I cannot believe that they are asking whether the NSA spying on citizens without any kind of warrant might be perfectly justified and necessary.

It's not even the government that I'm concerned about. I'm not a citizen, so they were already spying on me anyway. What terrifies me is that there really are people who think that ANY violation of civil liberties is acceptable so that the terrorists don't get us.

The right wing tries to make us think they're so manly and Christian. If they were either one of those, wouldn't they be...just a little less scared of getting killed?

I haven't done a more than half-hearted cleaning of my home since, oh, February or so. Yeah...I suck. Or, at any rate: as my energy level decreases, I Absolutely Must get to class, I Absolutely Must get to work, I Absolutely Must get enough cooking done so that I don't starve or spend my whole budget on take-out, and the lowest priority is the cleanliness of the apartment.

Clearly this can't continue. Especially if I'm moving--and that'll be as early as May if I'm lucky.

And now, finally, I have a big chunk of free time and enough energy to get me...somewhere. We'll see how far. So far, I have cleaned off the dining room table and wrapped four presents.
