ah, nobel, how they have besmerched your machine-gun-making name.

i know, this isn't exactly a "what i've been up to" post. but it is, a little.

tonight we were driving to a little italian restaurant where we were planning on eating. (we did, by the way, don't worry) when the radio announcer said the words "al gore" and "nobel peace prize" together. in the same sentence. as in, "al gore was awarded the nobel peace prize" (except in dutch, so it was more like "al gore heft het nobel prijz van vrijheid gekregen" or something like that). then i had to take a moment and try to restrain myself from rolling down the window and screaming to the sky "why? WHY?"

because who in their right mind would award a half-assed crummy politician one of the highest honors our world has in the realm of bringing about peace for his movie about pretty little animals and trees which we need to stop killing, a topic no one has ever breached before, clearly. (because david suzuki is crazy, but al gore is enlightened.)

now that i have ranted, i am a-okay.

ps. seriously. al gore? what, did no one rescue a baby this year? were they that desperate? because, you know, i've recycled lots and i don't drive, so i'm clearly a better candidate then mr. i-have-a-private-jet al gore, and a nobel peace prize would look great on my college applications.
