Must vote today. The two things I care most about this election are the governors race and the forest preserve referendum. The governors race is more of a lesser of two evils scenario, because I know who I definitely don't want elected. I'd like to vote for the third party candidate, but I fear he might get enough votes to swing the victory to the ( Read more... )

I'm seriously beginning to become concerned about losing my job. A monkey could handle this crowd. I don't know why it has become so slow lately.

I checked my email this morning and had messages from both of my brothers. Coolness. Now, if we could just figure out a way for us to all be in the same room for the first time since...well, 1999 at best, though I think it's been a little longer than that. We went to see Contact in the summer of '97 at the now closed Grove theater. That's the last ( Read more... )

This is not good. Getting up in the morning is getting easier and easier, and staying up past eleven is getting harder and harder. Not good at all. I'm too young to be going to bed so early ( Read more... )
