Still amassing links for Disaster Relief. Also, I am getting ready to vote on Tuesday. I hope to hell Obama wins. Romney is pretty much "anti-everything that Gehayi needs to survive ( Read more... )

Obama has a 6pt lead in the latest poll in OH. I hope it's accurate. Romney scares me, too. If he isn't going to fund PBS, he probably is anti-library as well. Because, who needs libraries when there is the Internet? And we all know that everybody has broadband, right?

Snort.

I'm scared, too.

Romney basically hates anyone who isn't rich, white or male. This is a guy who wants to get rid of Medicare and Social Security, remember. Because those millions of people who survive because of those programs? Who the fuck cares about THEM? They should pay for private insurance just like he does!

...no. Seriously. He's SAID that.

Obama isn't perfect, but he's better than this asshole.

I've figured out my Tuesday schedule. Luckily for me, my polling place is walking distance from my house--second time that's happened, and I'm grateful for it.

I was an Ohio voter in the travesty that was 2004 and have been watching with dread this year. All of my friends there are sick and disheartened and just want the whole bloody thing to be over.

b) the NaNo story doesn't feel ready, somehow. I have the characters, but not enough information about their jobs (they're state cops) or about how a major crime unit works.

I'm doing NaNo in a similar way with that 1485 AU and I've already succeeded in writing more of it than I have in the past six years, so I'm counting that as a win. All the same, though, I've been spending most of my time on this ridiculously complicated timeline because I'm trying to figure out what does and doesn't change.

I did cheat a little by having one of the princes survive and become a major plot point, because it wouldn't be the late fifteenth century without at least one usurpation and one pretender.

There is, at least to my eyes, an appearance of impropriety, and that bothers me.

Mine too. I'm worried that, despite what the polls (and that Cracked article's list of freaky coincidental election predictors) say, the fix is in. (No, brainmeats, quoting Harlan Ellison's famous observation that "the mad dogs have kneed us in the groin while our backs were turned" does not help, at least not in any significant and lasting way.)
