for us here at 1LS, one of the best parts of blogging is having a digitally-permanent record of our lives.
that being said, four years ago I was blogging about the Bush v. Kerry debates…
the more things change, the more they stay the same, eh?

“Debate Impressions”
I’ve been trying to convey the impression I get when I watch Bush speak and tonight Jessi Klein summed it up perfectly.
“Watching Bush talk always gives me that feeling like when you’re watching an alcoholic uncle give a toast at a wedding - you’re just kind of hoping he’ll get through it without messing up too bad, but he inevitably does.”
one year ago today, stonebraker and i talked about how scary it would be to live in a muppet-world:
Me: so alice in wonderland is a fucked up headtrip of a movie
Stonebraker: yes it is
Me: i cant believe that it’s a kids movie
Stonebraker: yeah it used to scare me as a child
Me: whatever, i watched it last night and it scared me
Stonebraker: muppets used to scare me…I’m NOT kidding
Me: lol. really?
Stonebraker: yeah, I get creeped out watching them now

Me: you know who scared me as a kid? those fuck puppets on mr.rogers in the neighborhood of make believe
Stonebraker: there’s just somthing not right about those muppets!
Me: yeah, how come every kids show we watched was like one big acid trip?
Stonebraker: could you image being stuck in a a muppet world?
Me: are you even hearing me any more?
