it's the end of the world as we know it

and i feel bemused.

blogging from le boulanger in downtown san jose, where the coffee's gross, the mauve and beige interiors are going medieval on my ass, and the wifi is free.

random thoughts:

* you owe it to yourself to check out miz phriedz's spice girls reunion concert recap

* mitt romney wins the award for biggest ideological overreach in modern american politics with the following comment made today in his attempt to let all americans know it's ok not to be afraid of a little ol' mormon:

"Freedom requires religion, just as religion requires freedom. Freedom opens the windows of the soul so that man can discover his most profound beliefs and commune with God. Freedom and religion endure together, or perish alone"

gag me with a spoon.

funny, i grew up southern baptist, and i don't remember any windows of the soul being opened too much in that religion. in fact, i remember quite a few being slammed shut, but that's apparently just me. thanks, mitt.
