The most addictive website of the day:
http://www.fundrace.org/neighbors.php

Type in your address and see to who's presidential campaign your neighbors have donated. It's a little frightening that this database exists, but I'm still fascinated.

Why am I so exhausted? Why does this make me hate my life right now? And I literally mean "right now", because even when I go down the hall to the bathroom, life seems way better. But I don't want to write and complain about my job because that's boring and negative and cliche.

I keep thinking I should go back and write about my weekend even though it's already Tuesday. Friday night pretty much sucked, because even though I thought I did a pretty good job spinning, I was painfully exhausted and often lonely. Being up in a booth for seven hours with virtually no opportunities to interact with all my friends who are 25 feet away isn't as fun as you might think. And when I'm physically tired, my emotions are always compounded. But I survived, with the help of [livejournal.com profile] thebrownhornet who stayed on the floor dancing until the last song, and [livejournal.com profile] dommeyourass came up to the booth for the last hour and kept me company as well as not leaving me to get home alone.

Saturday seemed short since I didn't wake up until after noon. I met The Librarians for lunch, and Lowenstein finally got to meet them after over a year of missed connections. Then we went home to change clothes. [livejournal.com profile] vimandvigor and [livejournal.com profile] foxycoxy came over and we went to church...er, the ballet. Though, as my neighbors said, "close enough". First we ate a fancy restaurant with indulgent food then we walked over to the Lyric. I'd never seen a full ballet before and the performance was Swan Lake, the ballet's ballet. Or something. Anyway, it was beautiful, fun, intimate evening.

Sunday was temple, lunch, then coming home to panic about schoolwork.

That's the belated weekend roundup.

I've written so much in the past two days, I don't have much left for here.

haha. I found that website a few weeks ago and spent ALL DAY typing people in and annoying Loose and Louche with my updates (Ben Affleck gave to Kuchinich! Russell Simmons gave to Al Sharpton! Susan Sarandon like Dean!)

Do you have lunch plans today? I could get downtown by about 1 if you wanted to meet up. That might cheer you up. You pick the place, I'm on spring break!

I wish I could, but I'm spending my lunch hour running errands and finishing up stuff for my packet to mail off. Lunch with you would be way more fun.

Why am I amused?

George H. W. Bush, retired, in Houston TX gave $2000 to Dubya.

What's most disturbing to me is that I seem to be surrounded on all sides by people that support the incumbent. And also that on average Republicans seem to contribute $500 more than those donating to democratic or independent campaigns

Yay for Canada!

Most of my neighbors supported Dean. Those that didn't donated to Kerry or Kucinich. I had no idea!!

Thank you for the link! I knew that there was a heavy conservative lean in my city but I never would have guessed that so many people gave contributions to Dean's campaign. You're right, it is addicting.

yeah, i finally looked at the contibutions... if my father (who is a staunch serious democrat) ever wonders WHY i prefer the city that he ran from... well, let's just say that within a mile of my current home, barely anyone contributed to bushy II, but in the burbs where he lives almost EVERYONE gave to our appointed president. one household (consisting of one CEO, on elementary school teacher, and three students) gave $2000 each to our current head-of-state. eeeiiwwww...
