 Yeah, uhh, so much for painting today. I DID, however, get to see Casino Royale, so nonetheless i'd call this day a success. Seriously, it was flippin awesome. I've been excited about it since first seeing the trailers, and i don't really get excited about Bond films (especially since the past few have suuuucked). Somehow, despite Daniel Craig having a case of serious ugly, he still comes across as completely hot. ???? I was so unimpressed with that casting when it was announced, but HELL, the dude sold it like a cheeseburger to a fat person. SO BADASS. The movie itself was totally entertaining and non-cheesy and just... such a classy spin on Bond. It didn't even approach twenty puns a minute! EXCELLENT.

 All i did today was play Wii, which is the freaking FUNNEST THING EVER. Both of my brothers got one, waited in line till midnight on Saturday and everything- and i am a freeloader who gets to play the games anyway. :D I was planning on painting at some point, but that, uh, never materialized. Playing shiny new video games all day without a care in the world totally made it feel like Christmas, it was nice. Except i actually, REALLY have to do my work tomorrow, NO JOKE. Thanksgiving and family time are gonna eat up the rest of the week, and i have to be done by December 1st. Ha! Ha ha! .....Yeah.

 HOW IS STAR WARS SO AWESOME?!? I rewatched the original trilogy on Sunday (i saw the end of ANH on Cinemax, and it's actually physically impossible to NOT stick around and watch Empire in its entirety... then later i watched Jedi on the ol' VHS because i was thinking "boy, it's been a long time since i saw a non-Special Edition!", so thaaaat's what i did.) and hey, to sum up that tangential parenthetical statement, i'm a pretty big nerd. IT'S JUST SO FRICKIN COOL. THERE ARE SWORDS MADE OF LIGHT AND SPACESHIPS AND BLASTERS AND MYSTICISM AND HILARITY AND CRAZY EPICNESS AND HYPERSPACE AND MUPPETS AND DID I MENTION SPACESHIPS AND SWORDS MADE OF LIGHT! It never, ever gets old. There are very few things in this world that i have seen billions of times over and yet still fill me with joy and wonder and sadness and excitement and absolute love upon rewatching.

So anyway right now i really like Star Wars again.

 So let's hear it for this election! I was thrilled last night, and today with winning the Senate and Donald Rumsfeld resigning it only got better. It's so strange to me to actually feel GOOD about an election. I only started paying any sort of attention to politics in high school, and by then it was the Bush/Gore shitstorm of shittiness, which 1) i couldn't even vote in, and 2) MY STATE RUINED IT FOR EVERYONE. The only time before this i've gotten to vote i was terribly let down- crushed, even- so it's nice to feel so much more faith in the nation.

It was cool to actually go to a polling place, too, since last time i voted absentee. (A.K.A. A USELESS VOTE, AWESOME!) I felt very grown-up and important. Hey, i'm not one of those shiftless, good-for-nothing youths after all!

In conclusion, i'd like to thank Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert for existing.

 Borat was pretty much the funniest movie ever, true story. I laughed so hard i was crying and couldn't breathe, so i think it may have actually been death-defyingly funny! I had never watched Da Ali G Show in the past because i thought it looked annoying, but since seeing the previews for this a while back, my older brother and i gave a few episodes a go and it turns out it's goddamn funny. Incredibly uncomfortable, but funny! I kind of love Sacha Baron Cohen. KIND OF.

Note to Self: I don't care how cool you want to be or how cool you thought you were or how much you love The Big Lebowski- DON'T EVER DRINK WHITE RUSSIANS AGAIN.

So now i gotta go figure out who to vote for tomorrow. Man, it's like homework or something.
