Happy Birthday, Moni! *tosses confetti*

Meanwhile, the day is already shaping up to be not very fun. I forgot to turn my alarm on last night, and I forgot to reset the time on my backup, so I ended up sleeping through my math recitation, which I really needed to go to, as Shimon most likely went through all the answers for last week’s exam, and I missed the recitation quiz.

You know what? I think I’ll just run out the door and go to the 10AM recitation and hope they let me. I’m off!

I can’t believe I’m getting excited about a film version of Merchant of Venice. But you know why? Mackenzie Crook* as Launcelot Gobbo and Andy Serkis as Tubal. EEE! Well, either Andy Serkis or Allan Corduner, whoever that is. Come on, IMDB, get your act together! I want to know if I need to start squealing or not!

*Mackenzie Crook: “Ragetti” in PotC, the one with the glass eye. ♥!!!

W00t! Ran into schoolchum Erin Finley at dinner and managed to convert her to Deanism. I’m definitely going to start wearing my button on my lapel rather than sticking it on my purse as I have in the past.

In that same vein, “Hiya” asked in the comments about Dean’s intentions after Wisconsin. Roy Neil (Dean’s campaign manager) answers right here. Rumors of his demise are greatly exaggerated.

Whee! Lots of signatures, and lots of ammunition gained to counteract negative slurs! And far less political apathy! And we may or may not have a few seconds of exposure on Channel 6 News! WOO-HOO! Feelin’ good!

Dear gravy, I am such a loser. I just realized that I was picking out clothes for the day based on how well they matched my “Dean for America” button.

Off to Rittenhouse Square to gather more signatures!

Apparently, people have been missing links, as I just have them a slightly different color and bolded, so I’m adding underlines. Let’s see if this works.

Edit: Okay, I lightened the link text. Is that better? Underlining is oogleh.

What have you done for Democracy today?

Meanwhile, I’m disgusted at the levels of political apathy in today’s society. Only about 1/5 of the people we met were registered to vote (and only about 1/5 of them were registered to vote in Philadelphia county). And even if they were registered Democrats in Philadelphia county, some of them wouldn’t even spare the two seconds it took to sign the petition to get Dean on the ballot. Grr.
