Do de do

Happy birthday, enderxenocide! :D

I'm not the only one who doesn't care all that much that it's Independence Day (*rolleyes*), am I? America's going to the wolves (hopefully--GIP! *g*), and I want Kerry to win, because dammit, I'm not going to be able to go live in Canada until I'm out of college (parents are paying for college, and they won't pay for Canada), which is at least another five years. I like the fireworks, because dude, fireworks are pretty, but meh. We say the Pledge of Allegiance every morning in school, and I don't. Damn hypocrites. Liberty and justice for all, indeed. But if you care about the Fourth...well, happy Fourth.

Do de do. Went to a friend's seventeenth birthday party yesterday, and acted like teenagers last night. We went "cruisin" at ten-thirty/eleven and came back around midnight, because all we did was drive around Reno/Sparks. Not that interesting. We almost went to a party that some older guys invited us to (you know, the kind with alcohol. *wrinkles nose*), but it ended up being across the street from my house, so we decided against going to a party where my parents might notice us, especially when it was that kind of party.

On the other hand, finished The Fifth Elephant. Now I need to find the next one in the Watch series, because Sam Vimes is the best character ever (well, aside from Remus. *g*), and Carrot's adorable. Now if I could only remember which book it was...

Now I have work to do. Blah. I want to write. Well, no, I want to have some writing done, but I can't have it done if I don't do it, only work takes priority. What possessed me to take on so much responsibility, again?

Well, at least I get to go whack people with wooden swords in another hour and a half. *g*

Does that mean that the only reason you want Kerry to win is because it would mean Bush didn't win?

Well, that's currently the main reason. I think he'd be a good president, but I just really don't want Bush to win.

Eh. I don't like it when the government thinks they should completely control the economy. Y'know, like the way Kerry wants to.

*shrugs* I like it less when the government thinks it should control who other people marry, like Bush does. And when the government sends people to war when there's not an overwhelming need to, like Bush did. Maybe I should amend my statement to say I think he'd be a good president in comparison with Bush.

The next Watch book is Night Watch. Have you read the others, too, the Watch books that come before Fifth Elephant? Because that is a great one, but the others are brilliant too.

Also, polaris_starz, who got me hooked on Discworld in the first place, recently gave me a stand-alone Disc book called The Truth, which manages to be marginally better than the Watch books (which means that it is also very very brilliant). If you haven't read that one, you really should. It has Vimes and the Watch in it too, though they've a rather smaller part.

(Also: no, I don't care it's Independence Day either. As evidenced by the fact that I'd much rather go on about Discworld. And Polaris, who's visiting just now, wants to add that she never says the Pledge of Allegiance either.)

Ooooh. Started reading that in the bookstore once, I think. It's the one where Vimes goes back in time, right? And yes, I've read the ones before it. I am attempting to read them in order :p.

Actually...I want to move to Discworld.

Night Watch is utterly brilliant.

After that, there's another standalone book in which the Watch plays a smaller part: Monstrous Regiment.

The new book, which is coming out in October or November, is a Watch book, and is called Going Postal. The book is supposed to contain a great deal about golem culture.

OMGOMGOMG a new TP book, and about the Watch??? *glomps you for the info, then dies of utter happiness*

I'll just...go now.

and I want Kerry to win, because dammit

I know. I'm getting anxious about this upcoming election. Actually anxious. Like, to the point where it makes me wring my hands.
