batskeetsThe way to a WoW player's heart is through his stomach... with an insanely-detailed birthday cake! The entire thing is edible, too. Wow!
Return of Plaguewatch 2007: On the upswing, it seems. It is freaking COLD out there, though, and that is not helping my ability to cope with much of anything. :p I had two potential subletters scheduled to come by the house yesterday, but they both bailed on me, rrrgh. I did my taxes while waiting for them, though, and I'm all excited about my refund.
Me and Ben had dinner with Joey at Applebee's last night, and then we went to Jackalope to check out Guitar Hero night! I got soundly owned in the Medium bracket, but that's kind of my fault because I didn't ask for lefty flip. ;p I also got beat by the guy who basically decimated everybody in the bracket, heh. There were a fair number of people hanging around and participating, and there was a second setup at the other end of the place for practicing on, so that's pretty cool. I think I'll be rallying some troops to come with, the next time I go. :)
In other news, I've made comment previously, that I was a bit concerned about the Democrats' ability to win the presidency in 2008, when the two candidates with the most buzz seem to be a relatively young-and-inexperienced black guy (Barack Obama), and a woman (The Hillary). The idealist in me hopes that being a minority wouldn't hurt Obama that much, and I think I'd be less worried about a female candidate if it wasn't Hillary. Still, with those thoughts in mind, I was a little surprised to read this:
"_Romney may find his Mormon faith an obstacle with many voters. One-quarter of people questioned say they would not vote for a Mormon candidate, compared with 8 percent who say they would not vote for a woman and 3 percent for a black candidate, according to a Newsweek poll in December." (quote from here)
Yes, apparently, America thinks Mormons are scarier than ladies and minorities! ;p
That's all! I must procure lunch before my hunger drives me to madness.

Date: 2007-02-28 03:21 am (UTC)While I'm not the hugest fan of the Mormon religion for its homophobic ways, what really creeped me out about Romney was his criticism of the courts for interfering with laws, as though unconstitutional laws were good. WTF?
