My sole accomplishment of the day (so far - I'm more productive at night... usually) was going to vote. I actually went out of my way, as the first place I went was incorrectly marked on the website as an early voting station. So I drove the opposite direction to get to the *real* voting station, stood in line, figured out the *weird* little machine they have this year and cast my ballot.
I have to admit, for someone who is in the dire straits of PC finals and is suffering from pure, unadulterated dread, it felt rather... uplifting. Not for the presidential election - pfft, I'm aware this is Texas and my vote doesn't matter *there* - but maybe for the local elections.
As a side note - going anywhere on Halloween always turns out to be confusing for me. I saw a nun, complete with a large, wooden cross, at the polling station. Was she really a nun? I haven't seen one in an actual habit since I was about 5. If she wasn't though, that was a fantastic costume... Same goes for the guy who I swear was carrying the carved, 6-foot walking stick and wearing a dashiki.

I can confirm the sighting of the 6-foot guy in the dashiki with the walking stick. Well, unless there are multiple 6-foot guys in dashikis carrying walking sticks around Waco.
If that's the case, homecoming at Baylor is much more interesting than I thought it would be.
Weird little machines they have this year? They used the same ones here in the March primaries and in the 2006 primary and general elections . . .
Maybe someone is out of practice voting?
I just switched my voting precinct for this election. In my old precinct in Dallas, they didn't have the weird little machines back when I was 18. Between then and now, I voted absentee because I was in Austin.
I have missed a couple more minor elections, yes.
On a completely different note, Charlie looks miserable and I love it.
