Say Anything

Okay, so I had heard about this Rahm Emanuel guy before. It was some time last year when I heard about the table-stabbing incident, and I thought it was intriguing but that was it.

Then the States went and voted Barack Obama as president, and what did he do? Pick Rahmbo as his Chief of Staff. Suddenly there's all this fangirling all over my fan journal flist, and I decide to join the fledgling community rahmbamarama only to be overwhelmed by the SHEER EXUBERANCE of the Rahmdom.

Check out this brief overview of Rahm's ... appeal.

Oh, and Rahm facts. They're like Chuck Norris facts ... only completely true.

I find the whole thing very amusing.

ETA: Oh man, I want this bag! If CafePress accepted PayPal, it would already be on its way to me.

Guys, did LiveJournal just do ... something ... to the userinfo layout? I'm not sure I like it. It looks kind of messy.

So, I've been hit by a sudden bout of flu/food poisoning. I'm not really sure which it was, but it reached a very unpleasant head yesterday which culminated in me running out of the classroom to throw up :-( I stayed home today because I have NO wish to repeat the performance, thankyouverymuch. Tomorrow I'll go in and hopefully be fine. And then the weekend!

NaNo was set back by my illness (my muse doesn't seem to take well to nausea) but I'm not too far behind. Hopefully I'll catch up. How's everyone's attempt going?

Despite it being NaNoWriMo, I went and bought a book recently. Yes, I know, I should be writing! But I was at the local used bookstore last week and couldn't help myself. I picked up The 158-Pound Marriage, by John Irving. Love that man. Still, it was about the most depressing poly story I've ever read in print! Very interesting and well-written, I liked it, but I guess I was spoiled by reading Heinlein when I was young.

Oh, and: crack_van has Fake News RPF recs this month ... you may or may not recognize the driver :-D
