rmGiant anti-Republican satire posters have gone up in my neighborhood:
poster 1:
One God.
One Party.
Republicans for a disention-free theocracy.
poster 2:
Bush + Cheney
It's Armageddon in America.

In other news, I realized that one of the reasons I like the Harry Potter books is that in it students realize that school is supposed to teach them how to function in the world, and when the people who should be teaching that (teachers) fail at it, they take it upon themselves to do as best they can. I _get_ that, I just wish I'd had peers growing up who weren't dangerously insane or afraid of everything (including me). Anyway. Put another long boring rant about my childhood here.
Am currently making dinner, and writing out postcards, and working on a monologue for yet another audition for yet another production of The Laramie Project. Well, and some other stuff too, but I've discovered goal focused is the only way for me.

There was almost a tornado earlier. The sy got green like I've only seen it twice before in my life, and kids in the office came running upstairs freaked out because someone they were out smoking with told them there would be a tornado. I explained that occassionally they do happen in the outer boroughs (or even the very north of Manhattan), but they are there and gone, the tall buildings don't really allow for them. They were really scared though, and it was sort of funny, especially because I've no great experience of the things, but come on. They are fucking terrifying, and it's a wonder to me they inhabit our imaginations here at all.
