Why do glasses turn me on so much?
Anyways, this song is way awesome, and you should watch it:

Yay for getting to sleep in. :) I'm surprised I didn't sleep longer, though - only a touch over 8 hours. Maybe my body's just waking up around the time it's been used to being up lately, and not as much "X hours after going to bed."
Also, killercherrypie is totally right. Patrick Buchanan's list of the horrors of the potential Obama presidency is pretty much just what I'd love. But at least it's totally clear that the piece knows who its audience is.
Man, I've been using this icon a lot since I've been cut back to six userpics...

[EDIT: From the J-List newsletter:
Japan is in a state of shock over the death of a pregnant mother after she was turned away from seven different hospitals. The woman was near her due date when she suddenly started complaining of a terrible headache and nausea. On the advice of the obstetrician the husband called an ambulance, but it took an hour and a half before a hospital finally agreed to take the patient. The baby was born via Caesarean section and is fine, but the mother unfortunately died several hours later of what was discovered to be a brain hemorrhage. The problem is lack of doctors, especially ones capable of handling an emergency patient about to give birth. As Japan's birthrate falls, more and more hospitals are readjusting their staff to better serve their existing patients, and all too often this means less attention paid to maternity medicine, which of course is a source of worry for any potential mothers. While this sad event hap pened in Tokyo, the problem is even worse in rural towns -- I once saw a documentary about a woman who had to drive herself two hours to the only maternity hospital in her area for her regular check-ups, and how nervous she was about what would happen if anything went wrong with her pregnancy with her so far from her doctor. It's an especially ironic tragedy coming just as Japan tries to take on its sagging rate of population growth, even creating a new cabinet post for Minister in Charge of the Declining Birth Rate headed by young politician and new mother Yuko Obuchi. Now all the talk shows are buzzing with experts giving their opinions on the problem, with slogans of "Don't let this woman's birth have been in vain."
Huh...

Also, I finally added the 【俗・】さよなら絶望先生 songs to iTunes. I really hate to look at my "unhappy" folder these days, though. I have a lot of backlog to work through, but I can imagine myself just throwing hands up in the air and deleting half of it, as I did once in the past.]

[EDIT 2: Added the first SOUL EATER OST. This series has some average music, but also a lot of music I love. The lyrics to "soul-eater (so scandalous)" are surprisingly sweet, kinda like Soul himself, I guess. Actually, I mentioned this to ellie_desu already, but in addition to a developing ship of Maka/Soul, I think I could be developing a crush on Soul. But my ship is definitely far more developed.
I wish I could get my hands on the character singles, though...]

[EDIT 3: OMG, that test episode was the best ever. ^___^ I love how Patty actually managed to get 2 points.
P.S. OMG, Blair. You... Wow. You're brilliant. >&kt;;]

I especially like the last line, about how we're going to run "many" trillion dollar deficits. It floors me that they still claim to be the "fiscal responsibility" party. At least we actually figure out how we're going to pay for shit rather than just asking China to "loan us a few bucks, we'll pay you back when we get the chance."

I'll never understand America's insane hatred of taxes.
