All of a sudden, I am happy to be a red-head. We will be extinct by 2050 ... be glad you know one!

Immortal Beloved is a beautiful movie. With only a glass of white zinn, I watched it for the first time this evening and thoroughly enjoyed it. People don't feel things like the used to it seems - love is just "something that happens" instead of two souls bound, two matching minds, from the beginning.

Here's the latest on the major change, from the most indecisive of them all. BA Music, BA Economics (and if I can squeeze in a minor in Political Science, I'll be thrilled!). Not being a music major is not an option. It didn't take long to figure that out - one month of feeling out of the loop and I felt dead. I am a music person who happens to be interested in business; that music department is my family, even if they don't know it.

POLITICS OMG. Without getting too personal, what the heck is going on? I don't know exactly how I feel about the Rescue(BAILOUT)Plan, other than it sets a frightening precedent that goes against most everything our free-market, capitalist, meritocratic system has stood for. As for the candidates, they're a rather entertaining bunch.

I feel inspired to become more active in the political sphere. Maybe being an elected official would be fun, but maybe being an advisor would be a safer route. But man oh man, things need to change and people need to get it together. I would jump at the opportunity to be part of that when I'm a little older and a bit wiser.

Let's see ... work is good, school is fine, I'm bad at French, miss my dog, and probably should sleep more. No complaints.

Time to go to sleep and listen to my new Jeff Buckley CD. More cohesive thoughts later.

Very nice. You know, I don't think that kind of love is dead. It really depends on the persons at hand and their ideas of love, you know? It takes time, unfortunately, to find the correct ones that mesh with your thoughts...It's unfortunate that most don't find those persons.

In regard to politics, I'd like to run for office as well. You know, just this morning (as in a couple of hours ago), I was researching the qualifications for Governor of SC under our state's Constitution and the requirements include the need to believe in the "Supreme Being." Lol. You also have to be a minimum of thirty. I really would like to see a woman as governor here...I don't know if it's happened yet.

In regard to the bailout plan, it's insane just how much stuff was added on to the bill. Two million dollars for wooden arrows for little kids? Wow.

I've not seen that movie, but it sounds interesting.

You never can leave what you love completely. And if you do, you regret it.

As always, here's hoping we can do lunch at some point as I do enjoy reading your blog.

Tea and crumpets
