Gah. Somehow I knew I'd be up at 4:30am on Election Day. Pah.

But there is a bag of Hallyween candy (anniversary present!), so I am at least sugar-fueled.

The president's last minute desperation is amusing to me. I'm trying to be kind to those who are just now interpreting the truthiness and trying to escape the sucking moral vacuum that is the Republican party/neoconservative movement.

However, I'm worried that an overwhelming victory by the Dems will cause a free-for-all, like what happened with the 1994 Republican takeback of Congress. That seems to have turned out badly. photosinesis, you're killing me.

I took a "which candidate shares your values" quiz for governor, and, not surprisingly, none of the candidates was a clear winner. Still voting for Strickland. I feel vaguely dirty. :\

By the looks of things in the blogosphere, I missed awesome eps of TDS/TCR (due to aforementioned anniversary...celebrations). Pout.

I also want to watch Studio 60, but alas, I work Monday nights. Anyone willing to help me get started?

Sleep would be really fine right about now.

Voting accomplished. JUST DO IT.

To file under "Things that make a lot more sense now"

I did get to ask Jon Stewart a few questions at the reading I went to.  My questions were prefaced by my thanks for making it okay to actually READ the newspaper again.  Jon immediately perked up and said, "Do you do the crossword puzzles?"

"Of course!  Both of them!" I said, surprised.

"The word scramble, too?"

"Yup, I do everything, even the Sudoku!"

"Cool!"

Today I got in a movie on reserve called Wordplay, which is a documentary about Will Shortz, the New York Times Crossword Puzzle, and its fans.  One of those fans is Jon. 

Now, that whole riposte makes sense.  :)
