Oh and here's a quote Fox News' website. This is from a comment on a story saying the ad worked (linked as story that said it did not).

"Can any one here say that they did not vote for Bush the last two times?
Mike Kneller"

Yes I can. I have been a registard Democrat for 40 years. This is the first time in my voting life I voted Republican.

Obama is a lier and has no experiance to be President.

That's something.

Try to remember this coming November
To Vote for Neuman, vote for Neuman
Change your direction; don't look for perfection
and vote for Neuman, vote for Neuman,
Alfred E. Neuman though slighly subhuman
Will win just like Truman did from Missouri,
Back him again and we'll say once again
"What, Me Worry?"
We all vote the same way anyway, so there's no use in talking politics here but I wanted to post Brian's lovely song, as is voting season. Let's hope Obama wins, nice times ahead!

Let's all play Age of Booty!

Just so everyone knows, the selection on Netflix's streaming service has increased dramatically both in quantity and quality. There were always a handful of Herzog films and a few Fassbinder films I doubt I'd watch, but now there is a very large number of wonderful films.

I recommend Holiday to everyone. It's a George Cukor film staring Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn and though I'm rarely fond of her, she's completely competent in this. Cary Grant however is exquisite and it's one of my favorite performances of his. It's a simple and silly film but its sweet and fun. I loved it and think you all would too.

Also there are some great Woody Allen films available to stream! AND HORSE FEATHERS! WATCH HORSE FEATHERS! It's my favorite Marx brothers film, hopefully you'll love it like I do.

Casablanca, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Barry Lyndon, and many more!

Well I just wrote a big post and closed the window. Crap.

I'd like to recommend Dickens to all of my friends. I'm reading Oliver Twist now and it's familiar and warm. He says that Oliver has a good and sturdy soul, which is a wonderful thing to say. He has lovely things to tell and tells them quite gracefully. I'm glad I've discovered his work.

Also, Julian's new record is out. It's beautiful and I recommend everyone pick it up before the holiday season. He recorded and played all the music and Brian Dewan made the artwork. It's a really special record. It's also the first record Julian recorded quickly and it turned out marvelously.

Julian's work is something very dear to me. I don't relate to any other works in the way I relate to his, even though I'd never be capable of making the things he does. I hope you all enjoy his new records as much as I do, because they bring me a great deal of hope and joy.

I've become very interested in astronomy again. I had been going through depression and thinking of things so beautiful, grand and real can focus my attention away from unimportant and less beautiful things. I recommend everyone listen to Astronomy Cast and visit their website for show notes. Also, the website Universe Today is full of wonderful information and news. Astronomy has traditionally been very important to me and it feels like I'm reawakening to something dear and innate in me as I'm discovering it again. Throughout my childhood, it was also the most important thing to my brother and I and it engaged my imagination in ways that little else could. From elementary school until high school it was always important to me. Throughout middleschool and early highschool I couldn't relate to the world around me, but I could lose myself in the grandeur of the universe. I feel that way again now and its a sweet and comforting feeling looking at the sky with a friend on a cold night and knowing we're so remarkably improbable and standing on a tiny bit of rock and water that can only sustain life for another 500 million years. We're so lucky.

Also, the weather is nice. While I'm recommending things, I may as well tell everyone that fall is lovely.
