yadda yadda
Everything has been great. I love the fall, although I'm never quite dressed enough for it. Granted I'm wearing pants and a sweater right now, I'm still freezing. This "homeless" lifestyle is kind of interesting. I wouldn't say "homeless" without quotations, because I do have a place to sleep every night. It's just that I'm never really belonging anywhere or staying anywhere too long. I'm out of "home" from 7 in the morning until midnight. School has been going well, but I'm not that busy. I'm not complaining because it allows me to do research and read for leisure. I am borrowing another book from Barnes & Noble: Billy O'Reilly's A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity. I am about to finish Robert Hass' book of poetry, Time and Materials. And I'm about to read it again because I have to do a book review for it. I'm also going to try and read Naomi Shihab Nye's book 19 Varieties of Gazelle by Monday. I'm currently at a Panera cafe so that I can do an assignment for class. Thankfully I don't have to drive all the way to school today. So, when I'm done with everything here, I can go home and get under a blanket and read. And write. I'll probably pull an all-nighter to get a lot of crap done because I work all weekend. And I want to be able to work and spend time with Len instead of work and do homework. Speaking of my wonderful boyfriend, he went out today while I was at work and purchased all the stuff we need for our indoor turtle habitat. It's going to be awesome and it's all because of him. It will be a tank, but he will be building an outer-extension to the tank so that the turtles can leave the tank and go bask in a dry place. So, when I go to his place after work tomorrow, they should be inside their tank, away from the cold! I'll take pictures, I promise.
So, personally, I think McCain made a fool of himself. I'm currently not up-to-date about what's going on with the debate that was supposed to happen tonight. But you know, McCain made this big deal about meeting with the president and dealing with the "financial crisis" rather than debating. When he first announced this, I agreed that it was the better thing to do. I can understand Obama, wanting to debate for the people. But come on, Obama and McCain are senators. They are getting paid to deal with crises such as this. And in the long run, dealing with such a crisis, is for the people. Now, if they were just governors, that would be a different story. The debate shouldn't have been in question. But they're both senators. So, McCain made it seem like he was going to roll up his sleeves and do some work, but he didn't do anything at the really disatrous meeting they had yesterday. Supposedly, the republicans had another plan...but if they had another plan, why didn't they discuss it at the meeting? What a mess. You know, I only read the first few pages of O'Reilly's book so far. But he said something along the lines that (and I am totally paraphrasing here) it isn't the matter of who will be the best president, but which candidate will mess up America the least. O'Reilly claims in the book to not really choose a side (hmm), although he usually leans (obviously) to the right.
Blah, I am going to go do some work.
