I don't think I could even concentrate on my appointments at the hospital until I've pushed that lever. Polls are open. So here goes.

ETA: Done. And Done. I had mapquested our new polling place (it used to be at the Hospicare right down the street-- such a nice place) so I wouldn't get lost. I left an extra hour in the morning to account for voting lines, but although the parking lot was full when I arrived the whole process took about ten minutes.

There were only three contested elections in my district-- including the presidential race-- and NO propositions (see that, Californians?). I checked three times that I had ticked the right names, swung the lever, and put my 'I voted' sticker on.

Now there's nothing left to do but wait.


Good luck everyone.

1. You know what's an AWESOME movie (if you're not epileptic)? SPEED RACER is. Why did no one tell me this? I wanted to see it when it came out in the theaters, and it took me until yesterday to get it on Netflix, and OMG! It's shiny and fast, implausible, cheesy as hell and makes no excuses. It has the catchy theme song (Go Speed Racer) and the catchy theme (one guy against the MAN) and the kid from The Kids are Alright is in it, and and and... I want to watch it again!!

2. I am so inordinately amused by Tina Fey. Almost as much as I am by Sarah Palin. Less by the government in general (although I might've laughed out loud when I read the news this afternoon).

3. You know what else is awesome? SGA is. I finally got to watching First Contact after the furor of the debate died down, and it was GREAT. By far the best episode of the season, reminded me why I got hooked on the stargate verse in the beginning-- except now I have to wait TWO WHOLE WEEKS to see what happened!

4. I just discovered the best easy curry dinner EVER. It's Spaa natural foods. You heat the packet of curry and rice in the microwave while sautée-ing some fresh veggies (pre-cut mushrooms, broccoli, and green onion) and tofu, throw it all together, and PRESTO. Awesome Thai curry in less than ten minutes.

4a. I made chipotle apples for a pot luck dinner on Saturday, and they were a surprisingly big hit. Easy, too. Basically, you sautée thinly sliced apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, a little oil, and chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (to taste) until it's one sweet and spicy mess.

5. The title for the last Spn ep? STILL cracks me up. I am conflicted about whether I will watch the VP debate (which should be hilarious) and DVR this week's episode. Or vice versa.
I'm highly amused that of all the major networks, only CW doesn't suspend programming for the presidential debate series-- although it was funnier when the choice was Obama-McCain or Friday Night Smackdown...

6. HEROES! PETER! SYLAR! MICAH! What can I say?? I'm not even going to speculate.

(7. Gosh, it looks like I'm watching a lot of TV this week.)

This shouldn't have surprised me, really, but the lengths to which she's willing to go to win this, still did.

Jon Stewart and his Super Hump Day officially own my soul and make me spit peas out my nose.

For those of you who've seen and been moved by this video, Will.i.am explains why he recorded it. Abuse of ellipses aside, I thought it was a perfect of example of one person taking it upon themselves to do something.

And lastly, I thought this was an interesting take on the "superdelegate" (which are like political superheroes. Only not.) problem.

I need an indecision '08 icon...
