rants and ramblings of utter randomness

News from around the world:

I don't know why it is, but I can't help but like the guy.

International soccer body to discuss Quebec hijab ban

Not sure who I'm voting for yet at all, but this guy certainly in the running.

( Edwards details his health care proposal )

Daley cruises to sixth term

Dude. Is this guy liek, Methuselah or something?

In other news, I'm downloading the pilot of The Black Donnellys from iTunes. I can't remember the last time I actually looked forward to watching a new show (S&A doesn't count, it sort of hit me broadside without warning. I didn't have time for anticipation). I could go out and buy me some bunny ears and maybe be able to actually watch it on *gasp* a real television! But nah, I'd rather DL it and get it without commercials, because I pretty much hate commercials. If anyone knows a source? You can email me. :)

Okay, off to renew my nursing license, since today's the last day. Dude, my LIFE is putting things off until the last minute. I should change it, but I probably won't. At least not until the last minute.
