1-888-VOTE-FOR-ME

Dear QotD?ers,
.
There's something pretty hilarious happening in the hallway. At least, I assume it's hilarious because there are lots of people laughing. In my opinion, it's too early for hillarity. The only exceptions being on way to Disneyland, waking up after a sleepover, or crazy. I'm not a morning person.
.
I enjoy having first and second breakfast. First breakfast was cereal while I finished doing my hair at home. Second breakfast was a banana just now!
.
Today's Question of the Day? is:
.
Have you ever voted for one of thos reality show competitions? If it had been free, would you have voted?
.
I have voted for two shows. Dancing with the Stars is free by e-mail. There was also a vote for Beauty and the Geek one episode. If it had been free, I would have voted for Pasha on SYTYCD.
.
Love,
The Asker
.
P.S. Maksim, I liked your hair better longer.

I'm so glad to learn that so many of you voted! TamiJean, did you get to keep the magic pen? Sabrina, do you have duel citizenship and can vote there as well?
.
In case you have not read or watched any news outlet or talked to anyone: Barak Obama looks to have won the presidential rate. For those of you who voted for him, congratulations. For those that did not, the government has checks and balances. I bet Mr. Obama will be one of the most scrutenized presidents of all time.

Civic Duty

Dear QotD?ers,
.
I got a jury duty summons! My first ever! I'm excited but I know the actual experience will probably be very boring.
Anne, I don't know if you read Mom's response, but she wants to know what an arepa is. (this came into play when Cuñado requested a shopping spree for tortillas).
In other news, I find it a true challenge to drink 64 volume ounces of straight-up water every day.
.
Today's Question of the Day? is:
.
Did/Will you vote in today's U.S election?
If so, what voting mechanism did/will you use?
.
I early voted last Friday afternoon. I was amazed at how quick the process was, considering our voting location served one of the higher density areas in our county.
And I voted on an electronic machine with a rotary dial and buttons.
.
Love,
The Asker

Boo?

Dear QotD?ers,
.
Welcome to November. As always, I'm very surprised at how quick the year is going. Many years ago I was watching a tv show or reading a magazine article that gave me a new perspective on the passing of time. As a 10-year old, a year takes SOOO LONG to pass, because that's 10% of your life! As a 26 year old, a year is a quick 3.8% of your life. It only gets worse. I'm sorry I have to share this depressing news with you on a Monday, but it's good for you to know. Perhaps you will do more with your time, knowing how quickly it will all pass?
.
Now, if only I could figure out all these levers on my desk chair...
.
Today's Question of the Day? is:
.
What did you do for Halloween?
.
I did nothing Halloweeny. waited for the cable guy, enrolled for 2009 insurance, watched tv, early voted. Yesterday we bought discount halloween candy.
.
Love,
The Asker
