Sunday morning

1. [livejournal.com profile] slashcast episode 11 is up here! Featuring a GLBT news update from [livejournal.com profile] phaballa; a meta discussion on movie vs. book canon with [livejournal.com profile] charlotteschaos, [livejournal.com profile] kerryblaze, and [livejournal.com profile] scarah2; a fandom opinion segment by [livejournal.com profile] stepps; and the first part of my interview with [livejournal.com profile] henry_jenkins. w00t!

2. MDH and I spent several nights this last week watching TV news shows, and for the first time in years, it was kind of fun. The Republicans are scrambling, and I'm enjoying watching it. They've become the party of warmongers, pedophiles, and meth-taking homophobic closet case religious nuts. Bush is having to go to areas where the Republicans have strongholds in a last-ditch attempt to hang onto his base. Democrats have a real chance of winning seats in places where they were more likely to have been lynched a year ago. I'm too cynical to be hopeful yet, but I'm kind of looking forward to Tuesday.

3. I am making progress on writing my holiday exchange fics, yay!

4. Made dulce de leche from scratch last night. And poured it over homemade vanilla ice cream. Mmmmm...

My cynical sibling says that by tomorrow there will be another Osama tape released to the American public and that'll be the end to that :(
Small wonder, he does not want to return to Oregon.

I'd like to think that such a move would be viewed by the American public as an act of political desperation. But yeah, I'm still a bit cynical. I won't believe the country is really going to shift until the results are in Tuesday night. :-P
