Oy. Those Sotomayor hearings. Sometimes I forget how prevalent racism still is, and then I see a Latina woman being questioned on whether her identity will influence her decisions on the bench. I don't remember anyone asking John G. Roberts how his blinding whiteness would affect his rulings, y'know.
When I haven't been reading snippets of that coverage (translation: making myself livid with rage) I've been working on a special writing project and checking out Dead Snow at FantAsia with friends. And feeling oddly tired. I hope I'm not coming down with something, because I have to volunteer at a music festival this weekend and camp outside. God knows I don't need to add illness-induced crabbiness to my usual post-sleeping bag bitching. Time to start chain drinking the Neo Citran just as a prevantative measure.
