You know what's great --- when you intend to get up early, set two alarms with the express purpose, and then still manage to oversleep due to lack of willpower. Add to that a fun nightmare abobut giving a presentation for this old bat that used to teach me english (but it was to be a science presenation of a journal article) with a group and we had to work on it in a huge hotel/library that was being taken over by the department of defense and my group left me so they could get pretty (which included two college friends and then Zach from this season of Big Brother), leaving me to ford spies and snow and nearly getting run over by some SOB, only to get to the classroom to discover that I don't have the power cord to my computer which means the computer won't last through the presentation and NO ONE in the class has a jump drive or blank CD....After 20 minutes of this, I decide to jog back to where my power cord is and I wake up just as I let loose a loud and guttural 'FUCK' at the fact that I'm going to fail this class because my group left everything to me.

Yeah...my subconscious seems to be picking up on a few things, no?

Also, a thought from her on the MSM coverage of democratic candidates:

I want to put an idea out there that I've run across in a few places and see what you've observed.

I'mseeing a lot of neoCon-slamming-Hillary and almost nothing about JohnEdwards online. And neoCon slamming other candidates. And what I'veheard is that this is a Rove strategy used before, not in a way I'dexpect: slam the candidate who looks *least* capable of gainingelection, so that it takes news space away from the stronger candidateand keeps the stronger person's message from getting out there.
