I like Charlie Crist

He seems to be a bad republican from everything they say about him on the news. He'd make a decent democrat though. Liking the environment and Barak Obama and all. Geez! What is he thinking!

I plan on updating everyone with a super blog post about last week. It'll be tomorrow or the next day before it gets up though. So be patient!

Don’t bring a spoon to a spork fight

What I learned from the Daily Show coverage

South Carolina was in fact not the bonus state that triples your score.
Connecticut is aptly named the nutmeg state because while it is nice to have, it is not essential.
Governor Palin killed Bambi’s mother while bow hunting from a hang glider.
China can now legally keep Americans as pets.
The next president is inheriting a problem sandwich, or a giant shit burger, or a crap taco, or a turd-pounder with cheese. No one has seen anything like this since Hoover left his hoagie on FDR’s doorstep.
Things are looking very good for 9 on the pick 4 lotto.
2 people in the audience are Republicans.
92% of the people who live in D.C. like Obama.
Obama tore it up in the Electoral College. Hooray for Obama winning!

Andrew took the car, so I took the bus home. It took forever! It left late. Really late. I got off at Shane’s to try and get free food, but was denied. It was only for the first 200 or so people and I definitely was not in that group. So I bought dinner instead. Some guy gave me an Obama sticker while I was waiting. Lauren came and picked me up because she’s awesome and I love her. She came over later and I helped her with her homework (a very tiny bit). We watched the election coverage a bit (nothing else was on. I promise. Really. A rerun South Park was on, but we don’t watch that with Lauren.).

Oh, and hooray for Akin Akinyemi! Boo for passing Amendment 2. Why is there so much hate around Amendment 2?

Halloween & Voting

Halloween was a blast! We went to the FSU circus and it was fun. They did their normal stuff only in spooky costumes. It was great. After, we went to see what was going on on Woodward. Lauren joined us there. They had free corn dogs and caramel apples and bananas on sticks. Everything was good. Lauren and I played a “midway” game where we had to blow tiny boats with a straw. I won, but I think it was a tie. We colored a sidewalk tile with black light chalk. Pumpkins in Space. I think Lauren took a picture.

So today Andrew and I voted. The line was worse than I thought it was going to be. The plan was to get up early and go eat breakfast and then go vote. Wrong. When we got out to the street and saw the line that was already there (at 6:30am!), we postponed breakfast until after. We parked and Andrew couldn’t find his registration card, so we went back home to look where he found it in his pocket. The line was longer when we got back. It wasn’t that bad though. It probably only took an hour to do everything. Having a last name that starts with W was beneficial. We got to skip in line because of it.

Is it sad that I want to watch the Daily Show coverage of the election tonight instead of CNN or MSNBC?

Lots of links!

Rodizios and last night's tv

Andrew and I went to Rodizios last night for dinner. It was really good. They had this one cut of meat that quite literally melted in your mouth. It was awesome. Andrew liked it a lot. He said he liked it better than the Melting Pot, but I disagree. I like other things than just meat. If we go back again, I think I will keep my “salad bar” plate throughout the meal.

Funny but sad story: when we got home I flipped on the TV and the Obammercial was on. Like the very last two minutes or so. He was wrapping it up and I was like, that looks like he is in the Bank Atlantic center! So I called Dad and he confirmed. It’s sad that I can recognize the Panther stadium in like 2 seconds.

I also watched the Daily Show interview with Obama. I thought it was good. He answered questions without just restating the question in the form of a sentence. You betcha. I also saw the Colbert Report, and it was the first time that The Word was a fail. It really wasn’t that funny. But on a not political note, congrats Phillies. It would have been nice for the Rays to win, but, eh, neither team is the Marlins so I really don’t care. Also, Eddie got sent home on Top Design. I was scared for Nathan. I really want him to win. I heart Nathan. I like Ondine too. Preston, not so much. Eddie was starting to get on my nerves, but the judges were right. Nathan’s house would totally be more interesting.

Lycanthropes and nosferatus and apparitions, oh my!

There is not much to update on today. I think I'm going to have another go at trying to read Dracula this year. I read Frankenstein last year, but I never managed to finish Dracula. Next year maybe I might actually read Jeckle & Hyde or the Amityville Horror. Who knows. I also need to come up with some good Halloween movies to watch. Nightmare Before Christmas is good, but it's my only one.

Here is a link:

Who Should You Vote For? is an online "quiz" thing that you tell what you think of the issues and it tells you which nominee goes along with you. If you want to know what my score was, highlight from here > My Obama score was 99 and my McCain score was -39. < to here. If you don't want to know, don't look :)
