The You-Know-What

[emony]

So, the election result sucks. It really does. We all had such high hopes, such optimism, and now we're all stuck with Bush for another four years. Unless we get lucky and he chokes on another pretzel and this time the secret service are otherwise occupied checking up on people who write things like this sentence in their Livejournals. A girl can hope, eh?*

I'm sorry for those on my flist who are Americans, and therefore will feel the effects of this result the most, especially in those states which brought in anti-gay marriage laws and stuff. We did what we could. Turnout was high, and democracy did its thing. That's the thing about democracy though - sometimes the guy you want doesn't get in.

Anyway, enough about that. It's bad, but we just have to accept it and move on. Nothing can be done now.

They're rerunning season 6 of Buffy on Sky One at the moment, and today I happened to catch a bit of Wrecked, with Amy being a crack magic junkie and Willow and Rack. Made me think of DM AU :) Interesting to see that junkie!Willow (for whom I felt 0 sympathy, even when she was balling her eyes out. I am so bitter, yo) really didn't eat. I thought I'd made that up, but apparently Joss did and I borrowed it. Go figure.


*For the benefit of the FBI, etc: this is NOT a threat on Mr Bush's life. It is merely an expression of the hope that natural selection will take its course.
