a broken lull.

check out MoveOn.org's very effective ad (pdf file) on Gallup's mysterious 10-point polling gaps for the President which got everyone up in arms last month about Bush having won the race already. chill out, people. there's no way Bush has already run away with it. and never by 10 points. this thing is gonna be close to the end. and i suspect a short lead will even go to John Kerry after thursday's debate. this fake lead for Bush might do something Republicans won't expect, though: likely Kerry voters might turn up even more now.

in apartment news: i may have changed my mind about something. i'm letting the idea of looking for a new apartment enter my options now. i didn't wanna do it when the roommate told me she was moving out but this weekend, for some reason, i thought it might be a cool idea. and it would be easier to rent out this apartment to a young family or a batch of friends instead of trying to find one dude or girl who'd be willing to put up $350 each month. and the idea of having my own place is appealing to me now.

update, 11:22 am:

nice. i knew with Russ Meyer's passing last week that the long-rumored Criterion/Beyond the Valley of the Dolls announcement wouldn't be far behind. well, Digital Bits tells us that Roger Ebert let it slip that he'd recorded a commentary for Criterion :) here's hoping that the sad tragedy will at least give us a few more Meyer discs in the coming months (preferably of good quality, though).

np: death cab for cutie - something about airplanes
