Univision is reporting that people are waiting EIGHT HOURS to fucking vote in Miami. They are determined and remaining in line.
We are very worried about what happens at the cut off time on Tuesday to all the people in line. I believe if you were in line you get to vote, but intimidation is a possibility too. The Miami ballot is 10 pages long, mine was only 4 pages. Big long oversized pages.
I could have mailed my ballot, but I needed the reassurance of physically scanning the pages and watching the machine count go up. (not as fun as the old levers, but more reliable)
I may be seeing this through my rose colored glasses, but it really appears that the voters in Florida are very angry about the efforts to restrict voting and it has energized people in a way they hadn't intended. People are talking about it. I predict a huge turnout. (I have no hard proof of this, just observation)
So my tumblr timeline makes me think that this guy I went to drama school with is now on Supernatural? His name is Ty Olsen. (That's not spoilery, is it?)
He is, Sue! And he actually was briefly in S3, too.
I just IMDB'd him and he's been working a lot. Good for him. He was a year below me, but I think we were on a crew together at one point. I remember him as being intimidating looking, but actually being quite sweet and quiet.
God, it's been 18 years since drama school.

He's doing a really thick Louisiana accent for this role, too, which is sexy except I've had a little trouble understanding him.
I haven't watched supernatural since S. 4 or 5? I am very out of the loop.
His character is really interesting this season. Before that he played the bartender/vampire in the S2 episode Bloodlust (the one with Amber Benson as Lenore).
I read yesterday that the line at the courthouse in Tallahassee was out the door, down the street, and around the block. I think around 2 corners.
Well, I'm half-German and I don't give a fuck. Or maybe that's the Finn in me.
Go Team (half) Finn! If ou don't mind me asking is there a Yooper connection?
Nope. Finnish side of the family settled near Alexandria, MN. German side settled in central Wisconsin.
Eta: wait, I think my great grandfather on the Finnish side worked in a mine in the UP to get enough money to bring his family over from Finland.

My granddad worked in a UP mine for a while to support his Finnish immigrant family.
Hmmmm. Now I want a pastie and a sauna.
