I think I think

Friends, comrades, lovers: it's been too long. I have so many things on my mind these days and I should really be blogging about them separately.

But I'm lazy so here's the list:

1. Sarah Palin -- so many frustrations. Originally I thought she might be a legit pick. After seeing her stumble through a gimme interview I can honestly say that if McCain is elected we'll be getting the presidential duo we deserve. Politics will have officially gone the way of American Idol. It's somehow not cool to be thoughtful or informed anymore. It's better to be memorable and instinctive. I'm sad.

2. Paralympics -- On the one hand it's inspiring. I watched wheelchair tennis and a few swimming events, volleyball ... on the other hand it seems like there are a lot of unfair matchups. I watched 7v7 football and the team with the 'lesser' disabilities won easily. It's tough for me to watch and enjoy something if it seems unfair. Maybe it doesn't matter. If you haven't already, please also watch a game of Goal Ball and let me know your impressions.

3. Parents -- mine are in town. They're adorable. They keep wearing cargo pants and new shoes purchased especially for this trip. I also go to bed approximately 10 hours earlier when they're around.

4. Fondue -- Seriously? Bread and melted cheese for dinner? For 50 francs? Fondue? More like fondon't. We fondidn't.

5. Swiss cheese -- No dad, they have other kinds of cheese there too [Switzerland].

Give the people what they want:
