The Golden Compass

I’ve always kinda wondered where I tend to lean politically, since there are so many terms thrown out in the news every day. Today I found this interesting electoral compass that gives you a general idea of where you stand.

I found I am very slightly more to the left than to the right, and maybe 75% liberal and 25% conservative. I don’t know that this test is completely accurate, but I probably have some liberal tendencies and everything else is kinda neutral. Also, I don’t know much about Fred Thompson, but apparently he totally disagrees with me.

But It’s Pink

I finally convinced Bunky to get a Nintendo DS Lite. She’d been considering it for a while, but was wavering on the fence. Unfortunately, as soon as she decided to get one, we found they were sold out everywhere. Originally she wanted the black one, but when it looked like that one wouldn’t be in for a while, I managed to convince her to just get the pink one (which we were able to find 4 of at a Target store). She also grabbed Nintendogs, Yoshi’s World, and Mario Kart.

For some reason, Bunky was really against getting the pink DS. I have no idea why, since I think it looks fine, and she is totally a girly girl. She thinks people will not take her seriously, but how serious are you when you are playing Nintendo? So far she’s really enjoying the DS, especially on the rare days off from the office. These DS games are perfect for her because they are not as difficult as the Wii games, and facilitate short (but frequent!) play sessions.
