This Halloween was decent. I was much happier than last year. Gods, I was so miserable. It helps that I could go home and I carved a pumpkin, then costumed up and went out. I know I'm too old. Whatever. I've never developed that whatever-it-is that gets me to outgrow these things. This is also why I still like playing and have no life.

Wore a rubber T. Rex mask. It's really hard to see in that thing, and condensation from my breath quickly soaked my neck, but it seemed to impress people. The robe with the hood, the wings, the cape, the claws, and the mask. Not bad. I liked being in costume.

So the election's on Tuesday. Wow. It feels like it's taken so long and very little time to reach this point. I already voted, through that handy absentee ballot thing. Looks like I'm a progressive. Hope Obama wins! Fivethirtyeight seems to think so. Fingers crossed. I do have to say that it's gotten annoying, hearing about this all the time. And I've caught myself feeling a weird hatred towards the undecided and the McCain supporters, particularly when they go on about "Muslim terrorist" and "unAmerican." Yeah.

One more thing, then bed.

Now it's been fifty-one years and change since Sputnik. I'm still awed by that. This is silly, but it still gets my goosebumps crawling.
