vote / non-flu
Nov. 7th, 2007 10:24 amA delightful and educational poem.
Polling Place: "And that's why" for me, too.
I can only echo PNH's comment: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. The customers that pissed me off the most when I worked at Waldens were the ones calling to berate us for not having copies of the swift-boat book in stock. Because clearly we were a buncha libruls who wanted to keep the truth from getting out at the expense of our business. The article also contains the unintentionally honest quote "They’ve structured their business essentially as a scam." Well, yes. And now you're shocked to find yourselves on the receiving end?
I went and got a flu shot on Monday for the first time. Pretty painless, and now I'm safe (more or less) from the predations of the influenza virus. Unexpectedly encountered Dan-the-grad-student, doing billing work for the doctor giving the shot. Dan used to come to Spiel a few years ago, until classes got to be too much for him. Now he's in Oakton and potentially interested in more gaming.
Voted yesterday. Later than last year, but even taking that into account there were a lot fewer people. I guess state races aren't as sexy as national ones. I've been mail-bombed for the past three weeks with negative ads from the House Republican candidate; the sense of joy I got from throwing them in the trash faded after the fifth or sixth and was replaced by irritation every time I opened my mailbox. So, yay for that being over, and more yay for Ms Vanderhye for her victory.
Woke up this morning slightly woozy and with a sore throat. "Aw, crap," I thought, "what is this? It's like a really low-level case of . . . oh, right." Nice warm red sore spot on my upper arm where they stuck me, too. Could be worse, I guess.
