today is one

for the history books.


it's not only election-time over there in the u.k., but here at the university as well. i've never been too big on campus politics, because it seems that the students get fucked regardless of who is in power. so when i voted, i did so less out of agreement with platform/ideology/promises of a campus ski-lift, but more as a personal favor to friends who are running and/or based on personality of the candidates; i've been in classes and have worked with these people, so chances are if i've experienced them to be a douche bag they didn't get my vote. simple.

it being cinco de mayo, i'll celebrate with my choice of mexican beer. on a related note, many lausd parents didn't send their kids to school today thanks to rumors about continued violence between african-american and latino students.


finally--what is considered to be more important by many--, disneyland turned 50. oh joy. disney, i salute you for being perhaps the world's most powerful corporation. continue to brainwash the world's youth with your promotion of capitialism and perpetuation of jaded race and gender stereotypes. yeah, you have produced some excellent films and clever cartoons. but that doesn't change the fact that you are a heartless machine.
