Politics, Dutch, health
Politics:
Hmm Insomnia posted yet another interesting post, I'll just let you read his post here instead of ranting about it myself as he rants far better than I do ;) But basically, it seems that voters in predominately black areas of NC received calls explaining they only needed to sign and return their voter packets -- WITHOUT VOTING, to be eligible to vote. In other words a. they clearly think these people are stupid and b. this woman's organization targeted mostly black voters trying to suppress their votes. I'm a news junkie and haven't seen it on mainstream national news yet so, errm... wtf?
In other political news, mom once wanted to nearly disown me because I liked the Clintons. That was before Hillary ran in this election. Hillary has now convinced me that she's a closeted Republican so I no longer support her and with Edwards gone I support Obama. My sister has taken up my to be disowned spot by announcing she'll be voting for Hillary in the Oregon Primary, heh.
Dutch:
I have picked up my Dutch books only to, as predicted, read the first few chapters, again! BUT, I also have Pimsleur beginner Dutch CDs and have listened to lessons 1-6 (of 10 lessons I think) during the last few days. So far, since it is beginner stuff, it's a lot of hello, how are you types of things. Which is good, I know to spell those things I'm hearing. Lesson 6 has moved onto the would you like something to drink types of things. Eeek. I always said the Dutch letter g scared me, and it does. But hearing the word "graag" eeek. *hides* I know it's nowhere near the worst, but it's the first gr word and multiple letters g word I've heard. Oh man if I tried to say that in front of a Dutchie they'd be laughing for a year. Guess I have to go back to being an American now.
Health:
So I slept on and off from 4 am until 4pm yesterday. We've been having record high temps for this time of year. It's finally supposed to drop down now... to record lows possibly. Ugh. My body doesn't like when the weather jumps all over the place. Especially not when record highs start early in the year. Brain aliens in full effect. Pain alien been around. Exhaustion alien. MS IS NOT HAPPY. MOTHER NATURE MAKE UP YOUR MIND ABOUT THE WEATHER! In fact if I get extra ranty or mess up lots of words, yeah, brain aliens around, sorry.
