Warning: Some mention of politics
Nov. 2nd, 2010 08:51 pm(I feel like if I'm actually going to use DW I should get some more icons. But... effort.)
Honestly, I kind of don't want to know who wins tonight. It's going to be depressing, I know, so I'm just sticking to watching the California results, and trying to tune out everything else. I accidentally saw on Twitter that Feingold lost, and that has me upset enough.
In California, exit polls look like wins for Brown and Boxer, so, if that holds, I can be happy, a bit. But Prop 19 is going down. :( I am 100% drug free (other than those prescribed to me) but I am strongly in favor of decriminalizing pot. There's no reason for it to be illegal, and it was only made illegal originally because of the fucking cotton lobby. It's all ridiculous.
I haven't seen any projections on Prop 23, but that better fucking be voted down. That's the one where they suspend the implementation of air pollution regulation. Yeah, because in this state we really need more pollution. Ugh.
Anyway, in happier news, I watched Boardwalk Empire finally. THAT'S what I should get icons for. I'm really loving the shit out of this show. And I HAVE A SHIP!!! It's been a long time (pretty much since VM) since I really cared about a ship in more than a passing fashion. (Yeah, Leslie/Ron Fucking Swanson all the way, but I don't actually care if it happens or not.) But Nucky/Margaret is just so wonderful. And fucked up. And he's totally going to marry her and they will have lots and lots of babies and none of them will be premies. I'm still waiting for the explanation about his obsession with premies, but I assume his wife died in childbirth with a premature baby. And after this week, I assume he blames the death of the baby on his wife not being there to nurture it.
In completely unhappy news, my commute to work just got fucking horrible. It's usually 25 mins door to door, but they closed down my exit for the next month and a half. I'm going to have to try out some different exits, because today I took the exit after mine and it took me 45 minutes to get from my exit to work. And my office is literally ON the highway. It normally takes me 2-3 minutes from the exit to pulling into a parking space. So, blah. So fucking annoying.
