Decided

Not going to pursue the longevity gig. It's straight-up admin. Not worth considering at this pivotal point in my career path. Here we go non-benefits! If anyone has good emergency/major large expense medical problem insurance to recommend, please let me know. High deductible ok, just something cheap to get me through the next year or two in case of emergency. Peace of mind for Mom.

Hey, Halloween was awesome! I dressed up as a plant /wood nymph / poison-ivy-inspired creature. F, James and I went to a few different parties, and really enjoyed them all. Even the walking from one to another was ok (it was a fight to the death for cabs out there). This one guy was an interactive voting machine. He would take you through the process (thumbprint, income verification, race verification, and finally a biased pointer towards your candidate of choice) and then give you an "i voted" sticker at the end. Plus, he could rest his drinks on the top of his votey box.

I feel pretty good about being done with voting. California voting is hard, with ~ a dozen state propositions to consider, and ~20 San Francisco ones, but I did the work, and tried to balance cynicism and progressive optimism equally. Slowly I'm learning how to vote. I remember the first election I participated in, I basically guessed on everything not President-related. Sorry about that.

Joe and Kris are on a romantic getaway, which Francisco has decided gives him the authority to walk around in the nude. Um, hello, have you forgotten about the troll in the basement? The troll is caffeine-dependent, so maybe this early in the morning you are safe from judgement.

I am a decision machine today. Send me your issues and I will quickly and painlessly judge them. The rain has trapped me inside, which is thrilling really. I am cleaning, eating, rediscovering music, and passing judgement. What a great weekend. I am so ready for winter.
