I didn't expect to be so disappointed in California.

I had a very un-jenny-like day yesterday.

For the first time in my life, I openly supported a politician. I'm very VERY against proselytism for things like religion and politics. I'm totally for it for things like Roller Derby and the removal of pegged pants from the Norton School System in 1992, just not for the "big" stuff. So I wore the Obama shirt that I got at Sundance from Yosi Sergant out to vote.

Well heck if it's not illegal to wear candidate gear at the polls. Who knew? I greeked myself and got it done and whatever, but good to know. Also, way to get smacked down hard while doing something difficult.

We had an election party last night. Very small, filled with beers and sushi. We played a drinking game with Red Stripe and Blue Moon...things like "drink Blue every time the word "Historic" is mentioned...drink Red every time the word "Maverick" is mentioned..." Stuff like that.

However, the party was short lived. Blessedly so. I'm very proud of my country.



here's a tip kids: always keep a bottle of Veuve on ice. you never know when you need to celebrate your country with the PSBs.

I'm very disappointed in our state though. And especially Los Angeles. But that's another story.

obama, election
