Election ’08
Tue Nov 04, 2008 17:49 (UTC -5)It’s been a week since my 1,000th post, but all is not quiet. I just like to rest on my laurels.
I went home for the weekend. My friends Nick and Cristi were having a Halloween party on Friday night, and I couldn’t figure out what I should be. At the eleventh hour, I had an idea.
In seventh grade, Nick and I (and our friend Sean) dressed as (three of) the Beatles. We had light brown suits and black turtlenecks, which (I think) were supposed to be reminiscent of the Beatles’ Shea Stadium garb. We had cheesy wigs too. It was pretty funny.
So I dug through my old stuff and found the original coat and shirt (not the wig, alas, but my hair was long enough that I wouldn’t need it). It was a blast from the past… from the past. Oh, and the party was cool too. I spent the rest of the weekend mainly hanging out with Mike, Nick, and TJ. I wish I could have stayed longer, but Thanksgiving is just around the corner.
Okay, who isn’t sick of hearing about the election? Election Day is today, and I voted today. Yay democracy.
No, I didn’t vote early. I made the time to do it today, and there was hardly a wait at all… probably because everyone else voted early. It was smart of Obama to push early voting; clearly he knows that some of his strongest supporters are college students who are usually too lazy to go to the polls. (At least, that’s what I think the rationale was. A friend told me today that Obama was tacitly telling people to vote twice. What the heck?)
Obama has been leading by a significant margin in all the national polls, so it looks like he’s going to win. If he does, I will be happy.
