November 2008
There is some sort of parade on N Halsted, which I didn’t know about until the bus stopped at Diversey and told everyone to get off. So then I walked up Halsted the rest of the way thru tons of costumed people.
I only saw 2 jokers. Lots of firemen without shirts on and other shirtless costumes. And people in drag.

Anyone have a ticket to the Obama event on tuesday but don’t have a guest to take? Take me!
I don’t have much to offer… but I’ll stand next to you, and if we decide to get hotdogs or hot chocolate, I’ll pay!
I’ll also watch your back if a riot goes down!

What channel is this Obama thing on again?
ABC isn’t doing the Obama TV thing, and instead has a new episode of Pushing Daisies playing opposite Obama…

I saw someone with wild style tonight. I was walking back from the grocery store. I was tempted to take a picture, but I was carrying stuff, and it was dark, and I’m not sure its totally legal to secretly take pictures of people and post them online…
So instead, I shall describe what I saw.. with words.
He had tight purple pants, stuffed into thin black boots. On his left ankle...
Today I mailed in my absentee ballot in my first ever presidential election. Hooray.
For some reason my mom can’t understand me on the phone. It’s very frustrating, I have to repeat myself multiple times, loudly and with perfect diction.
How now, brown cow…
This is ridiculous. Temperature outside: 53 degrees. But it’s so hot in my apartment that I am in shorts and a tshirt, with the window open. I might have to turn on the AC.
My brother peed next to Michael Phelps in Vegas.

I carved a pumpkin at work today. Pictures sometime?
I need some new clothes. Time to run for VP.
Every day I run out of something. 2 days ago I finished off a box of cereal, the bread, and orange juice, so yesterday after work I stopped at the corner store to reload. But yesterday, I finished off the lunch meat, and dinner-fixings. Today after work I went to the grocery store, and restocked on those items and more. Tomorrow morning I will run out of milk.
Eating is a never-ending chore.

I’m fairly 100% certain I just saw “Britticisms” on the #8 bus.
I was on the #8!
You had a green scarf on! I was sitting in those seats facing out on the rear door.
I’m fairly 100% certain I just saw “Britticisms” on the #8 bus.
I just drank 2 big glasses of Coke, now my heartrate is so fast. Maybe shouldn’t have done this so close to bedtime…
Man, there are a lot of people running for office. All these judges for Court of This and That… I have no idea who to vote for.
And then a bunch of Ohio ballot issues, and a bunch for my hometown too. I’m glad I’m doing this absentee, I would be standing in that little booth for an hour trying to figure this stuff out.

I really like the graphic styling in this video. And the message.
This is a tiny studio apartment, and I am the only person to step inside it in over a month: How the F could I have lost my nail clippers?

Today was super domestic. I cleaned the apartment, took out the trash, cleaned the dishes, did the laundry, and even made myself dinner. Huzzah
Got an anti-Kucinich mailer. Across the top it says “39 years of Dennis Kucinich in Elected Office” and then below is a screencap of a Syrian news station showing Dennis, to the right of which is “Look at the Mess We Are In!”
So ok, I could easily find screencaps of any politician shown on some news-station where the text is all swirly and foreign. Doesn’t mean...

One issue I agree with McCain: Nuclear power. Safer than people think, and a good fix to part of the energy issue.

I’m in! Let’s check us out some earmarks.
I’ve only seen 3 episodes of Chuck, those being the first two, and monday night’s. This experience has allowed me to make the following comparison (metaphor?):
Getting home from work and reading a day’s worth of tumblr dashboard feed is like getting the latest Intersect update (Intercept? Whatever, the computer that he is now)
Ohio’s tenth district (the fighting tenth!) is West Cleveland area. (map p.s. why show Lakewood and Westlake and not the awesome city inbetween them??)
In the primaries, Representative Kucinich faced four challengers, and got 68156 votes. The other four got 47891, 8780, 6780 and 3982. So he beat the second highest, Joe Cimperman, by 20265 votes.
In the Republican primaries, Jim Trakas...

Absentee ballot came, time to decide the fate of the nation.
Also, I’m in the only district that can vote for Obama and Kucinich!
