Note to self: don't drink an entire bottle of wine (well, 2.5 glasses plus half a bottle) again. Even if you are preparing for your birthday. Perhaps you are not meant to drink to excess anymore. Blah. Yes I am writing this drunk. No, you can't really tell. Yay spelling and grammar! Or perhaps you can, because this is going to be rambling.

I watched An Inconvenient Truth the other night, and it was really good. I also watched Serenity, and that was really good as well. But back to Friday. If you haven't seen An Inconvenient Truth, you should. It makes me want to really put in the effort to reduce my carbon footprint. Sometimes I think I should be more involved in politics to do something and change things rather than be a physicist. I really hope that things change in November. I hope beyond hope that a democrat will win the presidency. I don't really care which one. I still need to decide who I want to vote for in the primary. I think if I don't vote for Kucinich I'll probably vote for Hillary. I still love the Clintons, and there's something about Obama that rubs me the wrong way. I don't know what it is. Part of me wants to be contrarian and get Hillary in the White House after Iowa. I don't think she could win the general election, however. No matter what, though, I'm ready for a change.

Also, while watching the movie, Al Gore talked about growing up on a tobacco farm. It made me wonder who thought smoking would be a good idea. How did the thought process work? "I wonder what will happen if I light these leaves on fire and inhale the smoke?" It's fascinating.
