i've just spent the last two hours going through CD-ROM's looking for typos because one of the programmers here can't spell to save her ass. she can program like a mofo (and we all know that mofo's* can program like well.. a mofo) but she can't spell in english, like, at all. if english spelling was like breathing she'd be a dying asthmatic on a respirator.
so anyway, i had to check to make sure she spelled the word "alligator" - two L's (or elles or elle's [see attached footnote for unclarifying clarification]) and it took about two hours to check. i could have had somebody else check it but i felt bad because let's face it, checking for other people's typos is like, so not fun.
it's seems a bit inappropriate (or is that ironic) that i'm checking for spelling errors when we all know that when it comes to spelling, while i may not be the one dying on the respirator, i'm definitely the nerdy kid with the asthma inhaler in his breast pocket ready to take a hit at the slightest throat constriction. (gasp)
the nice thing is while checking for spelling errors and fighting with macromedia flash player i got to re-read almost all of my blog posts, including the super-secret ones that nobody knows about.(ok, so they aren't so super-secret) i have to say they are highly, highly entertaining to read (at least to me, but then again i wrote them.)

i haven't picked up a newspaper in a long long time in a land far far away. in other words, for about six months. i didn't even pick up a newspaper prior to the election. i was confident and simultaneously dreading the fact that g.bush II was going to get elected again and secretly, or not so secretly wishing, that the democrats could for once, JUST ONCE get their heads out of their collective asses for the 30 seconds of concerted, no - intelligent and concerted effort it would take for them to win the election.
i've been a registered republican for as long as i've been able to vote, despite or in spite of the fact that i never knew what GOP stood for until i turned 25 (actually 31 but it's too embarrassing to admit that i didn't know that for so long, so i'll pretend it's 25) nonetheless, i still think it's a really, really, really stupid acronym.
so despite or in spite of or just spiting in general, i really wanted kerry to win. not that i liked kerry i just liked him slightly more than i liked bush. but that's all in the past now, far far back and i'll have to wait until g.bush II comes back from one of his many vacations to see and judge for myself how badly he is going to destroy the country in the next four years.

*is it "mofos" or "mofo's" the apostrophe continues to perplex me greatly.
