So, I tried to go to the opening College Republicans meeting tonight and made it as far as the poster that was set up to attract the unwary. There in big block letters – "Pro-Life" "Defend Marriage" "Support the Troops!" (not that I don't support the troops, because I do, but why should that be a republican come-on?) – and I got kinda angry. I had a vision of handing out McCain bumper stickers, and realized that I wouldn't be able to live with myself. Then, I accidentally checked out the chick (which I do occasionally though never in much seriousness) walking up the escalator and knew I was in the wrong place.
I still think I'm a republican, I can't quite give away the label yet because there's just as many things the dems do that I don't agree with. I'm just sick of party politics. Maybe I'll try to check out the Young Dems next week and see if I do any better.

Regarding Stargate: Universe, I am cautiously optimistic. I really enjoyed ST: VOY, and I always thought that SGA was more compelling, in canon and fic, when they were cut off from Earth. I think I'll enjoy a younger cast and influences into the story arcs. JoeF, Ben, Michael, and David are all very nice to look at, but I do like 'em a little closer to my own age too.

amireal's advert campaign. Instead, I like what liviapenn had to say here. Defriend me if you need to, but I don't plan to make a big deal out of anything. I'd like to be fannish about the new series, but it's a long way away.
I'm still drowning under a pile of papers and readings. I would really like an August redo. Please?
