I'm very busy and taking a break I shouldn't, but just quickly (because dear labyris reminds me I've been offline so long:

1. I'm still mildly sick but feel human again after about fifteen days of coughing and sinus stuff.

2. I have a temporary and very low-paying job, yippee, which I ought be doing right now ( Read more... )

Okay, we're up, we're moving, and we're getting in line to vote.

I hab a code. ::: ka-chew!!! :::

Lines are going to be awful. BRING A BOOK. And, maybe, an energy bar or something.

With thanks to Rigelkitty, who posted it earlier today. Damon also brings up the dinosaur issue, "and she's going to have the nuclear codes." Damon is as boggled as any reasonably intelligent person who's not a political junkie should be.
