Crashing from measly 2-hour nap last night. But strangely articulate, logical, and impressive at 5:30am this morning while writing up performance rating for underling so that although he walks on water, his halo is not too shiny and unreasonable. Am the greatest boss ever. Or delirious and manic.
Was supposed to bake pies and breads for tomorrow, instead am just going to keel over. Guilt can't even penetrate blurry shield of fatigue. Maybe another 2-hour nap will refresh enough for dinner tonight with friends long unseen. Yes, fuck work...will go home at 3pm.

Other people buy shoes, obsess about sex, gamble, drink, smoke crack cocaine....
I covet coats. Have to face serious affliction.
Decided to shop around for a coat as soon will be walking around quaint snow-drifted towns in Germany, and am lacking the right coat for that occasion. Went on a whirlwind tour of designer coats on various internet sites. Sighed and dreamed over fuzzy virgin wool/angora comfort, cuddly cashmere/fox fur joy, and long shearling sueded chocolate colored alpaca lined reversable hooded warm perfection. Oh alpaca. Seriously considered spending a thousand dollars for one coat. Am dangerously sick, but no rehab facilities available for such an addiction.

On a lighter note, my pumpkin slaughter was delayed, but successful. I believe that my little pumpkin truly feels like a useful member of vegetable society now that it's become pumpkin bread, savory baked pumpkin, and roasted pumpkin seeds (and will soon be pumpkin soup and pumpkin pie). Is it wrong to assume that a vegetable has fulfilled its life by feeding me and many others? Where's PETV when you need them?
The great thing about being a cynic and a fatalist is that recent election results don't bring me down, they just don't bring me up. But it does disappoint me that I was right to believe that the majority of Americans are ignorant and/or selfish. Our national slogan should be "It's all about me." Go America and its moral values.
My main problems with Americans and our politics:
-A majority of us are ideologically against the concept of government. Thank you founding fathers.
-Our ideals are based in economics--we care most about what will give us the most monetary returns.
-We are reactionary--easily swayed by buzz words, catch phrases, and photo montages.
-We are polarized--2 parties, opposing views, right or wrong. Anyone who recognizes gray areas is indecisive, lacks convictions, ignorant, and cannot lead our country or represent the people.
-The electoral college. People do not vote because they don't think their vote will count in their state. What is exactly wrong with the popular vote? Again, thank you founding fathers for helping out the ignorant masses.
-People who don't vote because they feel "uninformed" or can't tell the difference between the candidate's views. That's called laziness.
So, for all you who are seriously thinking about moving to Canada, check
this out. See, socialists are always thinking about others.

So sad for state of nation. Mourn continued work with defense issues under the dazed ape handpuppet of the devil. Will consider move to more intelligent state. Glad that Kerry conceded, hated gloating of co-workers. May their paychecks be cut for further defense spending. That'll show 'em.
Looking at historical election results, I was surprised by this:
I was really thinking of moving, then I see this. The year I was born, everything was so backwards--Vermont and the Western states voted Republican, while Texas, and the South voted Democratic. (Dixiecrats) Amazingly (and yet not), Virginia stayed the same ever since 1962. Shall I blame it on the eighties, the children of consumption and wealth or blame it on the parents of the eighties babies, the hippies that destroyed the image of being a liberal?

The results of the Halloween that wasn't. Disappointed in unslaughtered pumpkin. Could not express scary inner self via ghoulish makeup and pink hair. Partaked in unlimited consumption of limited edition inside out Reese cups and dark chocolate Mounds bars. Overall, I'm sleepy, icky, and well-sugared.
And now...Election day. I voted. And not only because Britney Spears told me to, but because constituents like her exist. I also witnessed 2 major car accidents today: One car flying into a ditch backwards and one SUV flipping over. The signs must be telling me something. Regardless of the signs and the extent of ignorance in the country, I will be happy about the little things, like the commemorative map of the US I got today, complete with little donkey and elephant stickers.
My very bad Election Day haiku:
I vote to prove that
Democrats really exist
in the bible belt
