Jon Stewart has a public service announcement for you, friends list.
'Nuff said.
Going first thing in the morning with my parents to cast our ballots. I've got this weird mix of excitement and anxiety in the pit of my stomach. Jesus, guys, this election season has been crazy. I myself am one of those people guilty of impulsively checking the CNN/NYTimes/LATimes/Electoral-Vote.com sites every hour or so for updates these past few weeks. If Obama wins, I will have some faith in my country for the first time in my adult life. If Prop 8 wins, I will lose all faith in my state.
Then again, one of my favorite characters right now is a flying politician with dreams of dictatorship and a libido the size of a jet-liner. Oh, and apparently with the habit to suddenly and inexplicably bible-thump. So what do I know?Oh, and speaking of which, on Jeph Loeb being fired from Heroes? GOOD RIDDANCE. I'm sorry, but I've got to side with the league of corporate evil on this one; it's not like the network canned him out of nowhere – while he might have been with the show from the start, he and his cohorts had
an entire season and a half to make the show
not suck and instead they drove it further into the ground. I mean, I saw this man talking about season 2 as if it was full of amazingly great ideas
in person. Kinda kills sympathy for a guy. Given a) the ratings drop, b) the plot quality (or lack thereof), c) the out-of-character developments, and d) the fact that I'm apparently not the only one with issues in the big news world (HINT HINT ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY COVER STORY), the decision is pretty goddamn justified. I have no pity and my only concern is that NBC will stupidly bring on people who know even less what they're doing. But hey, at least they'll have an
excuse for being
completely oblivious about their own show.
Annnnd that's my quota for political/trivial ranting for now. BACK TO MY SPEECH PROJECT. Yes, another one. D: After this, I should hopefully be able to uh FINISH READING APPS.
