vovat | Really on an Ego Trip (Reply)

Well, I voted, even though I doubt it will affect anything. Then again, if everybody thought that, it could potentially cause some problems. Not that I even know whether votes count for anything. What I think is weird is how, after all the fuss over Diebold voting machines losing votes, I still see so many Diebold products around. To be fair, I guess one bad product doesn't make all their products bad.

In other news, my friend Rose/Daskaea gave a positive review of my blog on her own journal. Here's what she said:
Vovat also caught my attention through his tumblr, but I later found out that he runs a blog called Vovatia. I have mad respect for Vovat, he may be more of a religious studies/history buff than I am and his blog is mostly academic. For those of you who adore nearly daily updates of awesome religious/historical/philosophical factoids and other such awesomeness, look no further than this blog. Reading Vovatia is a complete treat, and his intelligent, well thought out writing is worth the read. My only complaint is that he uses Wordpress instead of blogger. Haha.

Actually, I used Blogger years ago, but haven't come back to it since leaving for LiveJournal. I'm not sure exactly why I went with WordPress for my subject-specific blog, but I did like the format. Anyway, you should all check out Rose's blog, because it's cool, even when she isn't mentioning me. {g}

The latest Simpsons episode wasn't bad, but probably could have been better. The descriptions I read of it before seeing it made it sound like Jane Lynch's character taking Homer's job was going to be the main focus, but that turned out to be more or less secondary to Bart and Martin's robo-seals. Also, Roz's power grab occurred much faster than I thought it would, which might have been a side effect of what probably should have been an A-story being the B-story instead. I did find the bit about Ned Flanders remembering Roz from Bible camp to be a nice bit of character development. Isn't Mr. Burns also afraid of being touched, though? The robo-seal plot was all right, but the conflict seemed tacked on, and didn't make a whole lot of sense anyway. People still die even if they're happy, so why would the funeral industry care so much about the seals? I did think the crossed wires making the robots evil was a nice bit of continuity, and Professor Frink's inappropriate acronym was worth a laugh. Also, Mrs. Glick is dead now? It's not like they used her much as of late anyway.
