Marry Me, Stephen Colbert

I would never marry a white man, unless his name were of that in the title.

Or perhaps Colville. Well, I wouldn't really marry him, but he does a good job in this video (thanks Scott). And I'm not technologically savvy enough to do it the fancy way, so here's a link.

Ooh, Palin is "qualified."

I swear to the God I'm Agnostic about, this white Congresswoman gives a bad name to all self-aware women, self-proclaimed feminists, and really, anyone who has taken the gender card to be a sign of real change. If she thinks she can bullshit her way through this argument about Palin, then she is very wrong, and living, tangible proof of why Republicans should NOT be in office. I mean, REALLY!?

I wasn't going to blog today for lack of energy, but watching Stephen Colbert, coming across that video, and finding out the saddest news I think I've ever heard in my life inspired me enough to at least update.

The news?

LISA FU IS LEAVING NAPAWF!

The world as I know it is crumbling down on me, and I don't know what to do!

Okay seriously, it kind of is. But I know's she's moving onto, as I told her, "bigger and better things," because Lisa Fu is probably the most amazing, down, and empowered woman I have ever met. Easily one of my life heroes, and I hope she knows that. I'm just so sad that if I come back to NAPAWF it won't be with her. Selfish, I know, but I can't help itttttttttt

A moment of silence.

I talked to Aya on Skype the other day, and that was nice. Great to hear her voice. We definitely chatted and caught up for about 2 hours.

Labor Day was hangout time with Kelsey and Ai-chan. Good times! A nice, touristy drive out to North Shore - my first time, and it was definitely a lot of fun. Yum shrimp from Romy's, even after a 40 million hour wait in line. Yay Kelsey! Yay Ai-chan!

In other news, Hawaii has been good to me, but my skin has been reacting very adversely the past few days to the heat. I have heat rash all over my neck and face. As bad as it sounds, it's at least not red and swollen. Let's just hope it goes away.

Had a great gchat convo with Alex Lowe today, while at work, about Erotic Horror as a movie genre, courtesy of the Japanese film industry. As he so eloquently put it, "AHH! oh. titties."

Taiko intensities are about to begin, and I never thought I would have to be this busy here. I suppose I enjoy being busy. It's better than the unproductive alternative. Taiko, no matter how intense, will always be enjoyable for me I think. Yikes. Learned lots today in practice(s), and am pretty excited, albeit a little nervous, for the start of the new term. This is real talk now.

(Real talk? Taiko is going to kill me)

Too tired to continue. Class tomorrow, I hope it goes well.
