Whoops readers, my bad... I accidentally entered the website of my German blog incorrectly in the last post. It is: http://das-leben-auf-deutsch.blogspot.com.
Nothing really new or interesting to report - I have a lot of midterms next week so this weekend is going to be zero fun. No fun at all. Good thing I crammed all of my fun into tonight! My friends decided to turn the Vice Presidential Debates into a drinking game. So American, I know. Every time Sarah Palin said "energy" or "Alaska" we took a drink. I stopped about 15 minutes in because I knew I wouldn't be able to keep up, but all of them kept going.. and now they're all wasted. Even though I stopped early but I'm still kind of tipsy - I hiked my shoes into my closet football-style and I'm thinking it might be time to go to bed. Now.
I don't watch the debates because I'm interested in politics, I watch them in spite of my non-interest in the topic. Unfortunately, this political exposure is challenging my resolution to not vote. Palin is an idiot who thinks she can relate to people because she's a hockey mom. Coming from Minnesota I should be one of the people most sympathetic to her claim, and I think she comes off as an inexperienced politician who doesn't know her head from her ass when it comes to major political issues. McCain isn't much better - mostly because he's about two breaths away from dying and will probably go senile at some point. Obama definitely has his faults, inexperience being one of them. As someone who wants to move abroad, worldwide opinion and confidence in America is important to me. At this point, I think Obama would be best suited to achieve this goal.
I still don't want to vote out of principle. Whoever has the gold makes the rules, and whichever candidate gets elected will be responsible in the end to their political donors and not to the people. Both our financial and political systems are broken and I don't think either of the candidates is up to the task of fixing them.
p.s. I miss Munich.
p.p.s. I need to go to sleep now-ish before I start writing things I shouldn't. Ah yes, the old "I want to say something but I won't, and if you want to know just ask." Irritating, I know. Deal with it.
Happy Thursday to all, and to all a good night.
