The Zoo over Ambuscade Street

I've got to pull myself out of this. I just feel like I can't function right now, like I can't face the world. But not facing the world like I did yesterday is a Bad Thing that leads to Consequences that I'm going to have to spend today dealing with. Which makes me want to retreat, pull the covers over my head, and hide all day even more.

I haven't felt like this in years, and I don't know how to handle it.

Living Room: Shuffle books from rec room. Unpack last box of decorative stuff. Find spots for all decorative stuff

Bedroom: Hang the last of the clothes up. Figure out what the heck's in the other boxes in there and shove them into a closet find places for them to go.

Office: Just unpack the #!$$!@ boxes already! It'll take like half an hour if you just sit down and do it.

Hall: Finish washing bedding; fold and put in hall cabinet

Great Room: Convince Erik that armchairs aren't a good spot for trash to live.

Guest Bedroom #1: Find hardware for bookshelves; put books on bookshelves once they're secured

Guest Bedroom #2: Run in fear. This is the room that got all the random "I don't know what to do with this, shove it in here" stuff. Including one mattress and two box springs. Hope I won't have more than one person visiting at a time. Random throwing away of unopened boxes may commence - if I haven't needed it by now I don't really need it, right? Attempt to throw out really, really nasty My Pet Monster that's been living on a barn for the last ten years. It shows. Erik treasures this thing, but I won't touch it without gloves. Maybe I'll move it to our barn...

Kitchen: Clean off counters. I think that's it

Other Stuff: Get someone who can install phone jacks up so I don't trip over the phone lines and step on splitters in bare feet anymore. Get someone with a truck to take all the large trash to dump.

Then - dust, sweep, mop, vacuum, torment dog. Also fold and put away laundry. Convince Erik to clean bathrooms. Get dustbuster so I can vacuum out windowsils. Get real quote on what it'll cost us to put up wooden/electrical fence so we can get Stupid Horse out to our property so he isn't moping in his own much and catching nasty hoof diseases.

Start planning bomb shelter.

In backwards socialist pro-islamofascist hellholes such as France...

And instead of more ranting on the horrors that are Diebold (and other) electronic voting machines, I'll just point to this, where other people do the ranting for me.

Go Badnarik!

[EDIT] Ok, I can't really resist taking just one shot...

But speaking generally on the vulnerabilities Harris mentions, Diebold spokesman David Bear said by phone that no one would risk manipulating votes in an election because it's against the law and carries a heavy penalty.

I'll let that speak for itself.
