Meh

I have had so little excitement this last week, it's not even funny. Well, politically speaking, the fact that Romney got his butt kicked was exciting, and that pretty much every conservative in CO is boo-hooing, including a certain GOP chairman of El Paso county who irritates the daylights out of me, based on a long and unpleasant history with his family. Such events are also upsetting to lame radio people like Rush Limbaugh who are part of an old and dying guard. There is a sense of distinction between the tried and failed bigotries of previous generations, and slowly has emerged a movement towards sense and pragmaticism as opposed to the typical behaviors that we have seen in our parents' and grandparents' generation.

Anyways, tomorrow are votes in Washington, Kansas, Louisiana and Nebraska. I think it'll mostly be a round-up for McCain-easy win in WA, probably easy in Kansas, and Louisiana is probably going to go 50/50. The more interesting thing is the dems, and I don't know that Hillary can avoid being swept. Nebraska will probably follow the lead of all its neighboring states and go for Obama, Louisiana has a heavy black population that will vote for Obama soundly, but Washington looks like Hillary may be competitive there with a history of pro-female voting. Maine I would think would go for Hillary, but you can never know these things.

Work this weekend promises to be challenging. I have three labs to catch up on, still, and that should take decent chunk out of one of my days this weekend.

I also have an exorbitant amount of petty homework and an excessive amount of invovled thesis research which promises to ruin my life. I intend on getting it all done, of course, but I do not long for the days when these things pick up again (aka, Monday).

I splurged today-I first paid off my current credit card bill, of 417.95, only to put another 132.25 on there. Gr. Oh well, I got paid today and will be again in two weeks, which should help things out a little.

Time to go to work (job #3).
