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.
Mal: Okay. She won't be winning any beauty contests anytime soon. But she is solid. Ship like this, be with ya 'til the day you die. Zoe: 'Cause it's a deathtrap.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

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]

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
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:

ok vote411.org is the best voting helper ever. My whole ballot is propositions and there is no way I would have understood them in the booth.
