Just in case you missed it here's a random photo of my bedside table:
Things:
* I'm thinking about having an Election Party on November 4th. It's mainly just an excuse to invite all my friends over to eat nachos, drink beer and watch TV, but also I will need people to comfort me if Bush manages to pull it out and get himself re-elected. Seriously. I think it could send me into another depression... the last one started rumbling around the time of the beginning of the war in Iraq. Man... I've really gotta stop watching CNN.
* Job hunting fucking blows. I hit the mall with 10 resumes yesterday. It seems nobody's hiring until November in preperation for Xmas. I gotta go back tomorrow and drop off a completed application form to American Eagle.
* At school I'm doing and independent study course about images of queer folk in popular mass media. Paper topics include (but are not limited to): "Big Gay" Al from South Park; the way in which homosexuality = death in many popular films; David Bowie & Peaches.
* Speaking of Peaches, does anybody on my friends list own "The Teaches of Peaches"? If so, I'll swap you a burned copy of something from my collection for a copy of that. Aw c'mon... I'm poor enough right now that I can't justify buying CDs that cost over $15.
Vote on the next random photo of the day! Your choices are:
1. The inside of the cabinet where I keepy my dishes
2. My recycling box
3. A random place on the campus where I go to uni

I think it's crazy that you are more involved in US politics than most people in the US.
Job hunting does fucking blow. And it irritates the piss out of me how homosexuality=death even in quality indie flicks (A Home At the End of the World?), or if they don't die, they get "cured."
Comments about Things:
* an Election party would be good. i'm a sucker for election specials. i hate Northern Irish politics, (and in so many ways i hate politics--- so much so than i'm getting a doctorate in it
(By the way, I'd love to come to you election party--- i have a wobbly-headed statue of Bush, which i want to topple, Sadaam-like, if he's deposed. Or smash to pieces in a fit of rage if he isn't. Which seems the more likely outcome, if I'm honest).
* I'm sure you'll get a job over Christmas. The mall sounds good from your other journal, so good luck Maz, it's high time you had fate work in your favour!
* I love Big Gay Al. In his ass! That would be an interesting one, what with South Park being a twisted politically incorrect satire on small-mindedness and bigotry. I'd enjoy reading your essay on that
* Lame joke about a fruit, which ties in, accidentally, with the previous topic.
Random place on campus, as long as the dish-cabinet thing gets put to another vote in a later entry.
