Had too much coffee this evening and I'm up like an owl. Came across old school stuff ...

Watching TV and coming up on the local news, voter turnout is strong so far. But there have been some glitches in the polls.

WHAT? GLITCHES IN THE FLORIDA POLLS? SAY IT AINT SO!!!!!

Is it wrong if I would rate Christine O'Donnell a 10 on the Do-It scale?

EDIT: I wish companies would be an HDRemix version of all the PS1 greatest hits. Those PS1 games aged horribly and even if I want to play them now, I can't bring myself to do it because it is too painful. HDR that shit for current gen and I would pick them up in a heartbeat.

I need to go out and grab Goldeneye Wii (scored 9 with Craig Harris on IGN, good enough for me, he's never steered me wrong) and I need to go get my voting done, but that stomach bug has left me so fucking drained and I don't feel like going anywhere.

I'm gonna go vote at least, if I feel bad after that I can at least go crash at my parents house if I don't feel I can make it back to the apartment.

I was listening to Dennis Miller the other day and he kinda brought up an interesting point about the House. Why do we still have a physical House and Senate? I know that system we have requires you to have office/residence in your state and one in Washington DC as well, but that concept was created when we didn't have the internet.These days you could just webconference that business from your home state.

What would this serve to do? Well, first off, you wouldn't have to be rich enough to own two residences, making this less of a rich man's game. Secondly, it would increase accountability, I'd think. When you think about it, Washington DC is just a nice, secure comfort zone for many politicians. If you've ever tried contacting a congressman before, they can just screen your emails and phone calls, totally ignoring you. Its a little harder to avoid people in your district if you have to actually be in your district.

The only real issue is the safety of the politician, I suppose, but everything else is a plus as it would force representatives to actually represent the people.

Kind of like in Star Wars or Xenosaga where the senators would "tune in".

Only if you consider it sexy to be unsufferable. I just consider Christine O'Donnell another Sarah Palin who failed to build celebrity status like the latter. I believe she declared that it was her divine calling to run, but it looks to me like her God has abandoned her at the polls.

Oh, crap, just remembered.

Before I forget it completely again, I had a dream last night that I met Feba in person. Or at least, someone who said he was Feba and recognized my screen name.

He actually looked like a pretty cool guy (I think he had some wide sunglasses and a light-brown leather jacket), and I think he was riding on a Vespa at one point. He really wasn't a jerk so much as a little socially inept, but overall he was a decent person. Also, totally not fat, and no "febafro." I think we met on the road/sidewalk (details have been forgotten), and I think we agreed to meet up somewhere else to talk some more, and then we did (again, all details forgotten).

Kinda bizzare, and I should really get in the habit of keeping a dream journal for stuff like this.

I saw that a couple of weeks ago. Loved it. Plus, his voice is just so pleasant to the ears.

For the love of fuck someone tell me this number does not represent what I think it represents.

I think it does, Feba. And if so, I am seriously afraid of that #. Damn you off, topics! You tricked me into thinking I had a life!
