Here's my tweets from yesterday, including me babbling away like all the other political junkies during the debates. I'm sort of ashamed I even clicked over to election.twitter.com at all...

• 08:17 getting ready for screen acting class #
• 13:18 writing in my screen acting journal #

• 19:01 just remember that mccain is the candidate that called his wife a cunt. #
• 19:04 omg. iran. threat to Isreal. "second holocaust?" wtf? McCain sure is good at the cheap shot. #
• 19:07 Obama is pulling his punches, just like every democrat for the last 30 years. it's sad. #
• 19:11 Obama is obviously so much smarter and well-spoken. the problem with that is, will the american people really value that? #
• 19:15 Why not negotiate with terrorists? The cops negotiate with crazy gunmen all the time. #
• 19:17 McCain's invocation of Kissinger as a good friend is damning. Kissinger is a butcher. #
• 19:24 Russia "dangerous" again = more money on its way to defense contractors. yay! arms race! #
• 19:44 now the endless analysis by the pundits.... #
• 19:48 it's interesting that everyone thinks the candidate they already favored "won" the debate. wtf?I just wish we could vote "none of the above" #

Two confirmations in the last few days that I'm not really that old: First, I just read (in the New Yorker's "Fashion Rocks" supplement, of all ridiculous things) that the guitarist from the band The Kills, Jamie Hince, is 39 as well. And he's dating Kate Moss. Second, I'm taking a Screen Acting class, believe it or not (I want to get better in front of the camera as I insert myself into my own films more and more, and I think knowing about acting will help me direct), and I was worried before my first day Friday that I was going to be the oldest person there, especially when I saw a gaggle of what looked like 19-year-olds entering the room ahead of me. I literally almost just chickened out and left, but luckily I didn't, and discovered that there were 4 or 5 others that were in my age range or older. It's actually a very diverse range of students and it looks like it will be a good class.

So, I should stop fretting. Still plenty of time to be a rock star or movie star. Hah.

Yesterday's Twitter tweets:
