Generic Friday Post o' Randomness #8

I don't have enough stuff to concoct a whole post, so here are a few random tidbits. Last night I auditioned to play bass in a band. I wrote about it on my bass blog. Here are the before and after posts about that. New York has a new junior senator, and she's the congresswoman from my home district. Since I don't follow politics back home much, I didn't even know we had a democratic congresswoman since my district is so republican (how republican is it?) that they voted against FDR even though he lived there. It's no surprise she's one of those Blue Dog conservative democrats who rode the start of the anti-republican wave in '06, but it doesn't sound like she's Joe Lieberman bad. Sunday I'm doing a technical runthrough for a variety show that I'll be directing next Sunday. I'm a bit nervous about this because of all sorts of far from ideal variables. I just have to remember to turn the limitations into creative opportunities. I've definitely done projects with less ideal variables, though never involving a live studio audience. And lastly, I've continued my campaign of no good high jinks on right wing blogs. I now take full credit for making Poor (dumb) Republican close his comments (no link since he gets paid for pageviews). He is now officially my bitch. But since that wasn't evil enough for me, another blogger and I got into a round of dead baby jokes in the comments of another right wing blog post spewing the usual anti-choice crapola on the anniversary of Roe vs Wade.
