On edge.

Waiting for this election is like waiting for Christmas, except that this is a Christmas that could go very very badly. Sort of like the ones in my family used to, with my grandfather yelling and making everyone miserable. Except we knew that we would be able to escape at the end of the evening, and in the case of this election that evening will last approximately four years instead of four hours.

You may or may not have noticed, but the blogging has increased here at Casa de Julz, and it’s all political. This is intentional on two counts: one, I have to blog about it because this is what I’m thinking of all the time right now, and if I don’t get it out somehow, Zuul will escape out my chest ala Alien by Tuesday. Two, this is my own personal get out the vote campaign. I know not as many people are reading the blog these days because I was such a slacker for months on end, but if I can get anybody who is reading it to get involved in some way in a campaign or even more simply, just to vote? I will be happy.

Voting information, in case you don’t know your polling place, or what ID you need to bring, or what the regulations are about wearing campaign buttons or t-shirts in the polling place, or you just want to find out about voting rumors you may have heard, can be found here: VoteForChange.com (rumors and everything other than polling place info can be accessed through the links at the top of the page).

Someday, when I can think about something that isn’t politically related? I will tell you how Samang was a champ at the trick-or-treating. Kid has brought me candy. Now she just needs to learn to bring me some beer.
