Arianna’s out, dammit. Far be it from me to tell Arianna Huffington what to do, but while I recognize the strategy she’s going for here, I think the principle of her campaign far outweighs any potential swing she could bring to the Democrats.

Oh, and just so you all know, they’re going to start work on my caricature at BW…
Yeah, I’m still here.

Also, on Friday I picked up the first season of Soap on DVD and I’ve been busy watching that — sorry, Soap has always been one of my favourite TV series of all time. Unfortunately, between that and the…
It’s the fifth week of the semester and I think I’m already starting to get a case of senioritis … granted, I’m still coming off that cold and I don’t feel all that great as yet, but I’m already starting to feel a bit of drain. The homework load for this weekend is obscenely big, so hopefully I can get a good start on it during the week and I won’t get burnt out at the end. The fun part about the counseling I’m currently…
