But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Where is my lizard?

I have a plastic lizard that sits on one of my work monitors. Now it's gone. I can tell the cleaning lady moved my monitors over the weekend.

Hey - monitor lizard. That just occured to me.

Aww, I don't mean you! It's the ads against the mayor that are very much "City SUCKS! Cesspool!" as if the biggest city is the bastard child of the state. And I'm like, dude.

I skip over most of the ads (thanks dvr!), so the ones I do catch crack me up because they seem completely out of context. But the senate race seems vicious.

I don't want to be Superman. I want to stay little and be next to Mommy.

We had a message on our answering machine from Hillary Clinton. My 6yo son played it back while I was busy with someone else and very carefully wrote down the phone number at the end (further information, I guess -- I wasn't listening). He was so proud of himself.

Several times the recording that called us was "Please hold. All of our attendants are busy."

What's weird here is that I live in one of the most conservative counties in the country, but in the "liberal" town with the college, and in a state that's fairly blue, so the local politics are divided and fierce (signs being ripped down, etc.). It's a big change from "how much will the Dem win by" Brooklyn.

Snerk.

I hate when people move my desk toys. My tech support Magic 8 ball has gone walkabout a few times, but I've always managed to retrieve it.

Is that just a usual Magic 8 Ball, or does it have answers taylored to tech stuff?

The senate and gubenatorial races are pretty cutthroat.

North Carolina prepared me for this. NM is its own brand of weird and sure didn't!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Nothing's too hotly contested here, except the aforementioned State Comptroller's race, which, who really cares? And yet, I'm going to have to vote before work tomorrow because I might have plans after work and would get home too late, and god forbid I don't vote!

WI has a proposal to ban gay marriage on the books this election. I've gotten more automated calls about that than anything else. I'm fairly pissed at my state right now and I can tell you I will be voting a big damn NO on that one.

The questions on our ballet were filled with so much legal babble that I can barely figure out what voting yes or no means for each one.
