The window gate guy called and asked me if I'd moved all the furniture so they could install the gates. While this should have, probably, been obvious to me, it wasn't, and everything is still a mess from the robbery.

I panicked and told him I hadn't and couldn't by myself and did we need to reschedule and would it cost even more. I haven't been well, I said, since the robbery. Who the fuck says that? What sort of complete weakling am I?

So he said we'd work it out and now I'm cleaning the bedroom frantically so we can move furniture and they stole the diamond and ruby (cheap, shitty) earrings my racist, anti-semitic grandmother left me and did I think I was okay?

Hahahahaahah.

Oh, I'm sure you can still lure me. Just not, you know, into your home. When I say deathly allergic, I'm not exaggerating. Even weekly shots couldn't make me cat-friendly. It's tragic, because I do actually like cats, and because everyone I seem to know has one.

Oscar Wilde is my spiritual adviser. I have a little figure of him on my desk at work. I look up at him occasionally and say, "Oscar Wilde, I do not want to compile this data for assessment. What should I do?" and he looks down and says, "Write a play." It's quite helpful.

[insert GO jealousy here.]

I'm saving all of my gin for the 4th and 5th of November. Just in case.

Dude. We still got to get on this lottery thing. I mean, I'm due for some good luck, right?

And man, you do have a point. I suppose I'll drink the dregs of the Nuvo if I have to if the election goes wrong.

Well, you know my martini policy. I only drink them in emergencies. November? I'm hopeful, but the last two election cycles have given me a terrible case of civic PTSD.

You're making me want to buy Nuvo just so I can be one of the cool kids, you know...

It has a waxy aftertaste. Have I mentioned that? Makes it funnier, right?

And yeah. I can't even. My abiding memory of the 2004 election was a woman on the train clutching a crumpled up NYT and crying silently, and I can promise you, she had not just been dumped.

I don't know what to do with that. Honestly, I do not.

I was playing bass guitar in a band during the 2000 election. I'd also volunteered and done some calling/canvassing, and was really excited because it was my first presidential election (I was 20). We spent every night before band practice in front of the TV watching the news to see if we had a new president yet. The night they announced Bush was...well...you can imagine. The only thing good about it was our sound.

I saw Ministry play the day after the 2004 election. Same effect, really.

I should see who's playing around here on 11/5...

I watched the crazy fucked up "why don't we have a president yet" thing of 2000 on a TV in an S&M club.

And lo, the personal is political.

Also, I'm having this awful vision of GWB as a bossy, unskilled top. It's not a bad analogy...

Who makes really bad jokes. Totally.

stop it! I have to teach children! I cannot be thinking about this! Gah!

re: Nuvo: Nooooo! You will regret it.

And hey, if things don't go our way...it'll be the fifth of November! Gunpowder, treason and plot!

Ooh! I've got several pennies for the Guy...

Let us watch as homeland security descends on us now! Warrant will read: Suspicious Britishisms, and also, mention of Oscar Wilde. Can't be having of that. Might be dangerous.

Just wait until they find out I know all the words to "O Canada" and "Land of My Fathers"...
