I sent in my absentee ballot. (I'm still registered in NJ. Once I graduate grad school and end up somewhere that I know I'll be staying more than a few years, I'll switch my registration. Also, once I'm living somewhere that my vote will actually count for something.)
I am also so sick of campaign ads. We've been getting them from Maryland and Virginia, and both are just irritating. Though the John Allen and Jim Webb ones from Virginia have sometimes gotten a bit amusing -- the quotes from the novels were at least different.
I have to go back to New Mexico to vote. (I'm making this like it's a huge deal and I'm so patriotic, when really I would have been back there anyway.) I've not technically moved yet, and as I just (finally!) signed my lease this week, I haven't been able to prove residency in Arizona yet to vote here.
But I'm kinda glad, because I'll get to vote at the chapter house one last time, and that's fun. Plus it's a Navajo Nation presidential election year, so it'll be all very exciting and there'll probably be food. There's a reasonable chance that a woman will be elected president for the first time in Navajo history (Go Lydia Lovejoy!) so we're all rooting for her. It's a matriarchal society so it surprises me a little there hasn't been one yet. But the women I know are all, "Hey, let's get a woman in there. She can clean up the messes the men left behind, just like we all do!" The corruption and craziness of Navajo politics is just out of control. I'm hoping for a good election result.
But anyway, yeah, I still have a little homework to do. Not being physically there, I haven't heard the comparisons for the local offices. I'll have to see if the local paper has them online, or I'll need to abstain from those smaller elections.
Do you have your voter's registration card?
Err.... maybe? Somewhere?
Oh, yeah, and I'm just excited that with my DirecTV here, I can get Phoenix locals, so the campaign ads are at least marginally applicable. For the last five years, I've been good on NY & LA candidates, but had no idea what my own were saying.
And I still like Nick Rhodes the best of Duran Duran.
I would've pegged you as a Simon Le Bon Bon fan.
Journey? It's a good thing Victor's not here. There'd be ranting and he's a slam poet and that's pretty much all they do. You'd get what for!
Please tell me we love Journey unironically. It's a thing.
Also, BSG is fucked dude. Someone should have told me.
I tried this in the wrong thread!
Say, if we're talking about musicians we never should have liked I can casually mention making out with Leif Garret...
That is only one of the reasons you are AWESOME!
Also, I am DRUNK! Also it is raining!
Those two facts have more to do with each other than you'd think.
