So, I'm alive. Kinda. I'm in slow-boil mode, trying not to (and of course failing) freak out about moving and grad school. The apartment is getting packed up around me, but it's just...hard.
I had hoped to get caught up on W and finish Shinkenger, but I've pretty much put off toku for...no apparent reason. Instead, I've mostly been reading a lot of essay collections (Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs, Me of Little Faith, A Small Place), memoir (The Memoirs of a Beautiful Boy, What Would Barbra Do?), and journalistic nonfiction (Pitch Perfect, Rapture Ready, Shaken and Stirred), hanging out with folks before I move, and playing way too many Bioware Games. Huge timesinks that they are, I've marathoned Mass Effect 1/2 and am still fiddling around with my third Dragon Age character. I'm probably going to have Assassin's Creed II finished before I move, if only because it feeds my perfectionist leanings.
I am greatly enjoying the many and various terminology Obama is acquiring, for the simple fact it is almost universally dead on arrival and thus eminently mockable.

Sure, Shrub encapsulated quite a few of W's qualities, but (as Pinto has taught us) a nickname has nothing, comedy-wise, on a portmanteau.
The real comedy tragedy, however, is how difficult it is to come up with an amusing moniker for, as![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
brownbetty would call him, His Presidential Sexypants, that lines up nicely with female anatomy - that, at least, came as part of the package with 43.

- The Ultimate Box Set, sadly illegal to sell in Alabama
- Teaching science in facepaint for awesome
- For the Uninformed: Why I will Never Buy an Apple Product
- "Everybody Loves a Lesbian" is good enough that I actually want to see at least an episode of BBC3's "Mongrels"
