Vociferous.

[wolfpangs]

So I had an odd gap between appointments today and instead of going home or sleeping on my table or whatever, I went grocery shopping, got a new checking account at a different bank (goodbye, Compass Bank!) and went to see V for Vendetta. Which was awesome. It made me laugh, it made me cry and stuff blew up real good. I haven't read the graphic novel but I'm definitely going to.

The movie got me thinking about revolutions and how they sometimes start small. And I started thinking about the Bright Blue Dot stickers. Just a little red sticker with a blue dot and the words "Another bright blue dot in a really red state," created to combat the hordes of W the President stickers that seem to be everywhere. If you're a blue dot in a red state, you can get one at the official website or you can comment here. I'm giving away four.

I've got another idea in mind, something to do for the fourth of July, but I want to ponder that one for a bit before I officially announce it.

And oh yeah, my trip home this weekend--it turns out that you really can't go home again. I went back to a town that doesn't feel like home, that doesn't have a stranglehold on me anymore. I always thought it had a huge influence on me but it felt like a stranger's city. I don't really feel like this town is my home, either, though. Maybe I'll just be a citizen of the world for a while.

I have been sitting here saying "vociferous" for a good five minutes now. It really rolls off the tongue.

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished, as the once vital voice of the verisimilitude now venerates what they once vilified. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an introduction, and so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

Verily, a visionary validation of verbosity!
