My face is somewhat back to normal, thank God. I no longer look as if I was a victim of a battery acid accident, or that I am a female version of The Phantom of the Opera. I did, happily, rent 'Breakfast at Tiffany's', and so, being in a somewhat amiable mood, have a dire public service announcement:

Please do not vote for Mr. George W. Bush.

As I will only be under age at the time of the November election and, therefore, cannot vote (Damn them!) I must urge all of you out there with some kind of semblance of intelligence to help urge forward the Democratic ticket. Please. I have absolutely no idea how anyone with the brains of an amoeba can ignore what is happening in Iraq.
