying to sell sheds and the line is supposed to go "Store More Sheds", but I am still heartily amused.
