As a city employee, I get the day off of work today! Be jealous of me! I’m going to go and vote, just as soon as I finish another cup of tea.
Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

Scola, you could come to the reading tonight! Or, not! Either way I wave in your direction.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I can't figure out if I am supposed to vote today, and if so, on what. I guess I will swing by City Hall after work and see what's going on.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I need to look up the items on the ballot. There are State Constitutions things that I am sure are too confusing to really understand in the voting booth.

I highly recommend vote411 - you can look at all the races and propositions in your area and print out a ballot of how you want to vote: [link]

My students have a midterm today, which means the only way I could vote would be to wake up really early, and I didn't feel like doing that for a ballot that's almost entirely uncontested local races.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I get to do crazy proportional representation voting for the one and only time today! I probably won't rank all 25 candidates for City Council, but I'll do a bunch of them. And I only have a recommendation on one person running for School Committee, so I may just vote for her and leave it at that.

Latest word on the mall shooting seems to be failed suicide by cop -- he went into the mall and started shooting, but by most witness accounts, deliberately did not aim at anyone, trying to goad the police into shooting him. And when that didn't work, he shot himself.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Gah, that's so so sad. I'm glad there's no cop who might have to deal with crippling guilt for the rest of his or her life.

I can't decide where to put this one, but I think DH's latest TwoP gallery will be of interest to several Buffistas. Potential Thor or GoT spoilers:
