"This is a historic moment - for the Congress, and for the women of this country. It is a moment for which we have waited more than 200 years. Never losing faith, we waited through the many years of struggle to achieve our rights. But women weren't just waiting; women were working. Never losing faith, we worked to redeem the promise of America, that all men and women are created equal. For our daughters and granddaughters, today, we have broken the marble ceiling."

-- Nancy Pelosi

You go, Madam Speaker! *grins*

They got here a day earlier than expected.

...Well I don't know if 'expected' is the right word considering the fact that they were suppose to be here by the 23rd, but whatever. *rolls eyes*

*goes off to read*

Damn, that sucks! Amazon, for reasons unknown, decided to send a bunch of stuff that was ordered for Christmas by USPS instead of UPS like they were suppose to. So now the package is going to arrive on the 28th instead of the 23rd like it was guaranteed. I have three books in that order; I could have been done with them by the 28th! It's not like they were thousand page novels or anything...

Gah, very very annoying!

*sighs*

Another nail in the coffin is that fact that one of my presents came from the UK and it got here by the 22nd, I believe. Said present being the Lion & Tiger plushies from Kenya. So cute! +hugs plushies+

The rest of my presents are [two DVDs and three CDs]:

Metropolis
Equilibrium
The Academy Is... - Almost Here
Evanescence - The Open Door
Jack's Mannequin - Everything in Transit

And the three books are going to be:

Nineteen Eighty-four by George Orwell
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

They better get here soon! *peeved*

Man, it's been a while since I've heard the sonic boom from the Space Shuttle. *smiles*

Welcome Home, Discovery Crew!

Happy Holidays!
