i heart valentine's day

not really, of course--i fall rather into the what-a-load-of-commercialist-bs camp, but to each his/her own... and i certainly don't hate the holiday enough to devote my time and energy to raging against it. and it's not all bad--after all, i got an endearing valentine's day card from my mother =) (everyone together now: awwwwww!!) besides, god knows there are greater evils in the world!! speaking of which...

what's this about cheney shooting people!?!?!

it's things like that that make me miss ann arbor. i miss the flippant political remarks made by grumpy and occasionally not so grumpy folks of all political persuasions before, during, or after getting their coffee in the morning. i love the way they always assume you agree with them, because they're right, of course! here, it's pretty one-sided. i mean, every hates Bush. that's just a given, not even worth wasting your breath on the subject. ann arborites, on the other hand, have a knack for making it a new and exciting topic every day!!
