Faces of Unsolved Mysteries gets new steam, and goddamned Sarah Palin

Pardon my relative quiet this month. It’s been a downward spiral of decadence, ink, firearms, and (most frightening of all) furniture ownership. And I’ve made more time to read, as you’ll have seen from the ever-changing “Reading” section in the sidebar.

I hadn’t checked my tumblr dashboard for a while, and when I did yesterday, I discovered that Filled with Chocolate Pudding!, one of my favorite tumblogs, had linked to Faces of Unsolved Mysteries. Traffic on Thursday went up 583.33% (to 35 people)! So I hastily updated, and will have to soon make a trip to the library for more delights to share. This is a public service to you.

I was largely well-behaved online during the presidential election. But I cannot ignore this. “This” being a video of Sarah Palin being interviewed for an Alaskan TV station after the annual gubernatorial turkey pardon. She talks for 3 minutes about total bullshit, wearing a Burberry scarf and drinking Starbucks, and then there is a dude in the background slaghtering a turkey. You cannot make this shit up.

Hello, President-Elect Obama.

I voted this morning at Northside School. Took about one and a half hours from start to finish.

I’m currently waiting to hear Obama’s victory speech on cnn.com.
