Just a few random things on my mind:

• Just because I've not been commenting on the current political climate doesn't mean I haven't been paying attention. Today's vote on torture, the controversy over voting machines, and Keith Olbermann's stunning rebukes of the current regime haven't escaped my notice, I just don't think my feeble command of the details gives these weighty subjects the discussion they deserve. Others handle political analysis far better than I can: check out Shakespeare's Sister, Madame Verdi, Ornicus and the like. I also put forth that geekchick and vvalkyri have some thoughtful posts going on.
  
  • Also check out Jeffery Sharlet's stories about the Christian Right at Harper's magazine - they'll curl your hair.
    
  • Also Crooks and Liars for all your political video needs.
  
  
• I've been around too much good food lately! For my last day at my current job my co workers took me out to the Fantastically Good Indian Buffet place, and I topped this off with Fast Tasty Brunswick Stew this evening. When I have to make friends with Pepcid AC I know I've overdone it.
  
  • But..but...got a can of Xocolatl hot hot chocolate and it's not half bad. Not Ghiardelli, mind (the cinnamon/chiles don't blend into hot milk very well), but I suspect that used in combination with a regular cocoa it will lend it's sparkly burn to rich chocolatey goodness in a most fluffy way this winter :)
  
  
• May not be making Renn Faire Sunday as I had hoped to include D. in the outing but his back is still not doing well - prolonged sitting/standing for Medieval Baebes may be out of his range :( Might still go alone but not if I can salvage my planned date.
  
• I need to not be sitting at this computer any longer, and perhaps be getting a (relatively) early night.
