I Twittered While Rome Burned
So I've been busy as hell at work, which is a good thing because busy lawyers bring the firm money and therefore are less likely to be laid off, but the consequence of all this busy-ness (in addition to stratospheric insanity level) is a lack of time to blog. I've been twittering a fair amount, though, and since I had to take my twitter feed private a couple months ago I feel like my most random and therefore potentially interesting thoughts aren't making it to the blog anymore.
So, in a week when the Democratic ticket plummeted in the polls, and it serious politicians were forced to divine the meaning of "lipstick on a pig" and argue over whether anyone really understands the Bush doctrine, and our financial markets are so fucked up that people have started using third rail words like DEPRESSION, and the entire state of Texas was ruined by a hurricane, and FSU managed to win its first two games by a combined score of 115-7 (if that isn't a sign that the world is ending I don't know what is), and my social life dwindled down to nothingness faster than Mary Kate Olsen at a fat farm...here's what randomness has been keeping my brain occupied--aka the good, bad, and ugly from my recent Twitter feed:
We're in 80's time warp. Woman running for VP, culture wars bloom anew, fear of war w/ the Russkies, really old Republican running for prez.
ABC reports Palin said we might have to go to war w/ Russia if they invade anyone else. She is so not ready for prime time. SO. NOT. READY.
Reading old blog posts of mine. Once upon a time, I kinda knew how to write. Now I suck.
Can't move. Too tired.
Too tired for beer. Seriously, that is really f'ing tired for me.
I have a scab on my arm and absolutely no recollection of getting injured in that spot. I'm either going senile or need to stop drinking.
I am going to use "lipstick on a pig" in every single brief I write for the rest of my life. Starting with this one. Just because I can.
Home. Quote of the night from Nora: "Thank God I wasn't born as Wm. Shakespeare." 2nd funniest: "He just started talked about licking butt."
So shocked and heartbroken that the Board of Pardons and Paroles denied Troy Davis' clemency request. This makes me sick to my stomach.
So confused as to why a guy who I stopped talking to because he acted like an asshole would suddenly try to reinitiate things after 10 mos.
Hearing about a case in which a guy fell in a hole and "hurt his balls."
It only took an hour for me to be able to successfully open BOTH eyes this morning.
Wow. Just watched the "Bush doctrine' part of the interview. That was painful...because she's SO. NOT. READY.
Wow, Peyton Manning sucks this year.
Might be going to So Fla next Fri. So, 1 of those 2 disturbances lingering in the Atlantic should turn into a tropical storm any second now.
Going to bed, hope that the folks in Galveston and Houston get a weaker hurricane than anticipated & the loss of life is lower than feared.
I take back every nasty thing I've ever said about "the View." (Except the stuff about Elisabeth.) Those girls GRILLED McCain good today.
If the scores hold, I lost by less than a point for the second time in as many games. I should win a bad luck trophy.
Yet again I will lose fantasy FB in a squeaker. This is getting old and it's only the 2nd week. Ugh.
Purchased baby shower gift for this coming weekend, since I'l probably be too busy to shop. Also, I don't need to go near a baby section.
Rethinking my previously purchased halloween costume and trying to decide what I might go as instead. Little Red Riding Hood? I dunno.
Weird, weird dreams last night. For example, @amberlrhea was piloting the space shuttle. And was meeting us in Gainesville to go bowling.
Why oh why did I wear the red high heels that I know pinch my feet? What price, fashion...
The moment when all the adrenaline fades and you are just left with overwhelming exhaustion and relief is such a weird, conflicted time.
Turkey on rye and potato salad from Goldberg's tastes like about the best thing in the universe right now. I might be moaning while I eat.
So I have McCain to thank/blame for being tethered to my job 24/7 by my Blackberry? I'm guessing this won't go meme like Gore & the internet.

I think Democrats have made a big mistake in focusing so much attention on Sarah Palin. She probably would have sunk herself in a few weeks. Of course there was going to be a lot of attention when she was announced as McCain's vice-president because she was not that known. I fear Democrats have made her into a martyr and there is nothing conservatives like more than a good martyr.
She would have faded into obscurity but Democrats have made her stronger than she would have ever been. She will either be the vice-president now or the main Republican presidential candidate in 2012. By then, we won't have the "she's inexperienced" line of defense against her anymore.
Whatever happens, we did this to ourselves.
