1) Politics is a dirty business, and so are those involved in it. It doesn't matter what side of the aisle you are on - the bottom line is all about power. Power to make people do and say exactly what you like. Power corrupts, absolutely. And for those who insisted on seeing who signed a certain initiative here in WA state - how pitiful. Its like your vote - if you want to reveal how you voted - great. If you don't - it shouldn't be made public. One day this will come back and bite the folks who pressed for it in the a**; something they signed or did that should be confidential will be released, and I will laugh my a** off.
2) I miss Ireland. It was so easy to forget how obsessed with PC'ism the Seattle area is (people can't even laugh about something that's TRUE without someone getting up and huffing out of the room w/some bizarre sense of hurt). That's why no one talks to each other anymore - so worried that someone somewhere will take offense - even if whatever is said is absolutely true. The other thing I definitely did NOT miss is the Passive-Agressive (ism) that the Seattle area has turned into an art form. Say what you mean to say - back it up, and go to the matt for it.
3) I can't emphasize enough how much I am LOVING my New Orleans Saints. I have rooted for you (the team) all my life - and no matter what happens, this has been the most exciting 7 weeks in the NFL EVER for me!! Drew Brees for the Nobel Prize! He's at least as qualified as the last recipient. And given his work for the city post-Katrina - quite possibly more so.
4) I forgot just how good the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series was. Great characters, storylines, and all around entertaining. Just saw Zombieland this weekend - and enjoyed that too! I think those rules could apply to multiple situations...!
5) I want/need to carve out more horse time somehow...(don't I say that all the time?!)
