11-3

Ah, the eve of the big election. I cannot tell you how happy I am that the day is finally here. Yes, it will suck if "my guy" doesn't win, but more than that, i'm just glad that the BS associated with political campaigns will be over. People turn into such assholes during election cycles, it's amazing. After tomorrow, everyone goes back to being just regular people. Well, I guess the ones who scrape the stickers off their cars and take the yard signs down do- but the point is, the question of who to vote for will no longer be a bone of contention or debate.

What will the media talk about once this is over? Will they go back to front page coverage of Britney Spears' latest crotch shot? I hope not.

Another great thing about today is that I registered for my last classes- ever. They don't start until January and end in April, but I cannot tell you how tickled I am to know that this is the last time I will ever have to debate which class to take, wonder how long before I get burnt out and stop caring, or grumble about assignments I don't like. It feels like i've been working on this degree forever (even though it's only been two years) and it will be so satisfying to have it done and over.

Today must be a really kick ass day because I have yet another great thing. In two days, we will be off to the great city of San Francisco for a week of fun, chilly weather, a TV on the Radio concert, and my dear friend Jen's wedding.

For the grand finale, I leave you with this sign I spotted outside the fair grounds. It took an episode of the Colbert Report to give it meaning for me, but if you follow the election news at all i'm sure it will make sense to you:



Behave while we're gone, and don't give the babysitter any trouble.
