- Reading the third Kushiel book

- Am oddly psyched for Lunacon. Will, no doubt, wind up disappointed with humanity as a result.

- I should really send in something for this, ne?

- People in LJ Idol are either really nice or have the strategic skills of a paper bag; one bag, divided amongst them all. I can't figure out which. My inner Severus is appalled that I'm not automatically linking the skills lack and the nice. It's called grace and charity, I say, snarkily.

- So now I am waiting -- waiting to hear about grad school, waiting to hear about Lunacon programming, waiting to hear about Terminus programming, waiting to hear about DragonCon programming, etc etc etc.

- Hey, we're going to Boston this weekend.

- I am so wound up about the Democratic primary, I think I'll be watching the returns tomorrow night with my hands half over my eyes.

- One of my writing gigs is behind in a way I am not happy with as regards my pay.

- Fencing tonight.

Thanks to alterjess for the link. Clearly, I'm behind.

Voting for Obama

Okay, I actually want to write something eloquent about all of this (since the value of eloquence is something I believe to be a substantive issue), but it won't be until tonight if I do, and I have to imagine that if any of you are undecided and voting in Adjective Tuesday you're probably doing your research this evening, and not in the middle of the night when I would probably get around to writing something, so, for now, I direct you to birdseyeview on Obama's record as well as some other random stuff that's at least interesting if not always entirely relevant.
