The Ancient Undergrad

Watched the big presidential debate. It just reinforced my support for Kerry. The difference in the level of dialogue and knowledge between him and Georgie is so apparent to me. I had the biggest laughs when Bush was asked about what he had done specifically to improve the environment. It made him look like a stammering jiggling bowl of jello. The best he could come up with was he has a program to clean up brown spots in the ghetto. I felt Kerry nailed him well there. Bushy’s answer to the stem cell question made me see red. Those cell lines he mentioned don’t work. They are old and non viable. I was impressed yet again at the depth of Kerry’s understanding during his response to that shit that just streamed out of Bush’s face. This isn’t republican vs. democrat, it is the ignorant and deceived vs. the intelligent and informed.

Ahhh, screwing around right now setting something up that I don’t really have to set up. Wasting time I don’t have. I just need to get to the library to study. Nervous energy right now. I want to go get some work done then come home to watch the presidential debate before work. Met someone in class who had Kino’s Travels on her laptop desktop wallpaper. Kind of a fun little moment when I asked her about it. Alright! I’m off. But first… Ill make more coffee. Listened to a lot of Jurassic Five today. I remember when they were pretty obscure, their last album broke them into the mainstream though. They’re still cool. I don’t latch on to bands that get hugely popular later too often but it does happen. It happened with Nickelback I am embarrassed to say. I remember when they were a little Indie rock band from Western Canada. Their video for Leader of Men was this low budget thing that aired on Indie spotline every once and a while on MuchMusic. It had them grabbing all their TV’s and phones and electronic stuff from their house and burning it all in a big bonfire in front of their house, the type of video that I eat up, for its anti-consumer undertone. Then they got big and signed and remade that video into some shitty dark boring more big budget piece of crap. The track Leader of Men still kicks ass, but hearing any other Nickelback makes me want to puke due to the radio whoring.
