Huzzah!

Today, this one and this one tied the knot. Send them good mojo with the power of your minds...

Pinter Pause

Stepped away. Took some deep breaths. Reminded myself that one of the reasons I started doing this was to put writing out that wasn't 100% perfect, because the desire to make it 100% perfect was keeping me from writing anything.

Honestly, though, I haven't been writing because I've just been so upset about this Schwarzenegger thing...

A lie. I really didn't give a flapjack. Californians could elect a dead fruit bat to the governorship, for all I care.

My most ridiculous California Recall Campaign moment happened just a few days before the election. I received an email from MoveOn.org containing this:

As the Schwarzenegger campaign reels, it's clear that the outcome of this election is up in the air. Today, we're asking you -- no matter what state you live in -- to do something this weekend to ensure that Schwarzenegger is defeated. We're asking you to participate in MoveOn phone banking to California to make sure that voters know the truth. Every Californian deserves to know the truth about this man who will be elected unless they vote No Recall on Tuesday.

Let's see, if I were to join in the phone campaign, how would my call go? I think it might go...a little something...like this:

CALIFORNIAN VOTER
Hello?

ME
Hi, this is Dan, from Brooklyn, New York! I'm calling to tell you why you shouldn't vote for Arnold Schwarzenegger!

CALIFORNIAN VOTER
Thanks for your concern, Dan. I'll be sure to give your opinion all the weight that a pizza-binging, rat-cohabitating, pasty-skinned know-it-all who does not even live in my friggin' state deserves.

ME
Duly noted. I shall cease activities related to bothering you now.

CALIFORNIAN VOTER
