Incoherent Scribblings

Book Quiz!

Like most everyone else, I enjoy taking Internet quizzes. However, I normally don’t publish the results in my blog, because if I did my entire blog would be filled with quiz results and little else. But last night, I was so impressed with my results from the “Book Quiz,” that I just had to share them.

According to the Book Quiz, I am Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
by Lewis Carroll

After stumbling down the wrong turn in life, I have had my mind opened to a number of strange and curious things. As life grows curiouser and curiouser, I have had to ask myself what’s real and what’s the picture of illusion. Little is coming to my aid in discerning fantasy from fact, but the line between them is so blurry that it’s starting not to matter. I should be careful around rabbit holes, those who smile too much, and should just avoid hat shops altogether.

I just think the result is so appropriate given my current life situation!

Exploiting Tragedy

Yesterday, when I first heard about the new advertisements President Bush is running for his re-election bid, I was prepared to be offended and outraged. After all, not only do I think Bush is a moron who stole the 2000 election, but it sounded to me like he was exploiting 9/11 for his own personal gain.

Here in Europe, for obvious reasons, these ads are not running on my television except for the snippets they are showing on CNN International, so even before I saw the ads I was offended, just on general principle. However, I figured I should at least try to be fair and objective and see the ads. So, I went online and found them. I decided it would be best to go to the source - http://www.georgewbush.com … even though it was a painful thing to do.

After seeing them, my reaction is that I still think Bush is exploiting 9/11 for his own personal gain and I am mildly offended. However, I wasn’t nearly as offended as I was prepared to be. Of course I recognize the significance of 9/11; as an American, how can I not? But personally, 9/11 did not really affect my life or those around me in any profound way. Perhaps if I had had a stronger reaction to the tragedy, I would have been more offended, I don’t know…

Sweet Tooth

Have you ever decided to make browines, cookies, or a cake and then ate so much of the batter that you didn’t have enough left to make them/it?

Well… neither have I!
