good-bye angel
Finale of Angel is tonight on the WB. I am very sad. First Buffy, now this. Now there is nothing worthwhile on TV except for Stargate and maybe Charmed. But now that the series is over, the guy who plays Wesley now has more free time to devote to me.
I've been keeping up on Indian politics lately. They elected another Ghandi to be prime minister, who then stepped down due to questions about her Italian nationality. What fascinates me is the fact that her gender is not an issue. Pakistan and India have both had female prime ministers, as have many other countries in the world. Countries percieved as "less developed" than the U.S., mind you. And yet we are still absolutely terrified of a female president here in America. Mention Hillary Clinton to conservatives and they frikkin' go ape shit. Do not fear the female, America.
I will be seeing my hometown friend Kari tonight. Our little Breakfast Club gang from Holmen High is still fairly tight. Not only am I eager to see her, but I'm eager to just hang out. I haven't hung out for quite a while. Hanging out is different than going out or going dancing. Hanging out is much like chilling out, only slightly less relaxing.

Wesley and Willow are a couple IRL, you know.

I haven't watched any of this season, but I'll probably tune in for the finale. I was pissed to find out they killed off Cordelia and Fred. But I agree about Wesley being hot, but I thought Giles was too.
Maybe I'm just a Watcher whore.

The process to elect a prime minister is very different then electing a president. A prime minister takes office because his or her party has won the election- therefor it is less about the individual and more about the party. In the states it is all about the individual - image - personality - etc. It will happen here eventually - it is just a longer road.

I am so sad Angel is leaving us! I have to say though when they killed off Cordellia THEN killed Fred I was upset. The show is not the same without them. At least SG1 is starting up again soon, and also the spin off which hopefully will be good, we will have to see about that.

well, maybe she did it as an act of self-preservation. Indian politics are violent at the very least; remember that this woman's husband and mother-in-law were both killed whilst in office.

Other South Asian countries (Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka) had female prime ministers for similar reasons: continuing her father's or husband's duty after his death. It's hard to imagine them getting there on their own, but it's possible to imagine that in the US at least.

Hanging out is being with people and having no pressure as to how to behave, as you are comfortable with these people, knowing they expect you to behave the way you usually do.
I am still trying to figure how cicadas pop out in DC this month and August in Wisconsin. I am assuming there are different varieties.
Happy Syttendi Mai. Read in the paper their parade lasted 2 and a half hours! Love, first mom
