…the eurovision song contest. i watched the DNC last night and how the state delegates cast their votes for the respective candidates. “alamaba, you have 13 votes. how do you cast them? we, the delegates of alabama cast 7 votes to xy and 6 votes to z” i might have the numbers wrong but you get the picture. “we give 7 points to estonia! 8 points go to spain!”… seriously. that was a spooky resemblance.
now that obama is finally nominated as the candidate of the democratic party it’s time to get down and dirty. i’m starting to get sick of all the election stuff so i hope november will come soon.
this year’s election choice is quite interesting. on the one hand you have a young inspiring guy who motivates people and who calls for change without actually saying how that change is supposed to be achieved. and then you have an old guy who i really wonder if he would manage to hold office for four years. i mean, being the president is a tough job and i don’t know if this man is physically able to manage. plus, he has no idea about how to use a computer. seriously, should a guy who doesn’t know how to use a computer (meaning he doesn’t understand how they work either, i suppose) hold such an important office?
i think in the case of mc cain the vp choice becomes a real important one because if he doesn’t manage to stick around, his vp will have to step in and will have to take charge. so this really is about thinking ahead.
i fought space bags today. you know, those plastic bags that you can store clothes and other bulky items in and then suck out the air with a vacuum cleaner? we have several bags and i wanted to use one when i move so that i can move bedding and stuff. well, i moved things from one bag to the next and then closed them to suck the air out.
unbeknownst (i love this word!) to me, one bag has a hole somewhere and the air just won’t stay out. i thought i didn’t seal it off right so i tried again. didn’t help. so i ended up moving the stuff to a new bag. uff! i so forgot that moving is exhausting. i try to keep lists to remind myself where i put things. i’m getting old you know.
that’s all for today.
